by helen reynolds society editor Jorge Rosell, 15-year-old sopohomore at Coral Gables High School and his parents came to Coral Gables three years ago from Cuba. He has invited many of his friends to attend the Hawaiian party he is giving Saturday night at the Venetian Pool. Guests will wear Hawaiian costumes. Decorations will include gift leis to each of the 250 guests. There will be an Hawaiian orchestra for dancing and the party hours are from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Fresh flower arrangements (Hawaiian) will also be used. Jorge will be assisted by classmates Helen Motion, Elena Conill and Vivian Greer. Chaperones include Mrs. Rozanna Smith, Mrs. Iris Parker and the young host's mother, Mrs. Ledia Rosell. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Weiss, 4820 Orduna, will honor Dr. D. L. Eilers, president of the World Insurance Co., and Mrs. Eilers with a Hawaiian luau Saturday evening. About 100 guests, including business representatives of the insurance company who are in town for the company's annual convention, will attend. Ernest Kaai, Hawaiian master of the luau, will prepare the food an make the hors d'oeuvers. And he will prepare the Hawaiian "luv luv" consisting of rum and champagne to be served native style in fresh coconut shells containing the white meat of the nut. * * * A cute little purple Christmas card from England, dated Nov. 15 and picturing a white Scotch terrier wearing a Scotch plaid tam-o-shanter and holding a large spray af Christmas holly in his fuzzy mouth, reached The Times this week. It was from Olga Santini Berger and her husband Isadore Berger of Coral Gables. The Bergers left in June for Europe and have been in London since August where they enjoyed visiting old haunts and reliving memories for Isadore who played with the Queens Hall Orchestra in 1907. However, England lives up to its name of being a bit damp and foggy and they will be welcoming Coral Gables sunshine when they return this week to their home. New members for the Opera Guild of Greater Miami is the latest "wrinkle" for the unwrinkled brows of the Young Patronesses of the Opera. To that end they will have a brunch Friday, Dec. 9 at the home of Mrs. Anthony Abraham on South Alhambra Cir. All members of the YPO are invited to the 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. affair The catch? Each member is to bring a prospective member for the Opera Guild. The Young Patroness securing the most memberships will be presented a 14 karat gold charm by Mrs. Walter M. Pierce, chairman of the reception committee, brunch chairman and donor of the charm. Mrs. Frank (Marilyn) Pearce, local vocalist and a member of the committee, will sing. Mrs. Tom Raffington will register the guests and Mrs. H. H. Groskloss is in charge of invitations.
