AT RANDOM

-by VIRGINIA- If you are at all inclined toward gay luncheon tables, but haven't got around to doing anything about it, drop in at the College Cupboard to see the very gay and very pretty hand-painted imported Finnish luncheon sets of 32 pieces. In aqua, blue or rust floral designs, the entire set sells for only $12.50 and includes service plates, cups, saucers, individual vegetable saucers, bread and butter plates, and serving dishes. We understand that after the ten sets are gone there won't be any more coming from Finland. Another find at the College Cupboard are the accessories for hen-pecked pipe smokers. We like the wood pipe racks, including humidor, and we really shout with glee over the spit-to-close ash trays, with the pipe-knocker outer in the middle. This, as you know, will eliminate the tobacco spillings on the floor. Bags, bags, bags- Daniels is really showing a collection of them this week. There are at least 300 beautifully soft leather bags at $1.95, in all colors from pastels and whites to the deeper shades and the turf tans. These bags look like far more than their asking price, we assure you. And if that is too much or too little, Daniels also has them from $1 to $10. Keeping fit should be one of the major joys of life instead of one of the most neglected duties to oneself. If you are a bit overweight or sluggish, why not make a trip to the MacDonald Health Studios for massage, infrared baking, mineral vapor baths, or manipulative treatments. Mrs. Bess Robins is in charge of the women's department there. The studio is in the arcade building on the Boulevard. Speaking of fitness, that applies to our skin too. Monique make-up for sun and wind-exposed skin is water-proof too, will make your skin as smooth as silk. At Alma Sanchez's salon, the Monique is selected in shades best suited to your coloring. The Bootery has added to its sales staff in order to serve properly many customer. There will be no waiting and there will be more individual treatment with the increased staff. So many times we all need to have some soiled article of clothing cleaned in a short time. For no extra charge, the Variety Cleaners will give one-day service. That's welcome news to these ears. Here are two party hints. Southern Dairies make those delicious ice cream pies, which are so decorative for a party dessert or as the main part of a light refreshment course. And Peacock's Bakery is unexcelled for its individual birthday cakes. We know many Gableites who practically have standing orders at Peacock's for all family birthdays. Harper Method, which is known for its individual care to individual hair, offers a new treatment for hair and scalp. There are no harsh chemicals used, the rich oils are gently steamed into your hair, and there are no unpleasant after-odors. That salon, in case you are new here, is right around the corner from Ponce, on Alhambra circle. Isn't it time you started thinking of brightening up your home, for more pleasant living and better appearances? Carl Warth, of the Warth Paint Co., will be glad to give you advice about painting and water-proofing, free of obligation. The Dianne Shop on Coral Way is having a special sale on all striped silk or cotton cruise bags this week. They are reduced from $1.95 to $1.59, and they are most attractive, particularly as a color relief for that white dress. Some of the bags have natural wood clasps, and all are roomy. There still is a thrill to us in picking fruit right off trees. We like to visit Gaskin's Grove, where we buy grapefruit, oranges, avocados and other fruit for 30 cents to 50 cents a bushel. If you want directions, just turn right at the end of the paved part of Bird road, and travel altogether about one mile. Also in the food line, we want to give you a word of advice. How many times have you wanted to have one of those delicious tossed green salads but couldn't find the greens? Well, you can find them all now-escarle, chicory, watercress, romaine, Boston lettuce, mint, and the rest-at Dowling's on Coral Way, just below the Boulevard. Holley's has an entire new shipment of inexpensive curtain materials and other yard goods. It is needless to remind downtown Gableites of the 23 years' experience as factory home of our wardrobe with new cottons. Holley's also has a new shipment of children's cotton and shantung frocks, at $1.00 and $1.98. Motor news this week includes a new manager at Flagler Motors on Flagler street, whom you all must know. Dick Donovan, the all-American supporter of the Gables Diamondball league, is the new manager. Dick has many years' experience as factory representative of nationally known automobile manufacturers. Flagler Motors sells Studebakers and used cars. The Dodge has always been one of our favorite cars. Mr. Tuttle at Tuttle Motors received word from Detroit this week that hundreds of telegrams and letters are pouring into Dodge headquarters, telling of the wonders of the 1941 model. The local dealer says that local buyers agree with text in the advertisements, and remember that old slogan-"Saves six barrels of gas a year."

KISCHEL PARTY HONORS RELATIVES

Kischel, 1025 Tangier avenue, entertained more than 150 friends yesterday to honor their daughters, Mrs. Madalon Kischel Barnes, Los Angeles, Cal., and Mrs. Harry Shay, Fort Wayne, Ind., and their nephew and niece Dr. and Mrs. Carl Laymon Minneapolis, Minn.

