They will be moving to their new home, one of the larger, older attractive Coral Gables land marks, about June first, "and it will be like coming home" Mrs. Holcomb told your reporter just recently. The Holcombs are members of the Century Club of Coral Gables Mr Holcomb a Miami attorney, has been a trustee of the Congregational Church for many years and Mrs. Holcomb as long been a member of the Coral Gables Woman's Club. Residents of the southwest section of Miami, Mrs. Holcomb feels the family are moving to the Gables just at the right time.

Their daughter, Doris, will be completing the sixth grade at Coral Way Elementary, which is as high as the grades go in that school and will enter the Coral Gables Elementary in the fall. Formerly owned by Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Doddridge, the new home will have some alterations and additions made by the Holcombs before they take possession-and Mrs. Holcomb hopes to have her very own slat house for her large collection of orchid plants. * * * "Honeymoon home" was the way Mr. and Mrs. R.
