American and British Share in Woman's Club Party

The American and English aviation cadets who were the guests of the Coral Gables Woman's Club were enthusiastic over the welcome and entertainment provided by the International Relations Committee under the leadership of Mrs. Osborn Peabody Rogers. The affair was held at the Club House Sunday afternoon. There were a few serious solemn minutes when the news of the bombing of Hawaii by the Japanese trickled through the gathering. The opening number "God Bless America" was sung with a deeper note of entreaty, to be instantly followed with "There will always be an England" led by booming English voices in which all present joined. The singing was led by Mrs. Clyde Higgins, accompanied by Mrs. Mollie Clarkson. The "Three Jacks", Kitchen, Blanding and Murphy, in martial array, did some very creditable tap dancing, and then followed by the "Two Jacks", Kitchen and Murphy in a comic dance called the "Florida Crackers". The high-light of the entertainment was the ballet offering. The "Danse Gracieuse executed by Kitty Stanbury was grace and poetry combined. Harriet Rogers in "Silvertone" was a highly artistic portrayal, and then Miss Stanbury and Miss Rogers were seen in a pas de deux, a delightful close to this part of the program. The decorations were red, white and blue, with flags of America and Great Britain centered. The two large tea tables were brave with silver, lace and flowers, and laden with delectable food, the latter especially appealing to the guests. Mrs. Charles J. Lustong, president of the club; Mrs. Evan D. Roser, past president; Mrs. George Corrigan, first vice-president; Mrs. Milton Garris, chairman Coral Gables Committee for entertainment of cadets; Mrs. Sidney Moore, Mrs. Howard Sullivan, Mrs. Frank W. Cady, and Mrs. Clarence Wadsworth Francis were among those who presided or assisted with the serving of refreshments. Other members of the International Relations Committee acted as hostess, Mrs. Stuart Thomas, Mrs. William Fuller, Mrs. E. E. McCarty, Mrs. I. W. England, L. M. Garfunkle, Mrs. G. E. R. Williams, Mrs. E. H. Saunders, assisted by Mrs. Ida Stone Walker, and Mrs Everett E. Cady. The Tea Dance followed.
