structors at the University of Miami and will teach in the English department come the fall semester. Miss Cadle plans to devote part of her free time to perfecting some manuscripts on children's text books. She resigned last June as principal of Kinlock School. * * * Post cards from Mrs. Frank Kerdyke from Rochester, N. Y., tells of encountering lots of hot weather everywhere ... Dr. and Mrs. Louis K. Manley, who are enjoying the cool weather at Hendersonville, N. C., and will return Saturday ... Mrs. S. Ernest Philpitt, Wildwood, N. J., who opines that the ocean looks the same as 'ours' but is far from it in many respects, as 'ours' surely exceeds it in beautiful colorings ... Mr. and Mrs. Warren Lehman at their farm in Sealy, write of seeing so many from Coral Gables when they go to Highlands, just eight miles away and among recent arrivals were the William McIlwains, the Paul Micklers. * * * Designing personalized beach rugs and bed spreads for Clark Gable of movie fame, is only one of the special orders that have come to Miss Mary Curtis Snell of Nashville, Tenn. who is a guest of Mrs. S. Lawton Skogstad, 2716 Granada Boulevard. Miss Snell is part owner and designer for the Tennessee Tufting Company, Nashville. She is dividing her time while vacationing here with Mrs. Skogstad, an old school mate in Nashville, and Miami Beach. At the beach Miss Snell will look for new Florida designs for her rugs, which are known to her customers as Tenn-Tuft rugs and spreads. * * * Baroness Giorgio M. Suriani of 501 Avenue Minorca, has a warm spot in her heart for the Coral Gables Greyhound Bus station agent Margaret Jacobson. The baroness left yesterday accompanying Ruby, a 15-year-old girl, sponsored by the Big Sisters of Dade County, Inc., of which the baroness is president, who enrolled as a boarding student at the Academy of the Holy Name, in San Antonio, Florida. Locating San Antonio, Texas, would be duck's soup to most anyone, but try and locate San Antonio, Fla. The baroness called the Miami Greyhound—they never heard of the place. She then called the Coral Gables Greyhound bus station and Mrs. Jacobson informed her of the exact routing, changes, etcetera that the baroness and her charge would have to make to reach the remote and little known San Antonio. San Antonio, Fla. is, incidentally, not far from Tampa. some 6 miles from Dade City. * * * Colonel Wallace E. Hackett (ret.) of 1420 Avenue Venetia has a new Irish Terrier, Patsy; but he gave his neighbors quite a start the other day when he proudly walked his new dog up the avenue. The neighbors were sure they were seeing the ghost of Pedro, the colonel's pet who had been in the Hackett household for 10 1/2 years and who had been named for a Puerto Rican houseboy the Hacketts acquired about the same time they did the dog. But Pedro passed on to the happy grounds almost a year ago, and after several months the colonel decided Pedro would have to be replaced. Watching the newspapers from all over, Colonel Hackett finally located his dog in Hyattsville, Md. Combining a recent trip to Washington on a visit to the dog's owner resulted in Patsy arriving via air express.
