Following their honeymoon, by motor north, they will reside in their new apartment at 439 Sevilla.

Mrs. Mae Goodbar in a floor length gown of dusty pink marquisette acted as matron of honor. She carried a bouquet of gardenias. Carl Justice was best man for Mr. Sterling and the couple pledged their vows before Dr. Nevir Schaaf, pastor of the church.

Carol Gulliver to Enter Smith Bettie Bollinger, U. of Georgia

Getting ready for that first year at college is thrilling a number of Coral Gables girls, especially those who are going out-of-state to college. This year the new long hem line has interested a few, but we cannot truthfully say that the college-bound trunks will be filled with ankle length suits. Miss Carol Gulliver left Tuesday by motor accompanied by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Gulliver for New York. An exciting two weeks in Gotham and surrounding New England states is planned by the Gullivers who will drop their daughter off at Northampton in time for registration at Smith College Sept. 22. Carol will pick out a fur coat in New York but packed in her trunk are a lot of new clothes bearing the labels of Coral Gables shops, and one date dress, a little black number with extenuated hip line and new long length, is there from Althea's. Summering with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. F. P. Brigham, who have taken a cottage at East Charlestown, Vermont, is Miss Jerre Prince Brigham. Jerre will enter Wellesley about the 20th. She writes her friends that she bought some exciting winter clothes in Montreal, while they were traveling there, but most of her college clothes also bear Gables dress shop labels. Leaving Monday for month's travel in the North were Mr. and Mrs. Adam G. Adams, 1213 Blue Road, and their daughter, Susan Toy Adams, who will enter Vanderbilt University, at Nashville, Tenn. Sue will take along a number of sweaters in pastels, so right with every college girl's wardrobe, some of which she industriously knitted herself. By Plane An exciting trip North is planned by Barbara Brown and Harriet Quillan. They are leaving by plane for Durham, N. C., and will register at Duke University on Sept. 11. Barbara, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Allen Brown, 3820 Alhambra Court, is interested, of course, in her new college wardrobe, but she is excited over the fact that she will see snow for the first time in her life. Barbara has one of Althea's evening frocks, a black faille strapless with a bouffant skirt and front bustle effect, also a lot of dresses from the Valencia Shop. Kathryn Hardeman and Helen Stephens will enter Brenau College, Gainesville, Ga., for their first year at college on the 16th. Kathryn, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Vines Hardeman, 2852 S. W. 38th avenue, has bought her entire wardrobe in Coral Gables. Among several of her things bought at Daniels are a honey colored silk raincoat and a aqua flanned robe, without which no college girl's outfit is complete. Kathryn plans to buy rain boots and a matching rain hat in Georgia. Seems they are a must at Brenau. Helen, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lem Stephens, 3800 Granada Boulevard, also bought most of her new clothes in Coral Gables shops and has several black numbers among them. Both Katherine and Helen modeled in Althea's Country Club show a cou- ple of weeks ago, and bought the dresses they modeled — Helen's, a stunning green plaid strapless eve- (Please turn to page nine)
