by HELEN REYNOLDS Would you like to know how to make an English fluff? It's easy and it's not something to eat, although it looks good enough to eat when finished. A fluff is a piece of gauze, 36 inches square, so deftly folded and swirled that air packed in while making, makes the finished "fluff" (a surgical dressing) a dainty thing to behold. These, and bandages too, are being made at the Red Cross surgical dressing unit in the Deigaard Building, daily, by an average of 25 workers. Mrs. John V. Campbell (we are sure the V stands for victory) of 1701 Country Club Prado, chairman of the unit,is very every day, six days a week, proud of her workers, her supervisors and proud of attendance records like Mrs. Martha L. Murray and her sister, Mrs. John Stark of Goffstown, New Hampshire, pictured right, Pilkington Photo, who manage about three days a week at the unit, rolling bandages and making fluffs. Mrs. Stark and her husband are spending their annual Florida season as guests of Mrs. Murray, 909 Avenue Algarindo, where with their sock and sweater knitting, Mrs. Murray and Mrs. Stark are doing their bit. Home after a 3,000 mile motor trip to San Antonio, Texas to visit and spend Christmas with her kinsfolk, is Mrs. Linn C. Olson and Mr. Olson, of 1000 Cortez Street. It was Mrs. Olson's first visit home in 18 years... Mr. and Mrs. James N. Ammen also returned Saturday from a month's stay in Washington and Maryland. They spent Christmas Day with Mrs. Ammen's brother, Col. Paul H. Morris, stationed at Front Royal, Virginia. Eagerly anticipated by the members of the Century Club and their guests will be the appearance of Mary Hughes Call, distinguished pianist who will be guests artist with the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra at the club's first evening meeting, January 29th at the Miami Biltmore Hotel. Mrs. Call will be the guests of her father, Century Club's president and founder, Mr. George A. Hughes and Mrs. Hughes of 1400 South Greenway Drive while here. Each year the Theatre of the Fifteen have been in Coral Gables, many people have entreated them to open a school of the theatre. This season they are complying with the requests and are announcing the beginning of all sorts of interesting classes. There will be the study and technique of the stage, voice and diction, etc. Classes will be held in the afternoon to accomodate highschool and college students. Does anyone know where Bermuda baskets for bicycles are sold? ... Several requests have come to this desk from those ambitious young Coral Gables matrons who have taken to bicycle riding to do their marketing. The Bermuda baskets are woven of raffia or straw and are very good-looking, durable and never "rattle". Bicycles may soon be the most popular vehicle. Already riding and enjoying the sport are Mr. and Mrs. Victor C. Ewing who, incidentally, gave each other bicycles for Chrsitmas ... Mrs. John A. Gautier often rides her youngest little girl to school and back on her "handlebars" (everyone marvels (you know she does publicity for half dozen clubs) in addition to her many tasks! So... Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. White have been cycle enthusiasts for several years-take long rides ten, twenty miles at a hitch... Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Stief have matching bikes... Mr. and Mrs D. R. Smith... Mr. and Mrs. Ralph L. Wilkins... and now we hear a new kind of tandem is on the market, on which the bicyclists ride side by side. Every Tuesday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. finds the women of the First Presbyterian Church, under the direction of Mrs Hewitt Brown, sewing for the Red Cross, making gowns, dresses in the parish house. At ten o'clock they stop their work, join the woman's prayer hour, in the church, pause at noon for sandwiches and coffee. Mrs. John E. Norman will be chairman of the day for the Pan-American Day Musical breakfast, honoring the press, Wednesday at the Miami Biltmore Hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Freeman, accompanied by their twin daughters, Carolyn and Betty Lewis, left Saturday for Macon, Ga., where the twins will resume their studies at Wesleyan College. Mrs. Freeman will return to New York to continue her work with the Town Hall Lecture Bureau. Mrs. John Herndon, Mrs. Freeman's mother of Greenville, S.C., who has been spending the winter in Orlando, will be a guest in the Freeman home, 1203 Ferdinand Street for the next several months ... Mr. and Mrs. George C. Westervelt of 1014 Hardee Road are guests at the Vanderbilt Hotel while in New York City ... Miss Evelyn Smith has returned to her Columbus, Ga. home after spending her annual Christmas holiday with Mrs. T. L. Ingram of Segovia Circle. Additions to Coral Gables are noted with the arrival Monday of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer J. White and their five children of Salisbury, Md. Mr. White is a civil engineer engaged for the building of the new causeway. The Whites have taken a house at 422 Avenue Giralda. The children all entered the Coral Gables Elementary school. They are Betty Jane, Billy, Bobby, Elmer James and Glen Martin. Highlight of the Albert H. Gleason cocktail party and supper Sunday evening was commodore William Hawthorne Snyder's reading of his original toast to the flag. Delivered just after the assembled 300 guests pledged allegiance to the flag, it proceeded Mrs. Wade Lavingston Miller's singing of "God Bless America". We asked Commodore Snyder for a copy of his very timely toast, which we are passing on to you... TOAST TO THE FLAG Here's to your flag-and my Flag- As it flies today, O'er your land and my land- And many miles away. We have learned to love it, For the Freedom for which it stands; And may we not deface it With the greed of human hands. With all the Flags that are flying, Over the land and sea, There's none that means so much to us, As our Flag of Liberty. It's your Flag-and my Flag- And may it bring us cheer, As we watch it guide us Throughout this coming year. So let's drink a toast to this Flag, my friends, Though it may bring us sleepless nights, Here's to the good old U.S.A., With its STARS and STRIPES. Dr. and Mrs. Charles H. Leslie of Glendale, Mo. have returned for their third winter and are house guests of Commissioner Wallace Bell of 1115 Obispo Avenue Dr. Leslie, incidentally, is the mayor of Glendale.

We can't "go around the war" out must "go through it", concluded Dr. Russ Williams, Monday, in speaking on "Americanism" to members and guests of the Coral Gables Woman's Club on the occasion of their regular program and tea.
