Mrs. Friedman Host To SEOA Auxiliary

Gables members of the Southeastern Optometrics Association Auxiliary will go to Mrs. A. F. Friedman's home on 2340 S. W. 25th Avenue tonight at 8 p. m. for the regular monthly meeting of the auxiliary. Plans for giving Christmas toys to needy children will be discussed. Mrs. J. M. Weddershim will preside in the absence of the president, Mrs. Joseph Arias.

GABLEITES PLAY ROLE OF HOST; GO VISITING

December 15th is the date on which Portland, Oregon guests will arrive at the George N. Murdock home at 608 Avenue Altara. Coming down to stay with the Murdocks through the Christmas holidays are Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Kiddle. In honor of Mrs. Sydney Pendexter, houseguest of Dr. and Mrs. Clyde F. Smith, a bridge luncheon was given recently at the home of Mrs. E. T. Parkinson, 741 North Greenway Drive. Assisting Mrs. Parkinson in entertaining the twelve guests present were Mrs. Ernestine Tylee and Mrs. John D. Carmody. Mrs. Pendexter is from Washington, D.C. The Keys and fishing are synonymous but not so with the W. O. Snyders who drove down there recently to spend a day with Murcherson Walker. Instead of fish, their objective was dinner served promptly at 4 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Greene, who move today from Coral Gables to Lake Wales, Fla., and Dr. and Mrs. Harold Dalgleish, of Salt Lake City, Utah, were Thanksgiving dinner guests of the Lynn Perrys. The Perrys live at 1924 Ferdinand Street. All that Mrs. A. B. Morrison is waiting for is a warm, sunshiny day. The Gables woman, who lives at 1408 Avenue Castile, has been confined to her home by illness. She was told she could venture out again last Friday-but the cheerful news and dour, chill weather arrived simultaneously.

INTRODUCING THE SOROPTIMISTS | Summer Tour of States, Canada Becomes 'Chef's Holiday' for Noted Gables Caterer

Fussing with food and not people brought funds and friends to Mrs. Bess Jones, caterer in Coral Gables, Soroptimist charter member and another personality in the Riviera-Times stories of career women. Mrs. Jones feels she was born to her career. She began in a small way, making sandwiches for her friends for their parties. "I liked to try new materials, new ways of cutting and serving sandwiches and cakes, just because it interested me" this motherly looking woman told your interviewer. "And I found a ready market among the club and socially busy women of Coral Gables. In fact 'let Mrs. Jones do it' must have spread judging from the telephone calls I would get from perfect strangers," she says. Because she is always on the lookout for that "new" touch, Mrs. Jones, her husband and daughter Catherine took a long trip north this summer. It was the first one in 25 years for Mr. and Mrs. Jones. They visited Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, where they lived for a number of years following their marriage. The day they revisited Lake Louise was 35 years to the very day they had last seen the beautiful mountain resort, she said. While in the North, Mrs. Jones attended the Fanny Farmer school of cookery in Boston and took a special lesson from Mrs. Crabbill, specialist in Parisian cookery. But her biggest thrill came from watching a master of the art in decorating wedding cakes in Dallas, Texas. This person, Mrs. Jones said made white orchids out of the icing that were 'simply out of this world.' Contrasting completely yet in demand were the colored sugar cake ornaments she saw made in New Orleans. "These colored sugar ornaments, made by a Creole cook were so fragile that you almost had to hold your breath while admiring the work, for fear the slightest movement would shatter the creation," Mrs. Jones said. No one has ever been able to copy this master's work, she added. Mr. and Mrs. Jones have been Floridians since 1922. Their home is at 908 Avenue Mariana.

He Remembered Date; Set for Thursday | She Got New Car

A new Cadillac, a big doll, and the removal of a hip cast will make Mrs. George J. Gerson remember her eighteenth anniversary many years hence. The Cadillac was given to her by her husband, who, untypically, didn't forget that their anniversary was Friday. The doll, which opens and closes its eyes and says "Mama", was a gift of one of Dr. Gerson's patients. Mrs. Gerson says that she never owned such a nice doll even when she was a little girl. As for the cast, which was put on seven weeks ago when Mrs. Gerson broke her leg, it's anyone's for the asking! The Gersons live at 1128 Cordova Street.

Supper, Sale Set for Thursday

Once every year the Wesley Fellowship Class of the First Methodist Church holds a bazaar, usually as the Christmas season approaches. This year the annual supper and sale will take place from 4 to 10 p.m. Thursday in the recreation hall. A snack bar offering hot "dogs" and plenty of hot coffee will be the order of supper, among other foods. Mrs. Roy Bovard will have charge of the snacks and Mrs. B. H. Hindman, donuts and coffee. Mrs. William Bails is general chairman. Assistants include Mrs. Roger Eikenberry, sewing; Mrs. Ernest B. Arnold, crafts; Mrs. Wilbur Brewer, baked goods and Mrs. Fred J. Popham, white elephants.

