Gablesgrams by HELEN REYNOLDS

Black "date" dresses (uniform classic in every girl's wardrobe), big plaid skirts, plenty of sweaters and saddle shoes will fill the trunks of those girls going to college for the first time this fall. Come the sixth of September, when that special pulls out at 10 P. M., for Tallahassee, five Coral Gables girls, Susanne Bonner, Angellee Deas of Princeton, Ethel Dimmig, Margery Loomis and Frances Vandiver will be aboard turning their faces northward and to a new and different life. Ethel Dimmig, who lives with her mother and brothers at 515 Bird Road, really wanted to go to Iowa State, but her mother persuaded her to reconsider and not be so far away from home. Ethel will major in home economics, a subject in which she excelled at Ponce. She has made most of her own clothes for college, has a black crepe "date" dress, with which she will wear black accessories and a pearl heirloom lavalliere; many sweaters and skirts and a light blue and red plaid "reversible" with which she plans to wear luggage tan accessories. Ethel is an amateur skater, and says she will greatly miss that sport in Tallahassee. Frances Vandiver, who lives on LeJeune Road, will major in arts and sciences. Her "date" dress is also black crepe. Her pet outfit, however, is a striped black and grey wool suit with a black velvet jacket. A green and tan plaid topcoat is also among her new things, and she is especially looking forward to that "breakfast" a certain sorority will serve all Tally girls on their arrival and stay overtime in Jacksonville the morning of the seventh. Margery Loomis, daughter of the Harold L. Loomises of 4039 Ensenada Avenue, plans to major in English literature. Margery, who has beautiful copper-colored hair, swings away from the inevitable black "date" dress and has a brown velveteen for those auspicious occasions trimmed in Irish crochet. Margery says so many unimportant things had to be bought, like trunks, etc., but she did become enthused over a pair of green wool blankets, which will be part of her equipment. A blue corduroy peplum dress and a brown wool plaid suit, hat and shoes—oh, yes, and hats—lots of 'em—fill those new trunks. Three little girls, Ann Park, Janie Skagseth and Donna Winslow, like the "three little words," will be matriculating at Virginia Intermount College at Bristol, Va., and embarking for the Virginia-Tennessee town for the first time in their lives on the fourth of September. Ann, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Park, 234 Avenue Navarre, has a black crepe "date" dress. It is made with three-quarter-length sleeves, full skirt and little bows of the material at the tight waist. Ann's pet dress, however, is a stunning black wool suit with black velvet collar and lapels. With this she will wear a small black felt hat and veil. Another pet of Ann's is a three-piece red and brown tweed suit, with which she will wear brown accessories. Janie Skagseth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arne Skagseth, 1510 Granada Boulevard, is quite thrilled over this first adventure in higher learning. Janie expects to spend two years at Intermount Junior College, then two years at a fully accredited college, with home economics her goal. Her "date" dress is black velvet made with full skirt and white pique collar. She's quite fond of her new camel's hair coat, which does "double duty," that is, it may be worn as a lightweight, then its full quilted lining may be "zippered" into place for a "heavy." Janie says there are a couple of rules that are a little vexing, one is they must dress for dinner and they must wear "hose" to dinner and hats if they leave the campus. Donna, the third in this trio, plans to major in business and secretarial course at Intermount. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Philip K. Winslow, 3586 Avocado Avenue, and Mrs. Winslow plans to drive the girls up to Virginia. Donna is looking forward to riding horseback, a sport of which she is very fond, will take plenty of sweaters and skirts and a certain dress, a corduroy, Palm green, with which she will wear luggage tan accessories. Duke University gets seven of the Ponce grads, including four girls, Peggy Clark, Rosemary Hubbell, Barbara-jane Mayhew and Billie K. Thompson. Duke opens on the tenth and freshmen have to be there at least a day ahead. Rosemary, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willard H. Hubbell, Lisbon Street, is ready and waiting the day of departure. Her "date" dress is black velvet made with square cut yoke and trimmed in four large red velvet roses—one on the shoulder, the other three on the front of the very full skirt. Rosemary tells us Vogue and Mademoiselle, "the college girl's bible," helped solve the dress question—is especially proud that Ponce de Leon has the highest rating of boys and girls entering college in the county. Included among the singles is Zoya Dickins, daughter of Captain and Mrs. Randolph Dickins, of 1036 Obispo, who will enter Stuart School of Dress Designing in Washington, D. C., October 1. Zoya will live with her paternal grandmother, Mrs. A. M. Dickins, and aunt, Miss Virginia Dickins, in the United States capital, and is looking forward to her year there with a great deal of pleasure. Zoya says she is not buying many clothes now, for she will be making them all along—will learn the art of really draping materials; however, she has one new outfit, a three-piece brown tweed, with long topcoat. Her accessories with this will be brown, and her large-brimmed fur felt will have a long brown feather. Helene Zimmerman, the only girl going to Brenau College at Gainesville, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Zimmerman, 837 Avenue Navarre. Helene, who expects to major in speech, will leave the eighth of September. Her "date" dress is black crepe, the very first "black" dress she ever had. It is made with the new three-quarter length sleeves, has gold clips at the neck. Included in her wardrobe is a green plaid three-piece wool swagger coat outfit, with which she will wear luggage tan accessories. The largest group attending any one college is, of course, the ten young women who will matriculate at the University of Miami. Barbara Browne, who was voted the "best all-around girl" of her class, has done an all-around job with her wardrobe. One of her campus outfits is a dubonnet wool jersey two-piece suit, another a black and white checked jacket, made bustle effect, with a black velvet bow, with which she'll wear a black velveteen skirt. Her "date" dress is black crepe with lace col-

