Miami Will Lack
Wartime Aviators
In Coming Season
Prominent Civilians From
Seven Continents, How
ever, Promise to Enliven
Winter at Florida Coast

Specid; Correspondence
MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 13.-For the first
time in several seasons aviators will
play minor role at Miami's social fes-
tlvities scheduled throughout the winter.
Hotel bathrooms for three seasons have
lured uniformed men to such an extent
that the military atmosphere dominated.
Scattered about the spacious palm
Dordered floor are seen notables from
seven continents who have sought a
prlef respite from arduous service in
balmy Miami. Talking to Cuban sugar
planters daughter is an attache repre-
senting one of the worlds newest repub-
lies, Czecho-Slovakia, who slipped down
from Washington for few days relaxa-
ton. Before accepting the diplomatic
post. he had fought valiantly in Siberia.
Across from this pair sits an Australian
ranchman and his wife. Somewhat CO.
verify, he is admiring the romantic ac-
cents Of Dona Inez Guilla, an Amazon
belle before her marriage to the Maneos
rubber king. American manufacturing
princes and capitalists are here in
abundance, while occasionally an official
in horizon blue or green gldes by with
slender debutante. With such per-
sonages much in evidence, the exit from
the dancing arena of Uncle Sans avia-
tors has caused scarcely ripple.
Flying Boats Make Deliveries
The flying boats recently landed in
Biscayne Bay to deliver the first con-
slgnment of commercial goods to be
shipped to Miami by airplane The voy-
age was an outgrowth of New York's
longshoremen's strike. The planes have
made 1873 deliveries since leaving New
York. The seaplanes left here for Key
West and Havana, after which they will
remain in Miami for the season.

day afternoon after her owners, Thom-
as c. Parsons and Joseph F. Dechart, of
