VIEWING THE MAGIC CITY
Mr.. George Robinson, chubby of
Mrs. Leola Carey ROBINSON is down
from Norfolk, Va. to spend a few
days. Mrs. Robinson's very broad
smiles are certainly evidence that
she's oh so very happy. Mrs. F.
Straughn and houseguest, Mrs. Ka-
tie Piott are visiting friends in Key
West.
Enjoying the races at Gulfstream
Tuesday were Mrs. Wilhelmina
Gum of West Palm Beach Mrs.
Ingram of Cincinnati, Mrs. Mac
Franklin Taylor and Mrs. Annie
Lindsey. If broad smiles mean any
thing I'm sure horses came in.
DR.. and Mrs. w. A. Campbell and
sons, Eugene and Boots of Tallahas-
see, spent brief stay in our city.
While here the Campbells were
houseguests of Mrs. Campbell's
mother on Fifth Place-Mrs. Maude
Sands. Accompanying the party
were the mother, uncle and friend
of DR.. Campbeli's. While here they
did a bit of sightseeing and had
''fun time" at the Gulfstream. The
party returned to Tallahassee ON
Wednesday morning.
The New York Cubans checked
in at the Mary Elizabeth on Tues
day evening for an engagement
here. Mr.. Valdez of Miami is a rela-
tive of the manager and his wife,
Mr.. and Mrs. Fernandez. Mr.. Valdez
went "all OUT to extend cordial
welcome and courtesies to the en-
tire group.
