FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1941 —THE CORAL GABLES RIVIERA— —PAGE 3—

Gablesgrams

by HELEN REYNOLDS. TWO things marked the annual May breakfast of the Coral Gables Senior and Junior Woman's Clubs Monday at the Miami Biltmore Country Club. First, the induction of 42 members of the junior club into the senior club; the very first time a "mass" class has graduated with honors. The second was the riot of colors in flowers, gowns, hats and decorations. Time was, when a woman's club member began planning her "all white" outfit days ahead of the first May Monday, for white it had to be. That was in the '20's. Mrs. Evan D. Roser, in fresh green and white spring frock presided. Mrs. Charles J. Susong prettier than any picture ever published of her, wore blue lace, veiled orchid hat. Mrs. G. G. Lee Jr., of the juniors, wore white jersey blouse, paisley skirt, large straw hat of red and green. Mrs. Dana McLendon, incoming junior president wore red print, large red straw with gardenia pinned on under brim. Everyone wore corsages it seemed, with the ones made of gardenias predominating. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Richey have sold their attractive home at 2908 Alhambra Circle to Clarence Schmeltzer of New York City and have taken an apartment in the Bronson Apartments, 901 East Ponce de Leon Boulevard. They will spend their summers as usual in Chicago . . . Mrs. C. A. Bowman of 822 Avenue Santiago left Wednesday for Cincinnati for a month's visit with her daughter, Mrs. Joseph Gantz and Miss Miriam Bowman on the staff of technicians on Berea College, Berea, Ky. . . . Dr. and Mrs. Robert English also left Wednesday for Norway, Maine to spend the summer. Mrs. Fred Vincent left Monday for Weaverville, N. C., where she will join Mr. Vincent, who preceded her about a month, in the management of "Vincent's Ranch". Mrs. Hawley Russell accompanied Mrs. Vincent and will, with cent reports many reservations for the balance of May in their mountain resort . . . Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Moak will leave in about a week for their summer place in Waynesville, N. C. They expect cercle to guests this summer, a sister from Portland, cousins from St. Louis and the Robin McGlohns (Betty Moak) from the West Coast for at least two months. Mr. and Mrs. John A. Gautier and their three young children will be mountain "retreaters" this season having leased the new Coppinger house in Waynesville for six weeks come the first of June. The E. C. Hodges also plan to occupy the Coppinger place during part of July and August. Mr. and Mrs. Coppinger, who winter in Miami Beach, like to go up for the month of May and again in September . . . Mrs. Hodge plans a series of two bridge luncheons later this month, the first to be given at the Country Club of Coral Gables, the second at the unique "Quarterdeck" club. Mr. and Mrs. Garfield Miller will leave this week end for Washington, D. C., where Mr. Miller will conduct business for about ten days. On their return they'll do the famous skyline drive and will visit their son, Lieut. Garfield Miller, Jr., temporarily stationed at Ft. Monroe, Va., where he is taking a ten week's course. Mrs. Kenneth Close of 638 Velarde Street and two children have gone to Tennessee where they will open their new home at Mount Eagle. Mr. Close will motor up before mid-summer. . . Mrs. William Rowse will also spend the summer with the Closes . . . Major and Mrs. Roy Evans will leave this week end for Camp Blandling and then visit Lt.-Col. W. McNcese. They may then go on to Charlestown, W. Va., for a visit. A letter from Mrs. O. A. (Gertrude) Sandquist came in Monday by airmail, in time for excerpts to be read at the May breakfast of the Woman's Club, because, as she said, "that is where my heart is today". Mrs. Sandquist's four page single spaced typewritten letter said in part, "I go each Friday with four women of the Civil Engineering Corps of the Navy and sew for the Red Cross. Then on Tuesday mornings we sew for the new babies of the sailors wives. Each one is presented with a complete layette." So you see I am trying to do my bit too. The Sandquists have moved into a house just vacated by Lieut. and Mrs. Al Fay who have been transferred to Key West. He is Public Works Officer. Mrs. Sandquist speaks about Norfolk being right in the midst of the summer resort world—it's but a few miles to Myrtle Beach, where they expect to drive for a visit with the Milton Chapmans; to Virginia Beach near Cavalier and a doctor for the South American Admirals, at the Cavalier Hotel, managed by Roland Eaton who married one of the Romfh girls of Miami. Commander Sandquist has been ordered to the staff of Admiral Beauregard for temporary duty to help entertain and guide the South American Admirals (the same ones who were in Miami May 3rd). Mr. and Mrs. Vivian Edwards, who have lived here for many years at 311 Avenue Camila write, that after spending the winter in New York City they are now in Houston, Texas for an indefinite stay. They also write that their younger son, Robert Edwards (Bob) has been appointed assistant instructor in Pathology at Northwestern Medical School in Chicago, being the only one accepted out of twenty applicants and the first to be entrusted with instructing the important subject of Foetal Respiration. Not many parents will have the thrill and pleasure of seeing three daughters pictured in the same college annual this spring, but just that thrill will happen to Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Drane when they open the annual of Brenau College, Gainesville. Their daughter, Wayne is this year's graduate, Lois and Jean who took some honors in tennis this season are undergraduates. By telephone Mrs. A. Beverly Kelly informs us, that, in a recent letter from England, she learns her brother-in-law, Frank Edward Foley was decorated by King George. The services took place at Buckingham Palace and the decoration, bestowed by the monarch was the Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George for services rendered at a foreign office.

