Gablegrams

by helen reynolds society editor. They play bridge twice a month, once at each other's homes and once at the Coral Gables Country Club, taking turns. Thursday, it was Eve (Mrs. Joseph H.) Murphy's turn as hostess and Eve told us that the group has been meeting for the past two years. The young housewives are: Mrs. Eileen Brake, Mrs. Betty Price, Mrs. Betty Greenblatt, Mrs. Mary Hoag, Mrs. Betty Horton, Mrs. Hazel Rogers and Mrs. Joan Sempi. The group played in the second floor lounge of the club's new swimming pool. Mrs. Brake, incidentally is Eve's sister-in-law. We remembered Eileen Murphy because we wrote up her wedding to Robert M. Brake as it was the first wedding in the new Church of the Little Flower, built in 1952. The Brakes have two children, Dauny, 7, and Katrina, 6. As for Eve, she and Joe have eight children. The oldest a boy, Joe, is nine; the youngest a girl, Patricia, is eight months old. In between are Mary Ann, Kathleen, Eve, Mike Janice and Judy. Mamma Eve had her hands full Friday when we called. She had just returned from St. Phillip's kindergarden, where she entered Mary Ann for her first step in schooling and found husband Joe in a tizzy for breakfast since he had a 9 a.m. appointment in his law office. * * * The Singing Hurricanes will be the added attraction Saturday at the Coral Gables Country Club's buffet dinner, 7 to 9 p.m. dancing party. Under the direction of Glenn Draper, this is a talented group of 18 students who toured Europe for seven weeks this summer. Featured among many acts will be a barbershop quartet and girls' trio, also a comedy team and the Miami Rockette line. Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Lau are chairmen, assisted by Dr. and Mrs. Wallace Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Phil Regan, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Watrous, and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Wilkaitis.

Mrs. Jones Said Yes, And Is Delighted That She Did

The next time the Council for International Visitors calls on Mrs. Ernest Jones, 738 Santander Ave., to meet a foreigner from South America she'll say "yes" again. Director of the council, Betty Kirk, asked Mrs. Jones to meet the plane from Caracas, Venezuela at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday and welcome first-time visitors to this country, Dr. and Mrs. Theodore Blanco and their two children, two and seven. The plane arrived four hours late — at 5:30. But Mrs. Jones waited. She's glad she did. "It floored me to find that the man was going to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md., to do research for a master's degree in structural engineering. I thought he was a doctor of medicine," she said. "He spoke English very well but his wife spoke German. And so did the children. They had luggage galore and all of them were hot and tired. "I'm glad I did meet them now. It was worth every minute of waiting. They were so appreciative and grateful. "They couldn't get over the idea that a total stranger would take the time to meet them and transport them to their hotel on Miami Beach where they were going to spend a two day stop-over. "When I left them I made them promise to write me a card and let me know how they were making out. It was quite an experience. And I feel good about it. It is a nice feeling to be friendly."
