The first will be at 1 p.m. tomorrow, when Mrs. Huntley will have five tables of bridge. Assisting will be Mrs. George Corrigan, Mrs. Frederick Grinham, Mrs. William T.

Mrs. Huntley's other two parties for March will be small teas, "cozy" Mrs. Huntley calls them, each assembling about 20 guests. * * * Speaking of the cozy tea parties, Mrs. J. H. Peebles entertained small groups at two parties Monday at her home, 621 Alhambra Circle. The morning party, an informal coffee and coke affair was for a small group to meet Mrs. Peebles' sister, Mrs. James Wesley Pickens down from Charlotte, N.C., with her adorable one year old son James Wesley, Jr. Mrs. Edgar Thrower of San Francisco, Miami winter visitor and Mrs. Pickens shared honors at the afternoon tea Mrs. Peebles gave for about thirty guests. More parties are being planned for the attractive Mrs. Pickens who will be here for about ten days. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Albert H. Gleason will entertain at dinner tonight at their Columbus Boulevard home honoring Mr. and Mrs. George A. Hughes of 1400 South Greenway Drive and Chicago. Mr. Hughes is president of the Century Club of Coral Gables. * * * David W. Ward, sportsman-uncle of Mrs. N. W. Frost is here from Pt. Myers for a few day's stay with Mrs. Frost and Miss Willie Jane Frost, 3407 Toledo Drive. The Frosts returned recently from a visit in Ft. Myers, where they attended a round of parties as guests of Mrs. Frost's aunts, Mrs. E. E. Stoup and Mrs. R. K. Coe. * * * Mrs. R. G.

Gravis formerly of Los Angeles, and two children, have leased the residence at 1126 Alhambra Circle. Capt. Gravis is with the Air Ferries, Inc. * * * Mrs. Frederick Glomb is in the possession of a small newspaper clipping that, the moment a bit of it appeared in a Philadelphia newspaper, was read by a friend, clipped and sent to Mr. Glomb in the ordnance department of the army at Charleston, S.C., then on to her. The clipping concerned the Glomb's son, Frederick F., then stationed at Chickasha, Okla. and is as follows: " 'Dammit', a black foxhound pup is in the doghouse at the Army flying school here. Standing his first retreat with the cadets, he squatted dutifully at the feet of Lieutenant F. F. Glomb, maintaining dignity until the bugler began sounding the first notes. Then 'Dammit's' howls all but broke up the ceremony." Lieut. Glomb and "Dammit" are now at Ft. Bliss, Texas. * * * Mrs. Frank N. Holley, Jr. wears a cute little gadget, a gold compass, on her lapel that is more than 50 years old. Found among some old trinkets given to her by her aunt, Mrs. Holley noticed the fine little instrument was mounted in blue enamel and surrounded by a heavy gold case, dutifully engraved on the back with three initials as trinkets were in those days. Hoping the instrument was in working order, Mrs. Holley had it "boxed" by the captain of the S. S. Florida one night on a trip down from New York, found it perfect. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Bradbury L. Barnes of 918 South Greenway Drive are opening their home on the evening of March 20th for a social evening for the friends of the Congregational church. Mrs. Frank W.

They expect to spend some time in Redlands, Cal.--plan to return in early summer. * * * Mrs. Louie Lanford entertained a group of twenty members of the Coral Gables Woman's Club at luncheon Tuesday. Honor guests were Mrs. A. H. Hammond of Louisville, Ky., and Mrs. Charles J. Susong, president of the club.
