Gables Girls Become Brides In Church Rites Here

MISS DOROTHY JANICE RICHEY IS BRIDE IN PICTURE CEREMONY AT PLYMOUTH CHURCH

The medieval atmosphere of the old stone Plymouth Church in Coconut Grove made a perfect setting for the medieval type wedding gown chosen by Miss Dorothy Janice Richey and the gowns of her attendants at her Saturday marriage to Joseph Garret Heard III. A rose theme, in deference to the bridegroom's fraternity, Sigma Chi, was used throughout in decorations. White roses, ivy and palms decorated the chancel of the church and roses and candles tied with white satin ribbon marked the pews. The Rev. David Davis read the service. The bride, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert F. Richey of 330 Avenue Menores wore ivory satin as she was given in marriage by her father. The skirt was made with panniers, the tiny waist accented by the broad shoulder cape. Long sleeves pointed at the wrist, and a graceful short train were details. Her long veil fell from a Queen Anne hat with shorter veil at the sides. The bridal bouquet was white roses and stephanotis. Miss Ann Douglas Richey was maid-of-honor for her sister and Miss Beverly Heard, sister of the groom, was bridesmaid. The two attendants, tall and blonde like the bride, wore gowns of faille fashioned alike. Long pointed-at-the waist bodice were details of the fitted basques of the gowns whose full skirts swept the floor. Miss Richey was in ivy green and Miss Heard in water lily green. Matching headbands with a rose at either side of the head completed their costumes. They carried oversize bouquets of American Beauty roses, cascading in streamers down the front of their gowns. Lowell Veech was best man for Mr. Heard and ushers included Merle Perry, Paul Ronelle, Don Lindblom, Gene Ely, William Joyce and Edward Newbold. The bride's mother wore an American Beauty crepe formal with a matching feather toque and pale pink roses corsage. The bridegroom's mother was attired in sunset crepe formal with brown accessories and brown feather hat. A Talisman rose corsage completed her ensemble. Gown in rainbow colors decorated the home for the reception following. Miss Ann Oldacre, a cousin, and Mrs. Henrietta Obean, an aunt of Mrs. Richey's, assisted. Miss Martha Martin kept the bride's book. For a honeymoon trip south by plane the bride changed to a Burlington suit with black accessories, and white rose corsage. Upon their return the couple will reside in an apartment on Poinciana Avenue, Coconut Grove. Graduation from college and marriage came to the pretty bride within one week. She was graduated on December 20th from Florida State University, where she won many scholastic honors. She was a member of Mortar Board and was marshal of her graduating class. Mr. Heard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Garret Heard, Jr., of Coconut Grove, is a graduate of the University of Miami where he was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity. He is completing his law courses at his alma mater. Mrs. Joseph Garret Heard III -Photo by Le Man

University Bachelors Consume 170 Pounds of Xmas Turkey

Two hundred and fifty bachelor students of the University of Miami got well "fowled up" despite the fact they couldn't go home for Christmas dinner. "I can hardly believe the statistics myself," admitted Mrs. Pauline Daniel, president of the Damon Runyan Post, American Legion Auxiliary, which joined with the student Wives Club to feed the lonely bachelors. "They ate 170 pounds of turkey, 160 pounds of potatoes, and 90 loaves of bread!" she revealed today after taking inventory. All food was donated by Coral Gables, Miami Springs and Miami grocery and meat concerns. "But that's only half of it- the student wives baked 40 pies and cakes; four huge stalks of bananas hung from the dining hall rafters; and ten bushels of fruit were on hand for our dinner guests," she reported. The dinner, cooked and served by the seventy auxiliary members and student wives was held at College Hall of the Student-Veterans Village at 20th Street and Le Jeune Road. "We had expected perhaps a hundred," Mrs. Daniel said. "There wasn't so much as a gizzard left!" The day got off to a Yuletide start when a generous potion of eggnog, left over from a party, was sent over to the students. Guests and hosts sang Christmas carols around a 14-foot tree set up by Sigma Kappa fraternity while waiting for the giblet gravy to be made. "After dinner guests assigned themselves to K.P. and everyone pitched in to help wash the dishes and clean up," said the auxiliary president. "It was a howling success!"

University Club Groups Chart Plans for '48

Weaving will be on the New Year's agenda for the Home Arts Department of the University Woman's Club-but the ladies have neither rugs nor blankets in mind. Colorful hand-woven bags to match spring costumes will be the goal when department members gather at the home of Mrs. J. Riley Staats, 1341 N. W. 7th Street on Wednesday, January 7th.

Franklin Williams is acting chairman of the group that will meet to plan a program morning for the first work session of the New Year.

Maynard Keech, who has been re-elected chairman. Every effort will be turned toward a display of needlework planned for the spring.
