Imagine living in a country where there is no sugar shortage and where gas is not rationed. But such are the stories brought back by Mrs. A. F. French and Mrs. Hamilton Michelsen, who are living in Motembo, Cuba. Sugar, of course, is the island's industry and oil wells abound. Mrs. French arrived Monday to spend a few days at her home, 822 Avenue Milan, has Mrs. Michelsen as guest and welcomed home for a short vacation her daughter, Phyllis, who is taking nurse's training in Cincinnati, Ohio. Yesterday, members of Sigma Alpha Iota, national musical fraternity, gave a luncheon for Mrs. French (she's Jane French, the violinist) and Phyllis. She's returning Sunday to Cuba to rejoin Mr. French and expects to spend several more months in Motembo. Joining the growing colony of Pan American Airways flyers now living in Coral Gables are Captain and Mrs. E. A. Billings, who have just bought the attractive residence at 831 Avenue Sorolla for their permanent home. The Billings have two young sons, Charles Elliot Billings and Stephen Robb Billings, have lived in the Miami area for more than a year.

Friends of Mrs. McKinney will miss her greatly. Known professionally as Clara Anna McKinney, her work as a portrait photographer is well known in the Miami area. The McKinneys have two small daughters, Mary Anna and Sara Elizabeth (Sally). Mrs. I. W. England was hostess at luncheon for eight, Wednesday, honoring Mrs. Henry Caldwell. Out-of-town guests present were Miss Marie Watt, who graduated Monday from Florida State College for Women, and Miss Harris Davis, stationed at Pensacola. Mrs. Caldwell, a native of Madrid, Spain. Mrs. England only recently returned from Mexico City, where she was widely entertained and where she witnessed the uprisings of the Mexicans against the Axis at the time of the sinking of the American ship. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hax Smith, Jr., of 3205 Granada Boulevard are announcing the birth of a daughter, Suzanne Michau Smith, Friday, at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Mrs. Smith is the former Mary Linaweaver. Almost at the time of the baby's arrival, Mr. Smith received his law degree at the University of Miami, and his orders to report to Key West with the Naval Reserves. Addition to the musical contingent of Coral Gables is seen in the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. John Anthony Lyden, Monday, from Youngstown, Ohio. With their daughter, Rosemary, 16, pianist, and sons, John and Henry, who play violin and drums, respectively, they have leased the residence at 2028 Alhambra Circle. Mr. Leyden plans to commute to his business in Youngstown, spending as much time as he can with his family here. Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Miller have moved to their country home on Miller Road and had as their first house guests Mrs. Miller's son, Lieutenant Jack Kane, and Mrs. Kane (Barbara Kathanison, of Pensacola. In fact, the Kanes arrived the very day of moving. Having a 15-day leave from the Naval Air Base, Lieutenant and Mrs. Kane went to New York for a four-day visit with his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. George Porter (Betty Kane), then had time for a week's visit here.

You Might as Well CONFESS!

Almost everyone likes a mystery - almost everyone enjoys the thrilling excitement of tracking down a criminal with an ace detective. But some are a little ashamed to admit reading mysteries. Well-you needn't be. Maybe you didn't know that many college professors bank presidents, great scientists, cap- tains of industry, even the President of the United States all like their mysteries. In fact, millions of Americans are reading more mysteries today than ever before. Why? Mainly because these fast-paced, easy-reading stories are both relaxing and refreshing. It is for them-and for you that we are publishing Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine Edited by Ellery Queen, famous detective of the radio, the movies, and best-seller books, it is devoted exclusively to the best in detective crime short-story literature. And we mean literature. The fact that a story owes it plot to crime and detection need not prevent its being well written. Short detective fiction that is well written is not too readily available. But we are finding them-in books, in magazines, in the files of famous authors-and by arrangement with other publishers as well as with author, we reprint in the approved Reader's Digest manner the best detective fiction to be procured. Such masters as Dashiell Hammett, Agatha Christie, Stuart Palmer and Ellery Queen will be found in it. But stories are selected on their merits, not on authors' names. Tough and suave, casual and swift, comic and tragic; they are mingled with refreshing variety and stimulating change of pace. Rare gems, fit for the most critical, delightful to the most naive. You will find the new magazine well printed - sharp and clear, kind to the eyes. You will find the size the same as The Reader's Digest-convenient to hold, to handle, to slip into your pocket. You will find the cover as pleasing to look at as a book jacket. And you will find the contents the most satisfying quarter's worth of detective-story reading you have found in many a day.
