BY HELEN REYNOLDS. Mrs. M. Lewis Hall honored her mother and house guest, Mrs. F. L. Dawson, of Elsberry, Mo., and Mrs. Lucille Yow of New York at a "quail" luncheon Tuesday at her North Greenway Drive home. There were eight guests. Mrs. Yow is a sister and house guest of Mrs. Charles M. Moon of Brickel Avenue ... Mrs. Hall, who did such a swell job of managing entertainment for the governor's wives, during the recent southeastern states Miami conference of governors, feels amply repaid for her and her committee's efforts, in the glowing thank you letters she has received. "They write with one accord," says Mrs. Hall, "of the grand time had by all down here and that now the governors are getting down to work on the four point plan as stressed at the conference-Hemispheric Solidarity-South and National Defense-All out for Civilian Defense and the South's Industrial Economy." * * * Does any one have a portable electric sewing machine they would like to lend the ladies of the First Presbyterian Church for their Tuesday Red Cross Sewing? Mrs. Hewett Brown, chairman of this enthusiastic group and proud of its record, which grew from an attendance of 6 to 47 in three weeks' time, will be glad to call for the machine or machines, they can use several. Any woman, winter-visitor, or guest who wishes to sew for the Red Cross is welcome at these all day, 10 to 4, Tuesday meetings. Coffee or hot soup is served at noon. Results of Tuesday's meeting was 53 finished garments for the Red Cross. * * * "Wouldn't it be grand," says Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, famous Miami novelist, "if we could get the housewives to demand fruits and vegetables grown in Dade County," when they go to the markets to buy. 'In that way," continues Mrs. Douglas, now giving most of her time and talents to Defense Council work, "we could create a home market of sufficient size and dependability to make south Floridians independent of any northern markets." Right now, in our own Coral Gables markets we can buy Dade County raised celery, tomatoes, carrots, beans (string and lima), lettuce, cabbage, eggplant, turnips, beets, in the vegetable line; oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, papayas and avocadoes in the fruits. * * * Speaking of growing lima beans in Dade County, the J. Wylly Kecks of 2520 San Domingo, served fresh lima beans right out of their own garden to ten guests at dinner the other night. Most every kind of vegetable has been the unexpected growing good luck of Mr. Keck and Wylly, Jr., who spend most of their week end holiday in this, their first venture at a kitchen garden ... Mrs. Keck's mother, Mrs. W. G. Russell, of Waco, Texas, who is their house guest at present, will be honored today by Mrs. J. B. Hiers, Jr., at a mother-daughter luncheon for about 20 guests. * * * Mrs. Lillian Patton DeLong and her daughters, Betty and Catherine Louise DeLong entertained about 100 of the social contingent last night at a theatre and cocktail party honoring Dr. and Mrs. Louis K. Manley. Mrs. DeLong reserved the entire house for the Fifteen's "The Philadelphia Story", starring Barbara Parmley. Mrs. DeLong, handsome in white crepe with gold accessories, greeted guests after the final curtain in the patio where cocktails were served. Betty was in blue silk with cerise trim. Catherine Louise wore an imported model of shrimp silk taffeta. Mrs. Manley was in white lace-all wore orchids. * * * Walter V. Morrow of Segovia Circle, will return today from a four day business trip by air to Havana ... Miss Louise DeJarnette, student in Florida State College for Women will spend the mid-term vacation with her maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Hiram L. Gardner of Edonfan, Ga., returning Tuesday to Tallahassee ... Mr. and Mrs. Ledyard DeWees are in Montgomery, Ala., for a week's stay. * * * Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Luce of Minneapolis and Miami Beach, honored several Coral Gableites, Mr. and Mrs. W. Scott Deming, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Gleason, Dr. and Mrs. Donald G. Culp, at the dinner party for 24 Sunday night at the Miami Biltmore Hotel. Cocktails served in the foyer entrance to the Giralda dining room preceded the dinner. * * * Judge David K. Heffernan, who is a real bicyclist (been riding for three years) was proudly displaying a defense bond of large denomination to a group at City Hall where he had cycled the other day and telling how he used the second prize money he received for his Christmas display towards the purchase of the bond. * * * Mrs. John E. Norman who yearly chairmans the complimentary to the press breakfast of the Miami Branch, National League of American Pen Women presented a very unusually fine program Friday at the League's annual party. She presented Dr. Enrique Noble (pronounced Noblay) exchange professor of Pan-American studies at the University of Miami, who gave a dynamic talk on affairs in the South American countries as affects the North American continent. Dr. Noble had his audience in laughter, almost in tears-and in "fears" on the edge of their chairs most of the time. Mrs. Norman who ably handles publicity for the local league is Fourth National Vice President of the League. * * * Mary Greene, talented member of the Theatre of the Fifteen returned to the Gables this week and will join the repertoire company, taking the leading feminine role in next week's production, 'The Man Who Came To Dinner" starring James Crow. Miss Greene has been in Pasadena for several weeks, where she was called because of the illness of her mother. * * * Hoping for a touch of real winter weather and a little country life, H. M. Mattox has leased his home at 1264 Coral Way and returned this week to Lake City for several month's stay. Mr. Mattox calls himself a real cracker Floridian. His father came to Florida in 1844, owned and settled most of the land around Lake City. Mr. Mattox has known folks and been in homes like those described in The Yearling, story of Florida scrub land. * * * "Friends" official house organ of the Chevrolet Automobile Company features a double page spread of Ponce de Leon High school in its February issue. The pictures made on the campus are filled with action shots of students in and out of the school.