With the COUNTRY CLUBBERS

BY KARL D. SCHMITZ Manager of the Country Club of Coral Gables. One of the most surprised and delighted golfers of the year was John S. Sherman of 1121 Pizarro St., who last Sunday scored a hole-in-one. The feat was accomplished on the 170-yard No. 5, with R. W. Seize, D. A. Harrison and Dr. John S. Peek making up the foursome, and attesting to the facts in the case. John used a No. 2 iron, a little too much club under ordinary circumstances, but a head wind made it just right-in fact, practically perfect. Lieutenant - Commander Kenneth B. Salisbury, commanding officer of the U. S. Naval Reserve Aviation at Opa Locka, who addressed the local Kiwanis Club Tuesday, is a Florida booster of long standing. Commander Salisbury first visited Florida when he was sent here in 1918 as a member of the Navy Air Corps on scout patrol duty. His "beat" covered the coast line from Long Key to Stuart. Among his incidental experiences was a forced landing at Cat Cay, where, he relates, he was royally treated by the then owners of the island. The nation's leading tennis stars have taken over the club courts this week and are giving our local tennis players the stiffest competition they have ever encountered. Yesterday afternoon Frank Kovacs, seeded No. 2 nationally in 1940 and ranked No. 3 in the country, stole the show with his antics during his matches with Louis Brownstein of the U. of M., and Tommy Kahler of Ponce High. Incidental tennis, we would say the size nor the reputation of his opponent frighten him. Harry Rath, principal of Ponce and secretary of the Kiwanis Club, met the famous Bobby Riggs, America's No. 2 tennis player rather suddenly and informally when Bobby's bumper creased Secretary Rath's fender in front of the club right after the Kiwanis meeting. We are happy to report that the matter was settled amicably and out of court. Several Kiwanians suggested that Harry have Riggs autograph the dent and leave it as a souvenir of the tournament. Included in the gallery of Tuesday's play was Mrs. Edward Cook, the former Sarah Palfrey, who, according to Mr. Leo, plays most of the tennis for the family. Another charming and interested spectator was Mrs. Wayne Sabin. Our club women are planning a huge bridge-tea for Tuesday night February 11, to which the men will be invited, and have promised many attractive prizes. The fort-nightly bridge tournament, which is held every Wednesday night under the capable management of Mrs. Leo Brown, has brought out some fine players, and has just about caused the writer to give up his "by car" system and take a little advice from the experts. Among those who have attended the past few weeks are Mrs. Charles F. Weber, Mrs. Arthur Higgins, Mrs. Odin Schaefer Mrs. R. F. Brown Mrs. C. H. Crandon, Mr. and Mrs. Lawson A. Cheatham, George Andrade and Mr. and Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Brown wants just one or two more tables so if any member is interested just drop in any Wednesday night at 8 o'clock. Next Sunday we are trying an innovation in connection with our Sunday night suppers in the form of old-time movies and illustrated song slides. Sunday's program includes "His Majesty Bunker Bean" and "Officer 444." Gardner Mulloy has promised to leave his tennis tournament long enough to act as projectionist. Getting back to the tennis tournament, we take pardonable pride, along with George Gaudet our tennis pro and Steve Delanoy, our tennis chairman, in the praise of our courts by the visiting tennis stars. And before closing we should like to pass out a few bouquets to Gerda Schaeffer Eileen Franklin and Steve for the great work they are doing in keeping the tournament running smoothly.

Beauty Present On Vacant Lots, Resident States

BY MARIA MORAVSKY • People do not appreciate things which can be had for the picking. Many beautiful flowers grow in Florida, even poison the empty lots of Coral Gables, but people pass them by. When some lover of beauty picks up a neglected wild flower and transplants it, giving it some fertilizer, and a chance to expand, it is considered a vagary. "The man is nuts. Growing wild things like that-in a beautiful spot, too," they say. There are Japanese lanterns, for example. A remarkable plant. It has flowers like jade and rose miniature chandeliers. It is remarkable because of its terrific will to live. Pinch off a leaf and it will grow; even when pinned to a curtain and left alone without water or a crumb of soil for weeks. Even a cut off bloom will sprout roots in water or in soil. Very few blooms on this continent do that. Enterprising managers of gift shops and 5-and-10-tens sell those miraculous leaves of Japanese lantern to the winter tourist at ten cents a leaf, neatly wrapped in cellophane. But those same tourists would not take the trouble of picking up the whole plant from a vacant lot, because: "It's nothing. It grows wild." But everything grows wild until people start cultivating it. Remember Shasta daisy? It was just a lowly weed until Luther Burbank took pity on it and turned it into a fashionable flower. You, yourself grew wild, until your parents gave you an education and manners. Still, even from childhood, you were probably a very charming boy or girl. Do not despise things which "just grow wild." Stop occasionally for a wild thing and add some culture to it. It may be a flower. It may be an urchin.
