By HELEN REYNOLDS, SOCIETY EDITOR Attractive Mrs. Edmond Alexander Hughes is returning late next month with Mr. Hughes to open their Coral Gables home for the season. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hughes enjoy a wide acquaintance of friends and were hosts in their North Dakota summer home to traveling Coral Gableites. Among them were Mr. and Mrs. Inman Padgett, who have just returned. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes took their guests on many wonderful automobile trips to the Badlands and the Black Hills, notable North Dakota spots; to Hot Springs, South Dakota to Coolidge's summer "white house" at Rapid City, South Dakota, and on their jaunts tenderfeet Viola and Inman saw herds of buffalo, deer and elk in the big parks. Widely entertained in Bismarck, the home of the Hugheses, the Padgetts were honored at a steak dinner at the ranch home of Mr. and Mrs. John Sullivan. The Sullivans resided in Coral Gables for two recent winters and their two daughters, now married, attended the University of Miami. Mr. Sullivan, who is an attorney in Bismarck, and his wife, plan to make Coral Gables their permanent home in the near future. Other hosts were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Copeland and Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Conklin who have frequently visited here, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hughes . . . Continuing their travels, Mr. and Mrs. Padgett visited Denver and Estes Park in Colorado and in Cheyenne, Wyoming met Mr. and Mrs. George C. Simpson of 629 Palmarito Court, for a week of big game hunting at Kirk Ranch. MRS. EDMOND A. HUGHES Fifteen members of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority honored one of their distinguished members Major Ellen Hayes, W. A. C. with a luncheon Saturday at the Country Club of Coral Gables. Major Hayes was the first woman to enter Berlin after the invasion; was there for the flag raising and has been there ever since in charge of housing. She is on leave and will return to Berlin via American Transport Command early in November. Major Hayes set the pace at the luncheon for asking for fresh fruit salad. She said that she had been gorging on fresh fruits, for, of course, that item is never seen in Germany. The shy petite officer in her trim uniform attracted the attention of all other diners at the club. For her hosts, Major Hayes painted a not too pretty picture of the food shortage in Berlin—told the whole story (Please Turn to Page Nine)
