HERE COMES THE BRIDE, not down the aisle, but on the head of Mrs. Rafael Cabrera, 1426 Baracoa Ave., whose original hat won first place in a recent Coral Gables Welcome Wagon con-test. Highlighting the hat was a doll, dressed as a bride and complete with bouquet. Swirling about the bride were voluminous quantities of lace and silk, accentuated by ribbons.

ONE STEP BEYOND into the twilight zone, that's what Marion Chisholm took recently when her notched second place in the Welcome Wagon's contest. Her circular hat had, at center, a white water bearer with a giant-sized pitcher among star-studded, green angel hair. Around the hat's periphery were the different signs of the zodiac. Mrs. Chisholm lives at 3301 Crystal Ct.

BULL IN A DAISY PATCH? They said it couldn't be done. But Mrs. Lettie Jahnig, 429 Flu-ta Ave., did it during the Welcome Wagon's hat contest. She took a bull used in the home as aknick-knack, placed it in a verdant jungle of green mesh, sprinkled daisies here and there—and came up wtih third place honors.

Pi Beta Phi Sets Annual Coffee Date

Mrs. Edward S. Christainsen, 6512 Riviera Dr., will open her home next Thursday for the annual coffee, local alumnae of Pi Beta Phi fraternity will sponsor. The hours are from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Nov. 3, and the pur-poses of the benefit are two-fold: to entertain friends of the fraternity and to present to them the national philanthropic project. Mrs. Fred C. Meadows, 5663 Michelango, and Mrs. W. C. Goff, 11835 SW 91st Ave., are chairmen of the coffee. Founded in 1867 Pi Beta Phi, founded in 1867 at Monmouth College, Ill., was the first national fraternity to establish an altruistic project. Its settlement school located at Gat-linburg, Tenn., was established in 1912 in honor of the founders and founding of Pi Beta Phi. The school started with 14 pupils and now has an enroll-ment of 607. The county now leases for $1 a year the 78 acres and 12 buildings owned by the fraternity. Pi Beta Phi pays the salaries of the teachers in music, arts, crafts, woodworking and journalism. The fraternity provides hous-ing for 20 students who help pay for their room and board by do-ing chores. Services include a health center and arrowcraft shop. Mrs. C. H. Summers, 6011 Cellini Ave., is a member of the National Settlement School Committee. In 1960, students ranging in ages 18 to 80 came from 22 states and three foreign coun-tries. The 48 years of growth enjoyed by this memorial has been solely supported by volun-tary contributions made by the fraternity's 300 alumnae clubs and 104 chapters throughout the United States and Canada.
