Garden Club May Party Will Have Alfresco Setting

College Clothes Fall Preview Theme of Evening at Althea's "OLD GRADS" TELL TEEN-AGERS WHAT IS WHAT ON CAMPUS

By MARY FRANK With the approaching days of June and high school graduation, the young sub-deb's fancy turns to thoughts of college - and a new wardrobe. And so amidst an atmosphere of sipping Coco Colas, eating potato chips, and hearing the chatter of fashion-conscious teen-agers, a party was launched Monday evening, at Althea's, 317 Coral Way, to talk about clothes! What the best dressed college girl will wear next fall seemed to be the topic for discussion among approximately twenty five local college candidates. Although some are scheduled to enter colleges located in their own home town or state, and others will trek northward for a quest of knowledge, the mutual concern for collegiate clothes was harboring in the minds of all the future college freshmen. Different trends prevail at different campuses, according to Mrs. Euvera Benway, fashion-coordinator, who spoke to the group. This trend coupled with the girl's own individual tastes and desires comprises the typical college wardrobe. "It's even wise to set aside a budget for your college clothes," said Mrs. Benway. Representatives from the University of Miami, Duke University, and Northwestern University gave the high school girls pointers about what "Miss Collegiate" wears at the respective schools. Pert cottons and colorful play shoes seems to appeal to the University of Miami co-eds, according to Miss Cornelia Jones, University senior who will graduate in June. On the other hand, sweaters and skirts are popular during the colder months, with suits running a close second. Sorority preferential teas and the Pan Hellenic tea require a more "dressed up Miss," however. Change of seasons is the desired effect available to the college co-ed who navigates northward to school, according to Miss Johanna Weiland, 1104 Malaga Avenue, a Duke graduate. It's off to class dressed in casual clothes on the Duke campus, with sweaters and skirts topping the list. If you're planning a wardrobe for Duke, a formal and dinner dress, a white dress for special occasions, and two coats - a black chesterfield and a tweed - are a necessity. For "down-pour days" don't forget to tuck in a raincoat and rubber boots. As for hats, a head-gear for tea, going to town and church, a black-mesh or feather band for a date, and casual caps for everyday wear. According to Miss Weiland, Blue Jeans are also a "must" on the college girl's list for cabin parties and other informal get-togethers. Northwestern graduates, Misses Julia Draper and Ruth Mulfinger, Coral Gables visitors, emphasised the need for stadium boots to keep you warm at football games and in classes on cold days. Co-eds at Northwestern prefer sweaters and skirts, and the more casual wardrobe also. A form was then filled out by the girl's naming their preference types in campus clothes, date dresses, formals, and dinner dresses. Mrs. Benway will use this survey during her buying trip to New York. College clothes will be featured during the month of August at Althea's. Fashion shows will be held, and college girls will serve as advisors to girls planning to enter college in the fall. Among the girls present were: Sue Adams, Kathy Einfeldt, Nancy Jackson, Kaki Jones, Nancy Kingston, Bertha Moore, Peggy Randal, Helen Johanson, Mary Nell Schoettle, Helen Stephens, Shirley Merlin, Kitty Pankey, Helen Hagler, Mary Lou Magsdon, Gene Farnell, Norma Wilson, Eleanor Smith, Jerry Still, Barbara Brown, Harriet Quillian, Joan Cook, Jean Fuller, Joyce Bandy and Bea Shapoff.

MRS. NEWTON HEADS PARLEY

Mrs. Grace Newton, a past president of the Coral Gables American Legion Post Auxiliary, was elected president of the Past President's Parley of the auxiliary at the annual meeting. Mrs. Leon L. Bowman will serve as 1st vice president; Mrs. Marvin Merrifield, treasurer; Mrs. Ralph Peckham, secretary and Mrs. Edwin J. Barker, chaplain. Mrs. A. L. Reinhard, 10 th district president was the installing officer. Mrs. Doris K. Green, 125 S.W. 17th road, will be the hostess for the first meeting under the new officers, a covered dish luncheon June 4th. Mrs. Green, president of the Miami Beach auxiliary, is immediate past president of the Parley. She was presented a gift, a crystal center piece by Mrs. Barker.

MRS. FRANK NEWTON and daughters, Nella and Dottie, 1341 Alhambra Circle, form this attractive trio. Planning their annual summer's vacation in Clayton, Ga., where they have been guests at the Bynum House for several seasons, they will visit first, both Mr. and Mrs. Newton's parents in Atlanta and Macon, respectively. Among the newcomers to Coral Gables Nella attends Ponce de Leon High School, where she is a member of the sophomore class, and Dottie attends the Coral Gables Elementary. -Pilkington Photo

MRS. ERNEST SNYDER PROMISES WORK FOR CLUB MEMBERS By BONNIE MUNROE

If any old or new member of Coco Plum Woman's Club entertained the idea that a club woman is a dressed up matron who casually attends meetings; her notion became a myth by the time Mrs. C. Ernest Snyder, new 'up and coming' president, finished her little talk at the May Breakfast. In this enterprising club, the announcement that all club members are expected to work, was not exactly news to most old members but was the kind of pronouncement that left no room for doubt. A cause for merriment came when she advised all to get a good rest this summer as it would be necessary if we carry out our ambitious program for the coming year. With her new executive board, Mrs. Snyder announced new committee chairmen as follows, hospitality, Mrs. Andrew Healy; membership, Mrs. Robert Syngington; decorations, Mrs. Wm. F.

The date for this meeting will be announced. Owing to the change in by-laws the next regular business meeting, the final session, will convene at 2:30 p.m. June 4, in the club house. The library, favorite project of Coco Plum Woman's Club, will remain open all summer with it's usual service.
