By Helen Reynolds | Don't let any one ever tell you a great group of women can't sing together. They sweetly sang "Joy to the World" yesterday as an opener at the combined meetings of the Coral Gables Woman's Garden and Music Clubs.

Two large silvered trees at the entrance to the clubrooms contrasted with two large green Christmas trees at either end of the platform.
