Coral Gables Woman's Club Reviews May Pastels; Set April Acting

The Coral Gables Woman's Club "Month of March" might have come in like a busy little lamb what with weekly programs, board meetings, and numerous other activities, but it certainly went out like a gala May Day last Thursday when its members honored the State Officers and visiting Clubwomen at a garden tea in conjunction with the Juniors. Festive umbrellas and tables were spread around the terrace where punch was served by Mrs. Chas. Webber and inside in the spacious club rooms individual tables were decorated with strictly South Florida flora in keeping with an idea of Mrs. Howard Sullivan, tea chairman. Mrs. George Huey and Mrs. Earl White spent a very busy morning adorning the club rooms and tables with such exotic flowers and plants as Cat Claws, Utilus, Pedilanthus, giant pink Begonias, sprays of ripened Bananas, Spanish Moss, Ginger Lily and leaves which lent themselves wonderfully well in a tall modernistic white vase. Mrs. D. H. Tuthill exhibited a replica "In the life" of the front of the Club's Cook Book with Mrs. Chas. Webber as the shell collection on display in the terrace. Lovely dresses, renewal of friendships and a general feeling of happiness and delight was manifested throughout the afternoon. April gets under way Monday with a brief business meeting at which time report of Nom. Com. will be given followed by the very popular Mrs. M. F. Wittichen speaking on "The First Americana". She will be introduced by Mrs. Wm. H. Ratterman, Chairman of Applied Education. Mrs. Wittichen is Chairman of Zone 7 of the Division of Indian Welfare G.F.W.C. A musical program has been arranged by Miss Margaret Phelan who will present Miss Virginia Marshall, soprano. Mrs. Marshall will be accompanied by Jack Barclay, violinist, and Miss Phelan at the piano. Her selection will be in keeping with the club's theme for the day. Mr. Barrett will also play a group of violin solos. At the conclusion of the entertainment Mrs. E. H. Padgett and her committee will serve refreshments.

Two Painters Will Exhibit At Blue Dome

The Blue Dome Gallery of the College Cupboard, 248 Giralda Ave., introduces on April 6th the work of two painters who have brought much credit to Miami as a center of art. Jesse Whitsit, painting companion of the late Ernest Lawson, is presenting a series of Miami landscapes. A vigorous treatment has combined with an analytical tonal sense to gain Whitsit recognition as being the local artist who has most successfully interpreted our atmosphere. Specializing in cloud effects, his paintings of the Florida sky once brought him the Miami Womens Club Award for the outstanding local artist of the year. Buna Vista Edwards, exhibiting companion of Whitsit, achieves her oil effects in the same manner, both artists using the pallete knife. Edwards has also brought acclaim to Miami, having won more prizes at the Annual Florida Federation of Art Exhibitions than any other local artist. In her exhibition the artist will present a varied assortment of landscapes in oil, portraits in pastel and oil, and a series of floral studies in tempera. A challenging boldness in execution and a sensitivity of conception makes Buna Vista Edwards distinctly a "Gallery Painter." The exhibition will continue until April 20th, and will be open to the public from 9 until 9.
