Jelly beans and eggs it seems will be found in the fumiest places All dotted and spotted in lovely designs And some wearing comical faces, The party will be at the stroke of three, On April 13th Easter Sunday. Mr. Bunny expects you, in fact he elects you To join in the Country Club fun day. More than 200 children, daughters and sons of members of the Country Club of Coral Gables received the above invitation to the first annual Easter Egg Hunt, to be staged at the club.

With the most successfully staged show of their eight years experience behind them, members of the Coral Gables Junior Woman's Club, who played to a capacity house Saturday night at the Country Club, are looking forward to next year's production which probably will be staged at the Miami Biltmore. Saturday's weather "terror" was just a little more than that loyal hard working group could take, so they fell with patrons sitting in grand stand seats under cover, and cabaret on pool deck and stage, the weather made in the least of their worries. The show was fast moving, full of pretty girls and handsome men. There were a few hitches, such as a dead "mike" missed cues and the like all due to a last minute switch over from in-side to outside. We like to remember with what precision the "precision girls" did their routine, with never a miss. We'll always remember this year's show, but then, too, we'll never forget last year's production and Mrs. John (Speck) Gautier singing the teddy bear number with a teddy bear as big as she... We'll never forget the year, beautiful blonde Mrs. Robert Henderson did a take off of Sally Rand in a fan dance... nor the year Mrs. Malcolm McDonald did the "Little Old Lady Dressed in Blue" number with her chorus of "old" ladies in pantalettes and crinolines. Yes. We've seen eight cabarets. Miss Cary Hanson, bride-to-be of James A.

Junior League Installs Mrs. R. E. Rutledge President Hears New Chairmen Reports

At the annual meeting of the Junior League of Miami, Tuesday Mrs. Charles Baker jr. retiring president, touched the keynote of Junior League policy for 1941. "Summarizing the 14th year of the League's life" she said "It is necessary to go back to the Seattle conference where the pattern for the underlying theme of the League was cut. Every League went to that conference wiht the same question in their minds and on their lips. What must we, as a League, do towards the defense of our country, and aid to other countries? When we came away we knew that the Association had thought wisely and chosen well. What they advocated was the hard path. Since war was declared hundreds of organizations have sprung up to help the suffering that accompanies war. None denies that this is a fine thing. The danger lies in the fact that whether the war is in Europe or in our own land, there are always those in our own community who are desperately in need. Last year, we forgotten in the stress of the times, we were asked to concern ourselves with them as our first responsibility, and after that to go ahead, not as League members but as Americans, and work for war relief organizations." Turning the gavel over to Mrs. Richard E. Rutledge, the new president, she extended the wishes of the organization for a happy and successful year. Mrs. Rutledge then called on her chairmen for their reports. Mrs. Marion Salley, chairman of welfare, announced Mrs. Mrs. Charles Reakirt as her assistant. Mrs. Reakirt will have charge of all League member working volunteer community work, including maintenance of the rolling library at Jackson Memorial Hospital; work at the employment desk at the Y. W. C. A.; volunteers working with the Children's Service Bureau, the Family Service Bureau and the Catholic charities; work at the Lighthouse for the Blind; the Community Chest and other community agencies.
