Mrs. B. Edward Wood, 4304 University Dr., ate two luncheons Thursday, that is at least she tried. She was hostess at 11 a.m. for the final "tasters" smorgasbord of the International Smorgasbord and Traveler Group of the Miami Woman's Club, and at 1 p.m. she attended the luncheon of the Southern Cross Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, at the Riviera Country Club. All that, including a party she and her husband gave the night before for their teenage son, and the one planned she said, for Friday night for their teenage daughter. At least 50 members and guests attended the smorgasbord and tasted such Swedish concoctions as tiny meat balls, tiny slices of all kinds of fish (mainstay in the Scandinavian countries), homemade Swedish rolls served with tiny fancy butter balls, and for desert a luscious two layer cake iced with a whipped cream crusty topping that melted in your mouth. Tuesday, April 4, the International Smogasbord and Travelers Club will present their masterpiece at the Miami Woman's Club for all members and their guests to see and eat. As for the travel talks, an amusing incident happened in Prussia to Mrs. John Norman before her marriage and where she met her husband-to-be. As a girl in her teens she visited relatives there and went horseback riding. Now, Mrs. Norman said, "No lady ever rode astride in Prussia, and I created quite a stir." Mrs. John Gifford told of her recent trip to Germany to visit her daughter and family. She said the streets and boulevards of Berlin are well kept, the buildings modern and beautiful. The German people do not stress church, but cultivate the arts, music, books and the opera. Hitler's name is never mentioned, and the young children in the schools will never find his name in the history text books.

KIN OF THE REFORMATION LEADER

Mr. and Mrs. Martin Luther Shaw Jr., 5860 SW 126th Ter., are proud of the honorable and historic name their family possesses, and for which traces of kin were established six generations ago. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw are the parents of two, Carol Fairfax Shaw, a college graduate, and Martin Luther Shaw III, who will graduate in June from Palmetto High School and who is a member of the Junior Assembly. Mrs. Shaw, the former Emilie Fairfax Murphey, traces her family back to the Louisiana Fairfaxes. And the Shaw's have a yacht, "Susie II" tied up at the Kings Bay Yacht and Country Club where they are members.

LOOK FOR THE GOLDEN EGG

Dressel's Dairy grounds and playhouse will be the setting Wednesday for the Coral Gables Junior Woman's Club's annual Easter egg hunt for the children of members. Mrs. John R. Wilkie will be dressed as the Easter Bunny and prizes for the hunters will include a double to the one who finds the Golden egg.
