Gablesgrams
by HELEN REYNOLDS August is going out like the proverbial lion and a social lion at that, for two wedding parties are scheduled for the last Saturday in the month at the Country Club of Coral Gables, topped by Pi Phi's annual summer dance, always a sell-out. The Country Club staff will be up bright and early on the 30th, for at 9:30 the first of the wedding breakfasts for 40 guests will take place; that following the wedding of Ann Frances Lenahan and George Robert McChesney at 8 A. M. at St. Peter and St. Paul's Catholic Church; then the wedding feast following the nuptials of Miss Frances Pearson and Dr. James E. Lyons at 9:30 at the Church of the Little Flower. With the aura of two wedding parties hanging about its rafters, the club will play host to the members of Pi Beta Phi sorority and their friends, who will stage their annual dance, along about 10 P. M. Complimenting her house guest, Miss Lee Hard of Springfield, Ill., Mrs. Smith Dimmig will entertain at a spaghetti supper tonight at her attractive Bird Road home. Later the guests, numbering eight, will go to the Ice Revue, now in progress at the Ice Palace, in which Miss Ethel Dimmig, a finished skater, has a part. Miss Hard will leave for her home Sunday after a week's visit. * * * Newcomers to Coral Gables are Captain and Mrs. D. S. Harrell and young son, who have leased the residence at 735 Avenue Escobar for a year; also Mrs. John Matthews and daughters, Joanne and Lida, formerly of Cincinnati, Ohio, who have leased the residence at 1235 Aragon Avenue, through Lyle Palmer Lanman, broker. Captain Harrell is a senior pilot with Pan American Airways—came here from Rio. Both Miss Joanne and Lida Matthews will enter Ponce de Leon High School. * * * Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Merriam, Bill, Jr., and Betty Lou have returned from a month's stay at Vincent's Ranch, N. C. Mrs. Merriam says, "It was like old home week at the ranch," for the Albert Gleasons were leaving just as they arrived; they played bridge nightly with the Henry Morgenthauers, spending the summer there; were all over the Blue Ridge Mountains in Mrs. Patrick J. Cesarano's new Cadillac car with the convertible top, OPEN, and renewed acquaintances with Mrs. James Wells, formerly of Coral Gables, now of Wilmington, N. C., who was spending ten days at the ranch; visited the Willoughby Coxes and the L. D. Pankeys in Waynesville and the Wiley Sams and Ralph Wilkinses in Balsam. * * * It was a doggy party Monday at the home of Mrs. Alexander F. Ross, 520 Avenue Alcazar, when she entertained eight pooches and their mistresses in the interests of the Greater Miami Humane Society's fight for existence. Mrs. Hiss served dog biscuit to the canine and "dog bones," a pastry concoction especially prepared by "Leon" of Leon's Bakery for the occasion, to her guests. Incidentally, Mrs. Hiss's dachshund is called Tock, but then his mistress is Ticks to her husband and intimates. Guests were mostly members of the Wednesday Red Cross Knitting group. * * * Miss Elizabeth Henderson is in North Adams, Mass. and will go to Oberlin for a visit. . . . Wallace Bell, City Commissioner, is in St. Louis, his former home, visiting relatives; incidentally, seeing the new grandchildren for the first time . . . the Keith Phillips family are vacationing in Black Mountain, N. C. . . . Mrs. Andrew Healy is spending a month in the North Carolina mountains. * * * Mr. and Mrs. S. Earl Giffen have returned from Waynesville and Blowing Rock, where they spent five months, and Mrs. Giffen is busy helping her son, Russell Campbell, select his wardrobe for his first year at Duke University. Mrs. Giffen said, "Carol is on a business and buying trip to Atlanta. . . . Carroll S. Daniels of Daniels' Store, has joined his family for a two or three-weeks' vacation at Hendersonville, N. C. * * * Letters from Mrs. Lillian Patton DeLong, summering in Hendersonville, N. C., from Virginia Beach, Va., where, with her two daughters, Miss Catherine Louise and Miss Betty DeLong, she is spending a fortnight at the swank Cavalier Hotel, listening to the music of Ina Ray Hutton, enjoying the horseback riding and watching the army planes maneuver overhead. . . . From Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. White, enjoying their farm place in Maryland and "canning" everything from fresh lima beans to golden fried chicken from their own gardens, as suggested by the government as a defense measure. Incidentally, they have as their guest David Batcheller of Coral Gables, who writes his mother, Mrs. George Batcheller: "This is a nifty place." . . . from Mrs. Helen Dio from Black Mountain, who is spending many months with her son-in-law and daughter, the Don Peabodys, at their mountain cabin, that Mr. Peabody is much improved in health. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Harold D. Ward of 3319 Anderson Road have sold their attractive Colonial cottage to Mr. and Mrs. George Bowen Arnold, who, with their two sons, will take possession about the 15th of September. Mr. and Mrs. Ward will live at the Venetia for the present and are a little undecided just what they will do—have a yen to buy some acreage and build a country place. Mr. Arnold is with Intercontinent Aircraft Corporation. * * * Major and Mrs. E. Morgan Jones have created a three-ring circus for their special entertainment right in their own back yard at 38 Avenue Phoenitia. Building a simple flat-surfaced feeding table about three feet high plus a bird bath, they daily watch woodpeckers, mockers, thrushes, scarlet tanagers, blackbirds and quail perform. They are especially fond of the quail and feel they are the descendants of the tame birds that roamed the Douglas Road area when Mrs. Jones lived there 22 years ago. They like to watch the smart blackbirds "dunk" their dry bread crusts in water. * * * Mrs. H. S. Hart of 2802 Columbus Boulevard, believes it's just the August heat that made her plans for a Red Cross Canteen Course of instructions go astray. Securing the bright and sunny new rooms at the Methodist Church parish house for the place of meeting, Mrs. Hart also secured seven or eight names of prospectives then found that most of her willing applicants had gone away on vacations. She'll be starting the classes soon, however, and everyone wishing to join is invited. The course will include instructions in nutrition and emergency canteen.