Church Lounge to Be Site For Traditional Event Given By Congregational Women

The Thursday Guild of the Coral Gables Congregational Church will give its traditional Christmas bazaar Wednesday in the lounge. The displays will be ready at 3 p. m. with dinner at six. Mrs. Frederick Cann, president of the guild is being assisted by Mrs. Creed Carrico, chairman of ways and means and Mrs. David Barnes, general chairman. Mrs. L. K. Denning and Mrs. Zilah Holmes will have charge of the apron table and Mrs. H. W. Grubbs and Mrs. Clarence Van Cannon will direct sale of white elephants. Mrs. Alfred O'Dell and Mrs. Alice Wells will operate the ready-to-wear booth and Mrs. Frederick Cann and Mrs. Ethel Nichols, linens. Mrs. Douglas Atkinson and Miss Elizabeth Henderson will have the display of woolens and Mrs. Fred Sargent and Mrs. Eva Dodge the table of sweets. Potted plants will be shown by Mrs. W. B. Drennon and Mrs. Roy Pavy. Miss Jackie Cann and Miss Jackie Cordes will have the fish pond and Mrs. George Pawley the fortune telling. Mrs. Leland Terry, Mrs. Francis Stewart and Mrs. Ida Walker will be in charge of the dinner menu.

Pat's Three!

Seven tiny guests helped Pat Coleman, son of the H. J. Colemans of 16 Avenue Santillane, celebrate his third birthday yesterday. Of course his birthday is really today but his guests didn't seem to object to a premature celebration. Prizes were awarded for pinning an ornament the closest to the star on the top of a cardboard Christmas tree, and for dropping the most clothes pins in a milk bottle. Among guests present were Robert and Rebecca Shelley, Teddy Styles, Tommy Brougham, Billy Sands, Judy Eads, and Bruce Byers.

CLUB HONORS NEW MEMBERS

The executive board of the Coral Gables Woman's Club will meet at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at the club with Mrs. William Cox, president, presiding at the session. Promptly at 12:30 a luncheon honoring new, transfers and reinstated members will take place. New members include Mrs. C. G. Young, Mrs. George S. Okell, Mrs. Robert Ackman, Mrs. J. S. Morris, Mrs. Willard A. Nicholson, Mrs. W. B. Inman Jr., Mrs. E. Homer Stone, Mrs. W. H. Lee, Mrs. W. C. Parry, Mrs. Edward Lawler, Mrs. Colin Treft. Mrs. Charles J. Susong, of Homestead, former member and 1941-42 president, has been reinstated as a member, as has Mrs. Edward Hudson who has resided in New York for the past year. Mrs. H. T. Ackerman and Mrs. Lewis Edwards are transfers.

Illinois Guest Visits Havana

A trip to Havana was arranged by the Donald Reeds as part of the entertainment for their house guest, Miss Juanita Maddox, from Harrisburg, Illinois. During the 36 hours she spent in Havana, Miss Maddox stayed at the home of some of the Reeds' friends, Margarita Belanos de Vazquez and family. With only three days remaining before Miss Maddox returns to Harrisburg, she intends to take in a few races as well as a little more sunshine. Part of this sunshine she hopes will be shining over Venetian pool Wednesday when she plans to spend the day there and complete her "muy deseado" Florida suntan.

Races Reunited With Daughter By Long Distance

One of their family was missing when the Frank B. Races celebrated their Thanksgiving at the Race home, 4409 Avenue Santa Maria Thursday-but she was only a phone call away. Mr. and Mrs. Race sent a holiday telegram to their daughter, Margaret, and timed it to arrive just as she was dining with friends at the Metropolitan Club in New York City. "Less than an hour later she telephoned back to us from her hotel-so we had a family get-together by long distance anyhow," said Mrs. Race. Pretty Margaret, a member of the cast of "The Good Road," a review sponsored by the Moral Re-Armament Movement, had lots of exciting news. At conclusion of the New York run, which has been playing to Standing Room Only audiences, the show will go on to Montreal for several performances and then will tour Canada. Later this month the Races will go north to join their daughter for the Christmas holidays.

Coco Plum Club to Discuss Plans For Traditional 'Holly-Day' Party

Consideration of events to come will concern members of the Coco Plum Woman's Club when a general business meeting is convened Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 at the clubhouse. And neither Mrs. C. Ernest Snyder, president, nor members require a crystal ball to learn that the most immediate matter on the agenda is the annual Christmas party presented by the group. Plans for the traditional event and appointment of committees to insure Christmas cheer for all, will be the first order of business. Mrs. Snyder has also asked all department chairman of the club to be prepared to give reports on activities of the individual committees. Chairmen and the membership at large will be asked for suggestions toward facilitating accomplishment of the heavy Winter and Spring club program. The general session will be preceded by an executive board meeting at 1 p.m. Hostesses for the day will include Mrs. Frank J. Chase, chairman; Mrs. W. E. Angerman, Sr., Mrs. Beverly Peacock Sr., Mrs. Burton Foster, Mr. M. H. Grant and Mrs. J. C. Gramley.

Auxiliaries Meet

Two chapter meetings of the Woman's Auxiliary of St. Philip's Episcopal church have been called for tomorrow. The March-September chapter will meet at 10 a. m. at the home of Mrs. James E.
