By HELEN REYNOLDS, SOCIETY EDITOR Mrs. Jack Branch Jr., is the inspiration for a bridge-luncheon Mrs. Stanley Fosgate will give tomorrow at her home, 609 Avenue Navarre. Twelve guests have been invited and the party is the first in a series of farewell parties planned for Mrs. Branch who is leaving the day after Christmas for her new home in Macon, Ga. Returning to Georgia to reside in the middle of winter won't be too hard for the Branches, as they originally came from Atlanta. Mr. Branch Jr., will be manager for the New York Life Insurance Company. Away on a shopping spree to Jamaica, B. W. I., is Mrs. Arthur E. Curtis of 987 Roderigo street. Accompanying Mrs. Curtis are Mrs. J. Kyle Ebersole and Mrs. John Canfield, of Miami Beach, the latter formerly of Coral Gables; Mrs. Della Hicks, Mrs. Charles Conner and Mrs. Ray Barlow. The sextet hopped off Saturday morning early by plane. In quest of Irish linens and woolens and native handcraft, the group also planned to put in a little ocean swimming and sightseeing in the mountains. They will return tomorrow. When it comes to a theme, the State Dental Assistants (association) know how to create one from a name. Take the name of their president Rose Horn of Coral Gables. At the recent St. Petersburg convention banquet honoring their president the girls used a huge golden horn of plenty as the central table decoration out of which spilled several dozen American Beauty Roses. Roses were used in profusion and the honor guest wore them as a corsage. And for the theme song or songs, they sang "Sweet Rosie O'Grady," "My Wild Irish Rose." First in a series of fall bridge-luncheons Mrs. Charles DeCamps is planning took place Friday when she entertained two tables. Guests included Mrs. J. H. Brock, Mrs. Stanley Fosgate, Mrs. Fay Caudell, Mrs. Donald Marion, Mrs. J. S. Hall, Mrs. Jack Branch, Mrs. Robert Kahler and Mrs. George Roerig. Mrs. William L. Huntley writes from the Palmer House, Chicago, Ill., where she is sojourning that of the two thrills watching snow fall, or witnessing the Army-Notre Dame football game she believed seeing the snow was the greater. Pretty white snow, the first she had seen in many years, fell all during her trip to South Bend and fell all during the exciting game in which Brennan caught the ball and ran 95 yards for a touchdown. Miss Lei Hard of Springfield, who is Mrs. Huntley's guest at the hotel attended the game with her and William L. (Bill) Huntley Jr. Following her stay in Chicago, Mrs. Huntley plans to go to Asheville, N. C., to await her husband who is big game hunting in the West.
