Coral Gables Riviera

Gablesgram

by HELEN REYNOLDS If we followed the weather and wore upon our backs what the heat wave dictated, we would never have use for the beautiful new dark clothes that look so cool and inviting in the shop windows. But October has a magic way of compelling us to don the new things, and on Tuesday at the Miami Biltmore Country Club many bridge devotees appeared in new fall outfits for the regular weekly party. Mrs. J. J. Wollendorf, who is oftimes a winner in major bridge tournaments, plays mahjong equally as well and who excels in all sports of this nature, was a winner in looks at the party in a new two-toned navy rayon crepe, the boat-line finished with a double row of scallops. With this she wore black accessories. Mrs. Paul D. McGarry, also at the party, wears a new fall outfit of navy blue sheer with dainty white scalloped collar and cuffs finished the sleeves that is most attractive. Her accessories with this dress are white. Mrs. Otto C. Ellison, who has just returned from a summer vacation in Arizona and the far west, wore a new tropical red and white print, white costume jewelry and white cloche. Mrs. Coulton Skinner wore one of the new colors called "hot house red" blouses, so becoming to her coloring and hair. Mrs. Theodore Reducka was in all white, as was Mrs. Garfield Miller. Mrs. Gilbert Chaplin and Mrs. J. H. Metcalf won the prizes. There were three tables in play. * * * Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Beebe, 534 Avenue Sevilla, returned Saturday in time to prepare for the tropical disturbance they had so hoped to evade by their three-months' trip to the far west. They traveled 11,000 miles and visited former haunts, including the Yosemite Valley and other national parks—had lots of fun looking up the "eating and sleeping" places Duncan Hines tells about in his best seller, "Adventures in Good Eating." ... Mrs. S. Earnest Philpitt, also just returned, did a spot of traveling this summer, visiting in Highlands, N. C., Asheville, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, Pa., spent a day with the C. C. Devery's, widow residents of the Gables, at their summer home in Johnstown, and had a thrill riding through the new seven-mountain tunnel in the Pennsylvania Hills. * * * Little Miss Elizabeth Peck decided to come to town on her daddy's birthday, so from now on, September 25 will be a double anniversary in the Jordan B. Peck household. Elizabeth will be called "Elizabeth" not Beth or Liz or Lib, her mother hopes, and we can't blame her for shelling the nickname—Elizabeth is a beautiful name ... Another September daughter is Sandra Susan Humm, baby daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold J. Humm of 109 Avenue Camilo, who was born on the 26th at Duke Hospital, Durham, N. C. Mrs. Humm is the former Olga Minor. * * * Mrs. John V. Hardeman and Miss Dora Thomas complimented Mrs. Jess Carver, recent bride, with a miscellaneous shower Wednesday afternoon at the Country Club of Coral Gables. Guests included 25 golfing friends of the honor guest, who was the former Mrs. Grace LeRow of Chicago and Coral Gables. From her hostesses, Mrs. Carver received a pair of antique Chinese vases which were purchased right here in Coral Gables at the Chinese Shop in the Venetian Pools. The vases, about 6 inches in height, measure about 20 inches in diameter, and have the pure Chinese yellows and blues so difficult to duplicate today. * * * Mrs. Wade Livingston Street, regent, and members of the Coral Gables Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, will celebrate the thirteenth birthday anniversary of the founding of the chapter with a party at Mrs. Street's home, Bird Villa, Monday, October 20. A patriotic theme in decorations will be used. Mrs. Philip Montanus, senior regent, will cut the cake. Pouring will be former regents Mrs. George W. Wood, Miss Helen Grace Warner, Mrs. Richard F. Giersch, Jr., and Mrs. Charles B. Stearns. Many distinguished guests will be present, including civic and club leaders, for this annual party opens the fall activities of the chapter. * * * Dr. Robert Crandall of 625 North Greenway Drive, has been called into active service and will leave this week for Jackson, near Columbia, S. C., where he will have the rank of captain. The Crandalls have leased their home, which they very recently remodeled extensively, to Mrs. Julia Echols of Arkansas, who, with her two daughters, will arrive soon to take possession. Mrs. Crandall and children have leased an apartment at 1249 Southwest Seventeenth Terrace, and Robert, Jr., has entered Coral Way School. Thus "defense" separates another family. * * * Mrs. W. O. Hodgdon, 3629 Harlano Street, writes from Winnetka, Ill., where she has been visiting relatives and seeing her grandchildren, of attending parties at the North Shore Country and Westmoreland clubs in Chicago, of visiting in Aurora and Joliet ... Mrs. Mazie Taylor of 1306 Avenue Castile is homeward bound, she writes from Dallas, Texas, where she has summered, with side trips to Mexico City and Colorado Springs. She'll be home only for a short stay, then off to New York for a month. ... Mrs. Charles Kelly, immediate past president of Town and Gown, postcards from South Orange, N. J., where, there, and on Long Island, she has spent the fall ... Mrs. Clarence Wadsworth Francis postcards from Watkins Glen, N. Y., she'll be away another month visiting in Syracuse and New York.

