FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1942 — THE CORAL GABLES RIVIERA — PAGE 3

GABLESGRAMS by HELEN REYNOLDS

by HELEN REYNOLDS It looks as if spring vacations and four-year courses in men's colleges were a thing of the past. However, women's colleges will proceed along traditional ways, with Easter vacations the topic of the moment. Arriving today by motor car from Tallahassee are Miss Beth Mitchell, Miss Suzanne Bonner and Miss Frances McGarry, all students at the State Woman's College, coming for their spring leave and being escorted by Mr. Mitchell. Douglas Batchelor, son of the O. D. Batchelors and a senior at the University of North Carolina, returned last week following a short vacation. ... Jack Baldwin, who covered himself with glory in the golfing world by winning top place with his partner in the inter-fraternity golf matches at Florida University with a 73 last week, returned Monday to Gainesville after spending the week-end with his parents, the Charles F. Baldwins, 2604 DeSoto Boulevard. * * * Mrs. E. C. Hodge will open her home, 760 Alhambra Circle, from 5:30 to 7:30 P. M. tomorrow for the Lambda Tau Delta Sorority tea. The party will be given by the pledges and will honor the actives and their husbands. Lambda Tau Delta is the oldest national non-academic social sorority in the United States, so we hear, and was founded more than 50 years ago. * * * Captain and Mrs. Lothar S. Boeck, who have leased the residence at 4300 Palmarito Street, have as their house guests Mrs. Hubbell Thorne of New York and Miss Marian Cruikshank of Santa Anna, Cal. Captain Boeck is a senior pilot with Pan American Airways. The Boecks have a great Dane named "Frigga," who is probably the most traveled dog for his two years of age and 150 pounds of pep in the country. Being ordered to Rio, the Boecks shipped Frigga ahead on a freighter, only to have their own orders changed, but Frigga "doggedly" made the trip to South America and back. * * * Mr. and Mrs. A. M Herrmann and their niece, Miss Reba Wester of Englewood Cliffs, N. J., arrived Monday to spend two weeks with Captain and Mrs. E. B. Wharton. ... Mrs. Rose E. Wolfort of Kansas City, Mo., is likewise spending two weeks with her son-in-law and daughter, the John A. Gautiers. * * * One of Coral Gables' most ardent war workers is Mrs. Harry J. Beyer, Jr., pictured here (A. D. Pilkington photo) with her three charming youngsters, Rodney, seven; Gail, four, and Dean, two. Each morning finds Mrs. Beyer, known as "Betty" to all her friends, at the University of Miami studying first aid. She knits and sews and spends many an hour at the surgical station (Red Cross), and for her diversion plays tennis and bridge. She is also chairman of memberships at the Country Club of Coral Gables, and with her husband, a Pan American Airways flyer, goes bicycling often. * * * Miss Frances McGarry and Miss Suzanne Bonner, will be honored tomorrow at a luncheon Miss Caroline Davidson will give at her home, 3563 Royal Palm Avenue, Coconut Grove. Invited are Miss Judy Pepper, Miss Patty Lynn, Miss Virginia Butler, Miss Dottie Ann Dolnig, Miss Gayle Stinson, Miss Kitty McKay and Miss Lois Dolsen. Both Miss Bonner and Miss McGarry are prominent at Woman's College and members of Pi Beta Phi. * * * Five tables were in play Tuesday at the Country Club of Coral Gables, with Mrs. W. S. Blanton high scorer in the weekly bridge tournament play. Mrs. Lawson A. Cheatham was second and Mrs. David Desmond was third winner. * * * Continuing her series of parties, Mrs. Albert H. Gleason will entertain 32 guests on the tenth for luncheon and bridge. * * * Mrs. Warren O. Hodgdon, 3629 Harlano Street, gave her husband a surprise lawn party Sunday afternoon, from 3 to 7 o'clock, honoring his 78th birthday anniversary. The guests, numbering 100, were largely from the Three-Score-and-Ten Club of Miami, of which organization Mr. Hodgdon is the new president. The club gave him a handsome gavel, the presentation being made by W. E. Johnson, a member of the managing board. Punch and other refreshments were served. * * * Mr. and Mrs. F. O. Streckewald, formerly of Wauwatosa (a suburb of Milwaukee), are newcomers to Coral Gables, having purchased the residence at 1137 Avenue Sorolla for their permanent home. It took the Streckewalds just about a day to decide in favor of Coral Gables after having bought lots on which to build at Lake Worth. They havebeen coming to Florida for the past five winters, but never to the so Miami until this year—then a visit with friends here made them change their minds. Mr. Streckewald is a retired meat packing official of Milwaukee. They have become members of the Country Club of Coral Gables and like to go dancing and play golf.

