The table settings in artistic arrangement at the Flower Show
Which dosed last night could have been entered in e photographic
layout for any of the smarter home magazines and win, plates down,
goblita up. One of the most striking was the blue ribbon winner,
*Tih Supper,” into which Mrs. C. M. Downey introduced crystalline
tilabow huee with Venetian glass carp objects d’art, Italian plates
in the shape of colored fish, with the entire display set on a char
treuse end white cloth. .

•Iso won a blue award, was en
tered by Hr. and Mrs. Ralph Dick
eon. Dazzling white linen and or
nate silver plates, bowls, dinner
ware and 'Over candelabra,
gleamed around a centerpiece of
Vose-red hibiscus.
Modern note was sounded in the
dinner table setting which won the
•utstanding ribbon in this exhibit.
Mrs. Irving T. Duke utilized tones
of ember, deep topaz, gold, fawn
and brown with white on a brown
cloth. A brass basket held gilded
fruit to point up the masterpiece.
A vivacious breakfast setting,
arranged by Mrs. Joseph Toth,
captured a blue ribbon. A plain
green doth wes in effective con
trast to the butter-cup yellow at
the breakfast dishes. A touch of
red in the green centerpiece was
provided by earrissa fruit.
Mrs. Joseph Bettinger was giv
en e winning ribbon for he.‘ Ha
waiian motif table. A finely strung
flower Id wes draped below e
woven coconut straw bet with e

nate rose end royal blue luncheon
service on an ashes of roses hand*
made cloth, won a second prize
for Mrs. H. J. Steinbreder who
chose Venetian inspiration for her
table setting.
Less elaborate, but with keynote
of versatility, was the display in the
"For Men Only” exhibit. William
Braddy took the blue with e cor
nucopia straw basket forming a
mask-head. Eyes were made of
grapes, the noae was a small
squash, the mouth a radish, and
long earrings of squash and rad
ishes dangled from the basket
handle ears. A pineapple with a
flaunting hibiscus crowned the top.
The necklace of radishes was con
tributed by Neil (Tony) Certer.
George Renne supervised the
group.
The miniature shadow boxes
created much comment. There
seemed to be some difference of
opinion as to whether these en
tries were to have or not to have
highlighting accessories. At any
rate, the judges must have been
in a dither when decisions had to
be made, for the exhibit, both in
tricate and simple, was based on
a wedding theme of bridal bou
quata and the anniversariat of
wood, crystal, pearl, china and
silver. The various categories
were expanded so that sheila, fib
er, other metals besides silver tad
pottery could be used.
The entire exhibit, ehairmaned
by Mrs. Lee Goddard, won e tri
color ribbon through Mrs. Paul
Miller’s pearl anniversary artis
try This featured an upturned
shell filled with tiny white blos
soms placed on a wooden carved
stand or table a few inches in
height. Tucked under this were
white satin streamers with three
pearl beads on the ends. The back
ground was an embroldarad cut
out with gay flowers in rod and
bluo with poarl studded contort.
Loo Albert designed i piece of
ebony driftwood outlined with
shells and pearls, Mrs. James
Foresmtn entered e simple piece
of ailvor-gray driftwood with
fringe of poinaettia end white
periwinkle with red dot centora
for the weed dess.
Mn. Let Goddard won e first
prise in the silver or metal dess
with tastefully done end spritoly
flower arrangement in a metal
container with e simple box lining
of seagreen rough toxturad fabric.
Mrs. Hugh Bredin was given
red ribbon for phlox flowers adorn
ing e sliver ship on a silver eee.
Third award was taken by Mrs.
Bruce E. Bradley. She lined the
Rhadowbox with purple velvet and
Coral Vine spilled out of a silver
jewelbox. Mrs. Joseph Lazarovici
exhibited a rich creation of tapes
try background, emblazoned medal
container and flowers in matching
hues to carry out the brocade pat
tern.
In the china anniversary divi
sion, Mrs. Deiio Cobo captured e
blue ribbon for her picture study
of e Victorian room complete with
period table, lace curtains fram
ing e window, flowered wallpaper
and a vase with clustered trum
petshaped flowers, which looked
like tmy tuberoses. .
Mr*. Guy Carletnn won a first
in the wooden anniversary display
with dried grass and feathery pos
ies in a wooden container poised
on three scarlet match boaes.
Second ribbon went to Mrs. Har
old J. Reilly who created a har
vest effect by filling a small fibre
basket with varitsated blossoms
and miniature fruits. The bo* ltn
inf was sheer black velvet,
Wood roses, libce lining and
shades of red. brown, beige and
yeilow were blended for Mrs

Cleaning up the Elks Annex
after the Garden Club Flower
Kiow is a Herculean task. On the
laat night spotted Joe Toth toting
loads of gadgets away from the
exhibit. Behind him came his wife,
picking up things that dropped
from his load. Someone who knows
orchids and how to steal them
without injuring the plants took a
thousand dollars werth of the ex
otic blooms from Mrs. A1 Mills
garden while she was at work in
the annex. 1 hope the thieves have
allergies and start sneezing their
beads off. . .and that reminds me
. . .any old gold dealer and jewel
ry ebops in the area can be on
the lookout for a weddingband
which belonged to my great-grand
mother who gave it to me when
I was two months old, saying this
is for “Little Roundhead” ... I
was nicknamed for her husband's
regiment. The plain gold circle is
engraved inside “S. N. Douthitt”
.. and I believe has an 1865 date.
That, my Aztec mesh necklace,
which Is only plated, and a big
rimmed modern wedding ring
which was locked around the heir
loom, and hung on a chain, and an
enameled pin, are missing from
my house. Whoever took the things
can have them all and no questions
asked if only they will Return the
old family wedding ring. It’s
medium in depth —and can’t be of
too much value except to me.

ilyn Darrell of “Look” magazine,
spent a honeymoon at the Casa
Marina, for example. This com
bination of quick look ought to
add up to something for “Life.”

Shavin whom I used to know from
Miami Daily News staff days, is
in town and live* at 421 United

scribbling or so about Johnny
,M<tyera’ recent appearance at the
Ov W. C. luncheon when he in
advertently selected Mrs. Boaz
and Mrs. Bradley as objects of
his attention when singing. - .and