Mrs. Stoutenburg, Mrs. Buzzell Attend American Legion Convention

Editor's Note: Following is an account of the highlights of the recent American Legion convention as viewed by Mrs. E. L. Stoutenburg and Mrs. A. L. Buzzell of the department of Florida and members of the local Lindley De Garmo Post No. 70, American Legion Auxiliary. Milwaukee, Wis., has just been host to the greatest patriotic cross-section of America—the American Legion in the most outstanding conventions of the American Legion and its auxiliary. Not only Legion and auxiliary members, but friends of the Legion and auxiliary as well will be interested in the highlights of the convention and Florida's part in it. First of all, Florida was one of the big ten this year, both Legion and auxiliary being in that group of the ten highest departments in percentage of membership. It won for us the second-row center in the auditorium where our sessions were held, and for the Legion the second section and in the parade Florida where the Legion sessions convened. And in the parade Florida was seventh in line of march. The housing situation was hardly adequate in Milwaukee, but what they lacked in that score was more than made up in their hospitality. From their handsome young blond mayor down to the chairmen of the very least activity, every one was striving to make us have a grand time in their city. Their efforts were rewarded, for we did have a wonderful time and were reluctant to leave. The auxiliary had a most ideal place for their meetings, the large auditorium of the immense Milwaukee Vocational School. The setting of the platform was most impressive. Midnight blue velvet curtains across the entire back with the American flags and emblem flags of our 52 departments grouped in front of curtain, and then a large shining "service star of blue" suspended above the flags. It seemed to us that the dark curtain represented the darkness of war and that above it all there shines the service star of the blue, the emblem of the American Legion Auxiliary. Forgetfulness of self and service to God and country seemed to be the keynote of this convention. We never wanted to miss one little part of the business sessions, as we never knew just when we would hear an inspiring message from one of our distinguished guests, among whom were Bertita Harding, author of "Phantom Crown" and other books based on Latin-American culture and history. She talked to us on the Latin-American countries and what they had to offer for vacationists to our neighboring countries. The Hon. Josephus Daniels, the American Ambassador to Mexico, brought greetings to the convention. He was escorted to the platform by a group of pages, each carrying the flag of one of the Latin-American countries. Another distinguished guest was Rose Hildebrand, who spoke to us about war-time England. Mrs. Hildebrand has become familiar to millions of Americans during the past few has been in the United States. She speaks every Sunday from Station WLW in Cincinnati. Hedda Hopper, the movie actress, kept us in laughter for a few minutes, making us forget for the moment the serious business at hand. "States Dinner" was the most outstanding social event of the convention. Eighteen hundred attended, representing national officers, past national officers, delegates and distinguished guests of the Legion and auxiliary. Joe E. Brown was master of ceremonies. He said "too many people who have forgotten how to laugh come in to see their hands. That is why we have this terrible word War on our lips. If we'd only try to laugh and understand our neighbors, there would be no war. That's why my business, trying to make people laugh, is the grandest in the world." The poppy poster entered by the Florida unit (this poster having won the state prize in the elementary group) won the national prize in this group. Florida was also complimented for having the most outstanding service program in its library extension work with the University of Florida, providing travelling books for the schools that do not have access to a public library. In camping and the emergency voluntary service work, in joint operation with the Red Cross, the United Service Organization and the Civilian Defense Council. The national chairman reported that new as this committee is, there had been a total of 1,127,438 hours spent in the emergency work by 17,815 workers. This was tabulated from the incomplete reports from 48 departments. Just as an example of what Florida is doing in this line, here is the total report of six American Legion auxiliary units in Dade County for the past five months: Two hundred and eighty-eight women spent 8,408 hours sewing and knitting 1,815 garments. Two hundred and fifty-six women spent 3,498 hours making surgical dressings and studying the different courses given by the Red Cross. One of the past department presidents of Florida, Mrs. Hal Whitehead of Tampa, was elected Le Chapeau (National President of the Eight and Forty). This is indeed a great honor for the department of Florida.

Girl Scouts Learn About Foreign Foods From Vernon Hill at Tanners

"But, I am not a Girl Scout' and so I am not supposed to smile" said Vernon Hill, manager of Tanner and Tanner grocery store on Ponce de Leon Boulevard. Mr. Hill was surrounded by Girl Scouts, 22 of ten plus three leaders last Thursday, all eager to learn about foreign foods carried in the store and the most question was, "how to spell the name of the island where papaya comes from in the Hawaiian group." The girls represented the second class activities of Troop 14, under the captaincy of Mrs. W. G. T. Long and the "International" tour was made right in Coral Gables. The Scouts visited the Wizend Gift Shop, Post Office Gift Shop, Bailey's Department Store and Tanner's. They were cordially received in all of the stores and were personally conducted through.
