Gableites Travel Pennocks Leave; Price Girls Here

Mr. and Mrs. E. Eldridge Pennock closed up their ranch, "Jonocoj", this week and departed "incognito-for an unknown destination." "I'll tell you one thing about where we're going," said Mrs. Pennock, who's been doing a yeoman's job of publicity for Country Club events. "It won't have a telephone." * * * Miss Dora Thomas, president of the Coral Gables Business and Professional Women's Club is attending the regional district meeting of the Federation at Gulfport, Miss. Following the session she will go on to Charleston, W. Va., for a visit with her mother, returning in September. * * * Mary Sadler, owner of the Valencia Shop has returned from a buying trip to New York City and reports that she has bought some lovely things (the first in market since the war) for her shop. Incidently Mrs. Sadler takes a busman's holiday when she goes to New York. She visits her brother and family, the J. C. Wagnons of Kew Gardens and sees the shows and this year adjoined the races with her brother at Arlington, visiting also at Egg Harbor and Atlantic City. Enroute home she visited her daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Charles S.

Gablegrams BY HELEN REYNOLDS, SOCIETY EDITOR

The "Peach Festival" and Bazaar featured yearly in August at Fishkill, N. Y., reminds Mrs. Wade Livingston Street, who is vacationing there of the church club and P-T.A. bazaars Coral Gables enthusiasts prepare in the winter time. The bazaar Mrs. Street writes to Gables Grams about took place in the quaint little village of Fishkill and was given by the Dutch Reformed Church and was a great success for they made over $300. All the important folk from the country side came. There were handerchief booths, white elphants, cakesand pies for sale — a fish pond fortune telling and speeches. Songs by costumed singers including Gypsy and Mrs. Street sang a Spanish song in Spanish costume ... Mrs. Street is returning to New York this week to resume her voice lessons and later plans a motor trip to Montreal. * * * Mrs. John Stoddart of Columbus Boulevard and her mother, Mrs. R. Ernest Nitzsche of 2412 Greenway Drive have returned from three weeks in New York City. Mrs. Stoddart joined her mother in Gotham and together they shopped and saw the Broadway shows for about two weeks. Incidentaly, Mrs. Stoddart came home wearing the new shade of brown sheer hose so right with her brown suit, alligator shoes and bag. We're being style-minded at the moment after Saturday's fashion show at the Country Club at which some 320 women members and their guests had luncheon and viewed what's new in fashions. Althea's lovely models weren't the only ones, however, being noticed. Mrs. John B. Railsback in black sheer dress, complete with hat, bag, gloves and stockings (also black sheer) was chosen the best dressed woman at the luncheon show by Althea's staff of experts and presented a gift bottle of cologne. We also noted, but did not get her name, a guest wearing green sheer hose which complimented her green outfit very well. * * * Mrs. Ann Seldon Nicholson left Tuesday for New York City where she will join her daughter, Ann "Nikki" Nicholson, who has completed her six weeks seminar at Fordham University. Miss Nicholson was graduated from Florida State University, Tallahassee. Mother and daughter will visit friends in Westchester county and relatives and friends in Connecticut and Cape Cod. At Old Lyme, Conn., they will revisit the birthplace of Mrs. Nicholson's grandfather. Later they plan to visit in Flint, Mich., and will return to their Coral Gables home late in October. * * * Something new will be added to a regulation dance studio this winter when Mildred Eaton invites Spanish, French and Portuguese language classes from the University of Miami to meet at her studio, for dancing and instructions. Miss Eaton began her own dancing at the age of nine and California, Beverly Hills, to be exact, found her with an up and coming studio at the beginning of the war. During her California teaching days, Miss Eaton and her partner, Miss Catherine Elder taught the famous Shirley Temple when Shirley was a pupil at the Westlake School for Girls. Miss Eaton taught Shirley her tap and ballet steps from the time that she was 3 1/2 until the little star was seven. After serving in the Navy Miss Eaton came to Florida, a place she had longed to come to for many years. Here for the past two years, she feels at home now, and ready to reopen her dance studio, 327 Avenue Alcazar, for classes. An accomplished organist, she plays the organ at the Church of the Little Flower (incidentally the church is having a Hammond electric organ installed). On her staff will be Madame Ludwig of Coral Gables, Leonardo Palcoa, ballroom instructor, and Miss Elder, musician. * * * Dr. and Mrs. Manley Reopen Granada Home Dr. and Mrs. Louis K. Manley have reopened their home on Granada Boulevard at South Greenway Drive and are making plans to spend the winter in Coral Gables as usual. Dr. Manley, professor of government at the University of Miami will resume his lecture courses at opening of the fall semester. He took a leave of absence from the teaching post last year when business interests necessitated his presence in New Orleans, La. The Gables couple had hoped to make an extended tour of the Orient this summer, but were forced by unsettled conditions to cancel plans. They will leave shortly, however, on a two-week motor tour of the New England states.

PLAN THEM CAREFULLY Hot-day Dinners Bring Main Dish Courses

Main courses are known by their character. That is the important thing about a main course creation. If a main course is neither this or that, just a combination of ingredients dish, it will be pushed aside. But if the main course has a basic deliciousness, a delect-table something — a fine flavor — then it will be a success. It's the onions and green peppers that make Spanish Rice. It's the meat concoctions in Old Virginia Hot Pot that makes the family or guests smack their lips — it's the noodles in the Chow Mein and it's the lamb in the Mexican Stew. And here is sonehting to remember, if you labor with a budget, and who doesn't, a little meat goes a long way in a main dish course dish. So try making your main course dishes a savory delight that can be it the recipe is carefully followed.
