Miami, Fla~-Mean0er1ng Barr
 ney Gallant, who ought to know,
 tells me the one sure way for, (
 stranger to find an address around
 here: Go to telegraph office and
 send a message: "Will arrice shorts
 ly.. Then trail the messenger boy.
 Jack Pearl and Lou Holtz, on
 the beach at Deauville q won't
 call 1t beautiful. Deauville again),
 tell me I've been missing some
 good shows on Broadway, but not
 much else. Wonder why the
 Californians here seem 50 shy
 about admitting their nativity.
 Jane. Knight, who has found ro-
 nance under these palms before,
 is expected any day by the playboy
 brigade. And Harry Richman is
 bringing himself, his lisping songs,
 two airplanes and $5000-a-week
 contract with the Beach and Tennis
 club. It will be $4000 8 week for
 Lucienne Boyer if she comes to
 the Embassy club to compete with
 Helen Morgan in witsful warbling.'
 Celebrity Liars
 Things like: The autogyro that
 plies between the Miami Biltmore and the Roney Plaza, over the blue-
 green bay, the man-made islands, the high-walled estates. Conch chowder, stone crabs and avoca-
 dos. The late James Deering's villa Vizcaya, most luxurious estate in America. Sophie Tucker shouting
 her only standby, Some of These Days" The tea dances, full of fresh-faced youngsters, at the Ro- ney. And its Cafe de rOpera. The decorations of the Forge club, with graceful tin palm trees and lacy iron grillwork from the hand of J. Marquette Phillips, who has his
 studio upstairs. To be even on the fringes of the
 social swim down here one must have a cabana. A cabana is hut on the beach, and may vary in size from box stall to two-room
 cottage. Because they open on the boardwalks with approximately the privacy of a department store window, 1t is. desirable to lure as many celebrities as possible to to strolling columnists, however. I have thus spied Mrs John Hay Whitney, Mrs Isabel Dodge Sloane, Sailing Baruch, Bernard Gimbol, Joseph l.. Widener, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, Nunnally Johnson, Ed- die Cantor Cooking so solemn)s Casey Lambert, Clare Booth Bros fkaw and the eye-filling Carols Lombard.
 Good From Illness
 Found Willard Kran, the bridge expert turned distiller, at the Per- petuai Motion club. With his bride
 of last August, Princess Lili Dow did off. That was Whitney Bourne with young Vanderbilt at the Palm Island club. And scarce- ly kne wher, she's looking so much better since her illness. :. No nu- dist colonies in these parts this season. But now there's an attempt | to organize one, with some fairly weli-known people on the list or prospects.
 Earl Carroll has, whatever else. ! Q keen sense of social tone. Hls young ladies are forbidden tohgo about with musicians, gamblers men. Also they're obliged to wear evening gowns while going to and from the club. He calls all his girls sweets. Which is easier, at that, than remembering names scuh as Vilii Milf and Gay Orlova. Musicians may not be proper company for Carroll cuties, but some of them fare well enough in society. I seem to recall that Vim cent Lopez and Clarabelle Walsh long have been friends. Also Ed- die Duchin and Marjorie Oelrichs.. And the other day mentioned the palship of Barbara Hutton and Billy Mann.
