and the Karl Agricolas have
glimpsed her. However, she will
probably be much in evidence by
the time this goes into print since
she's on the guest list for the
cocktail party Friday night at FIT.

hostess. And also she'll be at the
East Martelle gallery. Jeanne will
probably have some of her abstract
oils entered. This morning Dixie
Cooley dropped in and bought

of her water color show.

papers with writeups about her
cousin, Mrs. Ben Schulberg whose
portrait and story to go with it
were a recent feature. Mrs. Car
rol was at the delightful Thursday
evening cocktail party given for
Admiral E. H. Won Heimnerg by
Capt. and Mrs. William H. Trues-
dell. Admiral Irving T Duke and
his wife and daughter Terry were
there in the reception line also.
Did anyone ever tell Mrs. Duke
she looks like Billie Burke, famous
actress? Jack English and Bill
Wells exchanged some Scotch re-
marks over an item which appear

ADMIRAL Won HEIMBERG is
tall man and kept humping his
head on the string of colored
lights which made the outdoor
affair gala and bright. He also
has flashing appreciation of hu-
NOR. He aSid that Chief Osborne
on The Big Wheel was pleased as
punch about getting sailfish after
they had been out only Is minutes
or so. Adm. Won Heimberg said,
"We went out just before 8 o'clock
and by 8:15 / had sailfish. 1t
was my first one and I'm having
it mounted in Miami. It might NOT
have been as big as some of the
ones caught around here. I'd say
it was about five feet long, and an
inch or so over. But it was great
for me as my first sailfish. Hinkle
of the Big Wheel was right. The
fish was diplomatic. 1t picked the
right line out of the four we had
out!" Admiral Won Heimberg was
so enthusiastic that he planned to
go out again on Friday. He doesn't
leave until Monday and the hope
Is that he can bring in another.
He said they did everything with
ceremony after the catch. "They
broke out the flag that procIaims
catching a sail, and all that. It's
a great sport, and bringing a big
fish alongside and up intact is
part of the fun" Come to think
of it, Ernest Hemingway's latest
and marvellous story is about sail
fishing and how hard it is to save
catch from sharks.
