JUST BETWEEN US Tattle-Tale Who Babbles Out Secrets Not Entitled To Confidence of Friends

By NANCY MOTTRAM Confidences are a pretty serious thing to receive. They aren't to be taken lightly or to be treated casually. Once someone does confide in you, you have a responsibility. Everyone likes to tell a close friend certain things he doesn't want to become common property. If it's a problem, he'd like to have another's advice, or maybe he'd like to share opinions. Either way, if you're asked to keep it quiet, it's up to you to justify his faith in you. If you're in on something that's private, it's a temptation to tell just one person after he gives his word it won't get out. Most people like to feel that they're more informed than their friends, and you might mention that bit of talk just to prove you're up to date on the news. But when one tells another, the secret has a good chance of traveling. When it finally gets back to the owner, it's only embarrassing to him, but it doesn't promote good feeling in you. There are a few things about yourself that you might have told a buddy under the strictest secrecy and, believing in your friendship, had no doubts. So, turn about is fair play, and when you're in on something exclusive, it's your chance to play fair. There's no excuse to tell all you know. It's much wiser, and safer, in the long run to think first before you blurt out something that can get you in a lot of hot water. If you can't be trusted to keep things to yourself, how about the people you open your heart to? If they find out that you've been free with their affairs, they're very likely to get angry and play the same game. Anyway you look at it, once your mistake is discovered, there's nothing but sorry consequences ahead. It all boils down to the fact that if a friend trusts you enough to confide in you, you yourself should make an effort to deserve that faith. Confidences are a rare thing to have and a rare job to keep. But if you bear in mind that it's to your credit when you keep silent about others' trials and tribulations, you won't be so tempted to misplace your talk.

GABLESGRAMS

(Continued from Page Seven) Virginia these days, and she doesn't like it. It seems Mr. McCarthy is building a group of houses in Hampton, Va., in partnership with his wife and the project is called "Mac-Alva Inc." They are FHA homes and with the expansion of nearby Langley Field, the firm of McCarthy and Alvarez is doing all right. Mrs. McCarthy is the former Patricia Alvarez. The mother of three fine children, she finds this commuting business a little disconcerting. "The last time I was up there," she tells us, "Cynthia's dog won a prize at the Country Club pet show and Peter was in a parade of models and spoke on the radio." The McCarthys do not want to leave the Gables. They have been residents for many years and it is close to Mrs. McCarthy's native Havana. When the children were quite tiny, the family lived in Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel H. Redfearn, who have been guests at the Columbus Hotel since returning from their honeymoon, will move into their own new home at 3601 Alhambra Court next week. At present the house is undergoing extensive refurnishing. While Coral Gables is home to Mr. Redfearn, Mrs. Redfearn is looking forward to residing here with a great deal of pleasure. No stranger to the area, she has many friends in Miami Beach, where she often spent the season in years gone by. A native Georgian, Mrs. Redfearn did notable work, during the war, organizing nurse's aides in the hospitals and serving as chairman of war drives.

Gableites Travel North To See Hurricanes Play U. of Connecticut

The home town cheering section will be small when the Hurricanes and the University of Cincinnati Bearcats kick off tomorrow afternoon in the Ohio city, but the handful of fans promised to make up in decibels what they lack in numbers. Dr. and Mrs. Bowman F. Ashe led the band of nine Gableites who embarked yesterday on the "Hurricane Special" to see the game. With them went their daughter, Mrs. Ruth Jones; treasurer Sid Maynard of the University of Miami; Harry Taylor, Dr. Charles Burbacher, Gardiner Mulloy and Mrs. W. Clark Kinkle. Miss Mary Jane Westerdahl, secretary to the Miami Alumni Association will also aboard. Miss Westerdahl will greet "old grads" from the mid-west who join local followers of the Orange, Green and White in the Cincinnati stadium. The Gables group will be special guests at homecoming activities planned by the University of Cincinnati. They will return by train to Miami late Sunday.

Gables Woman Finds Europe Desperate; 'Only Hate, Hunger Left' She Writes

"Europa to me is finish. It might come back but I doubt it. There is only hate left, and hunger." That was the dismal picture drawn by Elsita White in letters to Gables friends during her first visit to Denmark since the war. Mrs. White and her husband "K.D.", chief geologist for Standard Oil, came to Coral Gables in 1940 and bought the home at 3901 Granada Blvd. They returned to Europe last June to visit friends and relatives of Mrs. White in her native Copenhagen. In the still unfamiliar phrases of her adopted tongue, the charming blonde Sorbonne graduate told of hardships faced by a continent trapped in the aftermath of conquest and war. "Hunger is a terrible thing, and now they have had the driest summer ever," she wrote. "Here in Denmark, which is a dairy country, everything is rationed: food and clothes, and you can't buy a pair of stockings without coupon. "Coffee - one-half pound a month and the way we love coffee we use that in two times. There is no more cream, it is just milk they sell for the price of cream. No butter. Bread ration down to nothing. "Now I don't complain. Here in Denmark they don't starve but it is no fun. God, how we are lucky in the States." Shortages and prospects of a bleak winter ahead failed to dim the welcome prepared for Mrs. White. "I have not spent one quiet evening at home-out every night, parties and welcome speeches," she related. "It is touching to see how they have saved all of their coupons to my arrival, so they could give these wonderful dinners." "Of course, they all want to return thanks for the packages they have received, which was so little-but as now I live here I realize how much it means to get packages from the good U.S.A." Mrs. White discovered that the dollar sign was the solution to the problem of fueling the Chevrolet she shipped abroad to facilitate travel. "In the beginning I could not get petroleum (I mean gasoline) but now get some more as I am a 'foreigner' and pay in dollars. That is the only thing that counts, dollars. I guess it is all over the world like that, but especially in Europa." The Whites sailed for Rio de Janeiro Friday and expect to return to this country before the first of the year. "Look for a little bungalow, a little home," Elsita told her friends. "I am dreaming of that day when I will return to my beloved Coral Gables, city of beauty and charm, but most of all to my good friends."
