Raymond Smith, U. S. M. C. Interesting newcomers to Coral Gables are Mr. and Mrs. Fulger Attarian, who have leased the residence at 3810 Alhambra Court. They recently returned from New Caledonia Island, off the coast of Australia, and can tell many a tale of their four-months' trip over the open water making the perilous trip to the states. Mr. Attarian is with Pan American Airways. They have two attractive children, Marion, six, and Fulger, eight . . . Spending a "victors" vacation is what Mrs. Whitford Mayes calls her summer at the Mayes home, 2616 Country Club Prado.

Miss Elizabeth Ann Gingrich will arrive this week from the University of Wisconsin to spend the summer with her parents, Commander and Mrs. H. F. Gingrich, 426 Alhambra Circle . . . Captain John E.

Beach, formerly of Toledo, Ohio, have bought the home at 222 Avenue Antiquera for their permanent home. Mrs. Webb's two sons are in Toledo doing defense work.

Spending the

week-end with her husband will be an innovation for Mrs. Robert Kenney, recent bride, who will arrive today from West Palm Beach for a wee visit with Staff Sergeant Kenney, now at the Officer Candidate Training School, Miami Beach. Mrs. Kenney will be the guest of her parents-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. O. H. P. Kenney, 110 Avenue Sidonia.

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 magazine the best detective fiction to be procured. Such masters as Dashiell Hammett, Agatha Christie, Stuart Palmer and Ellery Queen are to be found in it. But stories are selected on their merits, not on authors' names.