Century Club's Easter Dance Will End Year's Social Activities

Spring flowers in pastels will decorate the tables for the Easter dance of the Century Club Monday night at the Miami Biltmore Country Club.

There will be pretty numbers and comedy numbers. There will be slow waltzes and boogiewoogie. In short, the audience will see the sort of show staged in all better night clubs.

Coral Gables Chapter D. A. R. Receives Many Awards at Meet

Honors came to Coral Gables Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, in reports and in many ways last week at the state conference held in Orlando. Headed by Mrs. Wade Livingston Street, regent, six members attended as delegates. Second award and the regent's prize for the best girl homemaker went to Miss Mary Louise Ranier son, student at Ponce de Leon High School. Miss Ranier son won her award for the best home-made dress. Special acclaim was given Mrs. Lloyd W.

To date 27 chapters have requested copies of the unusual letter, and special mention has been made by the president general, Mrs. William H. Couch, who was present at the conference. Mrs. Street, the regent, plans to attend the continental congress, to be held this year from May 4 to 7 at Chicago, because of the crowded conditions in Washington, official home of the D. A. R.

Feminine Spectators Anticipate Unruly Weather by Racetrack Attire

The daily feminine visitors to Tropical Park have become so well acquainted with the vagaries of Miami's tropical climate they now anticipate cool or hot weather by wearing cotton sports suits and frocks under wool topcoats and are prepared to put on—or take off—according to the way the wind blows. Monday was a day when coats were in order during the afternoon and the cotton frocks just right for the balance of the time. Luncheon guests who early sought the front part of the terrace moved to the sheltered areas when light rain fell intermittently. Mrs. Frank Warton, Philadelphia, Mrs. John C. Clark, Surf Club, and Mrs. Robert Cooke, New York, made a charming trio in the sheltered box of the Clarks' on the upper terrace of the clubhouse. Mrs. Clark's mustard-colored two-piece dress, made nice contrast to the white frock worn by Mrs. Warton and the powder blue ensemble chosen by Mrs. Cooke. All three ladies were hatless. The always well-dressed Mrs. Jacob D. Lit, Philadelphia, wore a checked two-piece dress with a small white straw pompadour hat decorated with violets on top of her head. As usual, a fetching veil held her hair and hat securely in place. Mrs. Stefan Zacher lunched with her mother, Mrs. H. N. Lape. Mrs. B. L. Atwater, Chicago, and daughter, Mrs. George F. Getz, Jr., Wilmette, Ill., had luncheon at a table from which they could watch the races. Mr. and Mrs. George E. Van Hagen, Miami Beach and Chicago, dined alone and watched the races from a box off the directors' lounge.

BARRY COLLEGE GIRLS SPEND EASTER LEAVE

Spending Easter vacation "just relaxing" will be Barry collegians Doris Donovan, Mary Margaret LaPointe and Margaret Waldeck. Geographically, the Miami Shores campus feel that the three have earned their Eastertide rest. In the academic line, the trio's major interest is commercial education. As vice-president of the freshman class, Miss LaPointe's extra moments are fully occupied, while all three of the "relaxers" enthusiastically support the first-year athletic team. Actively interested in recent productions of the Barry Theatre Guild was Miss Donovan, who is slated, too, for a role in a forthcoming operetta, "Jack and the Beanstalk." Miss Waldeck, also a Guild member, is attending rehearsals for the same production.