Mixed Grill Type Meal Proves Popular For Summer Menu
There are busy days ahead for your broiler during August and early September. So get it out, if by chance it has been used only occasionally, and plan to let it work for you during the summer days that still lie ahead. For both luncheon and breakfasts, the mixed grill type of meal is helpful to any cook who wants to make a speedy job of meal getting. For mixed grill of fruit, ham and tomatoes shown in the photograph above will require only a little more than 20 minutes to prepare—while the actual broiling is a cool, clean simple procedure if you've a mind on those boons for homemakers—gas and electric ranges. A single turning for the ham bundles, in fact, is all the attention the combination dinner requires, yet when the cooking is complete, the ham will be slightly sweet and crisp, the banana and pineapple within each roll hot and tender. Follow the directions that come with your electric range regarding the position of the door for broiling. But remember that for all electric broiling the unit should be a glowing cherry-red before the food, arranged on a cold broiler rack, is placed underneath the broiler itself. Do not worry about smoke, for the smokeless broiling features with which electric ranges are now equipped, protect the drippings from the direct heat so that broiling becomes practically smokeless. Moreover, there is no spattering and there is nothing to catch fire. The following recipe gives the directions for preparing this 20-minute grilled supper. As a salad, crisp coleslaw, and for dessert, Broiled Ham Bundles with hot rolls, dressed mixed greens, fresh limeade and cookies: Broiled Ham Bundles (Serves 6) 6 slices boiled ham 1 can pineapple 2 bananas Lemon juice 2 tablespoons butter Salt, pepper 2 tomatoes Melted butter Salt, pepper Have boiled ham sliced medium thick. Select bananas that are firm and that have green tips. Preheat broiler unit. Meanwhile prepare the Broiled Ham Bundles as follows: Peel and slice bananas in half lengthwise and dip in lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Place a pineapple spear between the two halves of half banana, wrap in a ham slice and secure with a toothpick. Cut tomatoes in half, brush with butter and season each half with salt, pepper and a few drops of lemon juice. Arrange on cold broiler rack. When broiler unit is a glowing red, insert broiler pan about 4 inches below unit. Broil 8 minutes with door ajar; then turn ham bundles and broil approximately 8 minutes on second side. Serve hot.
Mary Catherine Heffernan and Claude Downer Renshaw Will Wed August 30

Army Is Buying Florida Limes
Florida lime growers have found the Army Quartermaster Center at Jacksonville a liberal buyer during the past few weeks with every indication that lime purchases will increase, according to reports received by William L. Wilson, Director of State Markets, Sanford. The Jacksonville Quartermaster's Center secured the substitute of lime for lemon in the army menus in Florida when it was pointed out that this state produced limes and not lemons. The efforts of State Markets Director Wilson have been directed toward expanding markets for Florida produce, through bringing facts of this kind to the attention of proper authorities.

FLAGLER PLAYERS ENJOY NEW GAME
Many Gableites play daily on the Flagler golf course situated at the Flagler entrance to Coral Gables. Recently the players have enjoyed a new variance of the old Scotch foursome under the leadership of "Dad" Perry, pro at the club. Three shots are played by each pair on the team with the fourth, or "blind," shot played by the opposite member of the team. This shot or ball may lie in a trap, on the green or in the cup, and creates a pleasant variance of this popular game.
PARTIES FOR VISITORS
A round of parties have been scheduled for Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Tunis (Elizabeth Sudlow) since their arrival for a ten-day visit. With Mr. Tunis's sister, Miss Elizabeth Tunis, they spent the weekend, returning Tuesday, in Nassau. Miss Tunis remained for a longer stay on the island.

Built-in Garages Are Convenient
One of the objectives in planning a new home with an attached or built-in garage is to blend the garage into the mass of the house. Built-in garages, the Federal Housing Administration says, add to the livability of houses by increased convenience and ease of access to the automobile. The present practice of placing the garage as an integral part of the house also aids the trend to outdoor living, since large unbroken spaces can be provided in the rear for terraces, gardens and lawns. For economy a bedroom may