New President Gives Timely Message As She Receives Gavel

In accepting the gavel of authority as newly elected president of the Coral Gables Woman's Club, Monday at the annual May breakfast, Mrs. Charles Susong spoke briefly but with much earnestness of the problems, which American women may undoubtedly have to face within the next few years. So timely was her address and so qualified is she to deliver it by reason of her active club and Red Cross work that we are printing it in full: "I accept this gavel with a humble spirit and a heart full of gratitude for your confidence in my ability to serve as your president. Please accept my assurance that my every effort will be to maintain and further the high standards and aims of the Coral Gables Woman's Club. Perhaps we all realize that problems may come this year which we never before have had to face. We do know that these next few years will be crucial ones in the lives of American women and there will be the need of Unity—unity of thought, purpose and action for only in unity will there be strength and we will need great strength for that task before us. "There must be a calmness of spirit coupled with real effort toward the preparedness to meet any emergency; we must keep our heads, continuing our normal way of life insofar as possible yet always on the alert; we must keep our hands busy, our thoughts loyal and our tongues guarded. The world of today has big ears and one thoughtless word might mean the loss of many American lives." Let us stop shouting our national weaknesses to the world and work as one for unified strength. "Abiding faith we must have, tolerance, hope for the future and a stanch courage to carry on come what may. We must also prepare for the re-adjustment to normal living when world chaos is over. "In closing, Mrs. Susong said that the title that goes with any task is meaningless unless it is well done but even the most menial task is dignified by creditable work cheerfully accomplished and she urged that all work together in this spirit. May Breakfast has become more than just an annual club affair with the Coral Gables Woman's Club. It has grown into an institution where old friends meet and new friends are made and this year with the specter of war hovering in the background the breakfast offset with beauty this uncertainty. Mrs. George Dacy and Mrs. Earl White were inspired when they produced tiny white flower-decked trellises with white doves to carry out the club theme of "good neighbor" policy. The speaker's table was surrounded on three sides by a low white picket fence flower entwined, with a red white and blue centerpiece, the work of Mrs. W. H. Malone who was for many years president of the Key West Garden Club. Mrs. Evan Roser the retiring president presided with her usual charm and manner. Hers has been a very busy and very happy term of office. Under her guidance the club has grown, as never before and there is a feeling of friendliness manifested throughout the membership which is a tribute to her leadership. She was presented with a lovely silver tea service by club members and also with a beautiful gift from the Junior Club. Some fifty juniors were transferred into the Senior club, receiving a yellow corsage while a "welcome-in" song was sung, composed by Mrs. Linn C. Olson These included Mrs. G. G. Lee, retiring junior president, and Mrs. Clyde Higgins who will take over the make chair with the senior club. Mrs. L. J. McCaffrey and Mrs. Sydney Weintraub were guests of honor, Mrs. Weintraub installing the new officers to serve under Mrs. Susong. One of the interesting points of the program came when Mrs. Ralph Engle presented the five students from Ponce De Leon High School who were winners of the poetry contest sponsored by the Coral Gables Woman's Club. These young people read their prize winning poems with not a trace of "mike-fright". Collins Hay, winner of the first prize read his "Thule" and "Banda Oriental" and George Anna Harbeson read her poem "Tears". With such a representation of youth we need not worry too much about the future of our American.
