PONCE GLEE CLUB GIRL WINS IN VOICE CONTEST

At the Florida Federation of Music Clubs convention, held at St. Augustine, 42 Juniors, who had received superior ratings in their districts, competed in the state finals. The only ones receiving voice awards were two girls from Greater Miami—Charlotte Hicks, from the Ponce de Leon Girls Glee Club, and Roberta Weiner, from Miami, who shared honors in the Mamie Dawson Costello Memorial award, given by the Tampa Friday morning musicale, as second prize. The first prize went to Robert Thompson, pianist of Tampa, and the third prize to a piano quartet from Jacksonville. These two girls were also heard at a concert given after the Wednesday banquet, at which time, Charlotte, as the representative of the Ponce de Leon Club, was also given the state bulletin award, the first Junior Club to achieve this honor. At the April meeting of the Coral Gables Music Club, another of her Junior Clubs covered themselves with honor—The Bar and Staff Club. These youngsters put on one of the most delightful programs of the year. Under the direction of their councillor, Charlotte Holdcroft and Mrs. C. H. Neill, advisor, their stage manager and script writer, Bob Hiss, created a living background on the stage. Graceful Australian pines and interspersed flowering hibiscus were a natural and colorful setting for the old-fashioned lamp posts, which were the motif for the clubs' theme song, "The Old Lamp Lighter." Against this background, the club members were grouped naturally and informally and their entire program had a freshness and spontaneity that was delightful to both eye and ear. In an informal way each introduced the other; Ed English, tenor; Gene Neill, pianist; Jim Neill cornetist; Louis Davis, mezzo soprano and Fred Anibal and Harry Amidon of the chorus. As a guest artist they had their fellow Ponce member and state winner, Charlotte Hicks, who sang "Ave Maria" and "None But the Lonely Heart."

Gablesgrams BY HELEN REYNOLDS, SOCIETY EDITOR

Coral Gables friends of the former Miss Mary Jane Lambeth will be interested in the news of her marriage April 4th to Pan American Airways Captain James Spilman Jr., which took place in New York City. The bride was accompanied to New York by her mother, Mrs. John Lambeth formerly of Coral Gables, now of Atlanta, Ga. The new Mrs. Spilman has lived practically all of her life in Coral Gables. She was graduated from Florida State College for Women in 1941 where she was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority. Strictly an "air" romance, Captain Spilman and his bride are residing in the Gotham Hotel, while awaiting his orders to Brussels, Belgium, where he will be stationed. * * * Flowers by air from as far as California, and from admiring friends and business acquaintances graced the home of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Johnson Monday for the celebration of their golden wedding anniversary. The Johnsons held "open house" from 7 until 9 when more than 50 of their friends called to congratulate them. A golden wedding cake tiered and decorated centered the refreshment table. Assisting their parents were Gablettes Mr. and Mrs. Harris Johnson, son and daughter-in-law, and Mr. and Mrs. Terry Spencer, son-in-law and daughter, who were down from Haines City for the festivities. The Johnsons attribute their long life together as a result of living in the same home, 1545 Avenue Placentia in beautiful "C.G." for the past 17 1/2 years. They came here from Pittsburgh. Mr. Johnson is still active in the insurance business. * * * If the present plans of Mrs. Guarina A. McCarthy materialize, a number of Coral Gables girls will attend camp this summer in a foreign land for the first time in their lives. A native of Cuba, Mrs. McCarthy, the daughter of the former Cuban consul J. Alvarez Betancourt, now attached to the legation in Haiti, plans her camp in the old and beautiful city of Trinidad, ideally placed on the southern coast of Cuba with mountains and ocean beaches. Her arrangements are about complete and hinge solely on the transportation problem. The McCarthy's daughter, Patsy, a junior at the American Dominican Academy in Havana who returned this week to Cuba, after spending the Easter vacation with her parents, will assist her mother in conducting the camp.

SPRING CLEANING WOES NEED NOT BE A HEADACHE

Come spring, your dry cleaner can be one of your best friends—if you will let him. There are so many things he is able to do better than you at small cost, being a specialist with a specialist's skill and equipment. Here are a few: Blankets are one of those fragile items for which quality cleaning—which preserves their warmth by being more considerate of the soft, fluffy nap—is a "must." Once felted, there is no known way of restoring their original condition. Storage by your cleaner is advisable because of moth danger. The cost is really next to nothing. If you do store blankets at home, however, never lay anything on top of them. This crushes the nap fibres and reduces warmth, too. Slipcovers are usually soiled to such an extent as to require wet-cleaning as well as dry cleaning. Quality work gives all possible protection against fading or shrinkage, particularly if they are new. Slipcovers have been made of materials which shrunk as much as four per cent in cleaner's solvent and more than twice that much in water. So let this be a tip to the cautious yards goods buyer. It's not the cleaner's fault if such fabrics are simply not serviceable. Drapes often require the gentlest care in cleaning of almost any household articles because sun-light and atmospheric gases weaken them so. Often they will pull apart at the slightest tension. In such instances, the best cleaners in the country cannot accept them. Stretching properly back to size and shape, bleaching (where desirable), sizing and mending are an art which is part of your cleaner's service. Furniture cleaning is being offered by more and more cleaners—and a blessing it is. Professional care in this respect is vastly superior to home methods. Often these only re-distribute existing soil, leave soap in the fabric to rancify, rust springs and don't really clean, anyway. Many cleaners will make repairs, too.

The James Emory Markettes Return from Havana Honeymoon

Mr. and Mrs. James Emory Markette have returned from their honeymoon in Havana, Cuba, and are residing in their new apartment at 122 Avenue Menores. For her Friday marriage in the Coral Gables Methodist Church, Mrs. Markette, the former Miss Betty June Cook, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Herman Walter Cook of 1140 Avenue Astoria, wore a traditional white satin wedding gown and carried a bouquet of Easter lilies and phalenopsis. Her sister-in-law Mrs. William G. Harkins was matron of honor. The bride's other attendants, all Delta Gamma sorority sisters, included Miss Anna Mae Dritt, Miss Ella Clark, Miss Vivie Bayne with Miss Kay Sullivan as maid-ofhonor. Huge bouquets of red roses complimented their all white gowns. William Church was best man and groomsman included Gene Griffin, Jack Waddell, Herman Cook Jr., and Mr. Harkins. Mrs. Cook, mother of the bride, chose a gown of starlight green crepe and a corsage of pink camellias for her daughter's wedding. The reception followed at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Cook and was largely attended. From Atlanta, Ga., were Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Turner, grandparents of the bride; Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Wall, Mrs. J. R. Turner Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Turner. For travel the new Mrs. Markette wore a navy blue gabardine suit with rose jacket and navy blue accessories. Popular University of Miami student, the bride attended the University of Alabama following her graduation from Ponce de Leon High School. She was sponsor for the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and was chosen Miss University of Miami for 1946. Mr. Markette, a native of Oxford, Ohio, where he was schooled, is attending the University of Miami. He served the United State Army Airforces as a pilot during the war for four years in the European theatre.