lar and pearls, and a very small hat. Barbara picked up most of her things while in Atlanta visiting recently. While there she was one of six bridesmaids at a cousin's wedding—wore a baby blue lace and net floor-length dress, shoulder length matching veil. She is the daughter of the D. B. Browne's, 918 Avenue Malaga, and will major in history-journalism. Mildred Andre and Betty Phillips, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Keith Phillips, are at this writing still vacationing in Black Mountain, N. C. However, summer clothes will be their choice for many months to come. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Andre, Mildred's parents, who deserted the Gables for Miami Beach last year, are moving back next week and will take a house on ElRado Street.

Mr. and Mrs. Renshaw Hosts Tonight With Alfresco Dinner at Beach Home

Miss Mary Catherine Heffernan, bride-elect of Claude B. Renshaw, will wear a white silk jersey sports outfit with navy blue fitted jacket to the alfresco dinner to be given tonight at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Claude A. Renshaw, parents of the bridegroom-to-be. Mr. and Mrs. Renshaw will entertain the bridal party and members of the two families at the last of the prenuptial affairs for this popular couple. Tables will be placed under colored lights strung in the patio and outdoor grille. Miss Virginia Regan, who will be the bridesmaid at the wedding, gave a spinster dinner Wednesday night at the Shelbourne Hotel, Miami Beach, for eight of Miss Heffernan's intimate friends. Miss Regan arrived Saturday and will remain a week after the wedding before returning to Chicago. Parties for Miss Heffernan filled the week. Mrs. George S. Swanson entertained about fifty guests at a tea yesterday afternoon at her home, 900 Coral Way. Mrs. Denis Renshaw complimented the bride-to-be with a large bridge-luncheon Wednesday at her home, 3202 Alhambra Circle. Mrs. Paul Brick's bridge party Monday and Mr. and Mrs. James W. Kennedy's dinner Tuesday night were other parties. The wedding of Miss Heffernan and Mr. Renshaw will take place at 5 P. M. tomorrow.

Mrs. Githens Tells AAUW Members About Strange Ways of the Zulus

From Amanzimtoti River to Miami River is the distance between South Africa and North America, but Mrs. Vida S. Githens says that both words mean "sweet water." Mrs. Githens told the members of the AAUW, in session Monday at the home of Mrs. S. J. Mattocks, 511 Cadima Avenue, that the Amanzimtoti School, near Durban, on the east coast of South Africa, was established in 1835, and she was only one of a long line of teachers who have brought "white ways" to the Zulus who come to the school. They are eager for education, according to Mrs. Githens, but 25 per cent of the Zulus are unable to take advantage of any schooling. From the fourth grade up, all teaching is done in English, but the Zulu youths will master Latin and French, as well as English when they are given the opportunity. To Mrs. Githens, the natives gave the Zulu name of "beloved," but the highest possible respect, she says, is paid by the Zulu term for "grandmother," because of their reverence for older people. Consequently, the Zulu word for God, if translated literally, is "Grandmother." Mrs. Githens, after spending seven years in South Africa, is now residing in Coral Gables, and is secretary to the pastor of the Congregational Church of Coral Gables. About twenty members of the AAUW attended the general meeting. Miss Millicent Mattocks assisted her mother in receiving. A buffet luncheon was served preceding Mrs. Githens' talk on "Zulu Homes."

Underprivileged Girls Enjoy Day's Camp at Snapper Creek

Girls over ten years of age in the American Children's Home, 2900 S. W. 17th Street, were guests last Wednesday of the YWCA Girl Reserves, who are spending the week camping at Snapper Creek. The event was planned by Dade County Community Chest in a summer promotion for co-operative participation between Chest agencies, especially in programs of health and recreation. Mrs. George Mitchell, recreational chairman of the home board of directors, accepted the invitation and designated those girls who might go on the all-day jaunt. Mrs. Julia McClain, 220 Avenue Sarto, younger girls' secretary of the YMCA, furnished transportation in the Y station wagon. The guests arrived at the camp in time for a morning swim in the pool, some boating and canoeing and games. For luncheon each girl had her special hostess to see that she enjoyed herself properly. A birthday cake appeared in celebration of the fourteenth birthday of Alice Van Dyke, a Girl Reserve. Assembly following luncheon was planned for the special enjoyment of the guests, after which the station wagon returned the girls to the American Children's Home. Mrs. L. R. Hisey, president of the board of directors, reports that all the thirty-one boys and girls in the American Children's Home have had medical examinations, dental work, T.B. tests, and all the summer "going-overs" that are necessary in institutional care.
