[[P]]an-American Flags Fly, Guests From Both Hemispheres Share Aviation Ball.

[Column 1]
Big Plane Is Symbol
        __________
'Everybody' Turns Out For Air Meet Climax (Except Miranda!)
        __________
BRIGHT FLAGS were unfurled--from this country and Pan American nations--in the Miami Biltmore Country club Saturday night when guests from the four corners of the earth met to dance at the Aviation Ball, grand social climax of the all-American air maneuvers in Miami.

A real honest-to-goodness plane (they had to take it apart to get it into the building) was suspended from the ceiling and plane models at each end of the ballroom symbolized the growing closeness of the two Americas. The only thing missing was South America's famed goodwill ambassadress, Carmen Miranda-but there was a Mexican [[d?ance?]] team to help amuse guests. 

Overhead flew the flags of the [[P]]an American nations, whose vivid [[c]]olors were reflected in the gowns [[o]]f the hundreds of feminine guests who had spent hours previous in [[pr]]eparation for this gala event.)

Marine code flags and brightly [[?]] flowers added to the general [[pa]]norama of color.

Mrs. Hollis Rinehart, jr., wife of [[th]]e general chairman of the ball, [[li]]ke many others, picked up the [[w]]hite of the Pan American flag in [[he]]r silk jersey gown fashioned on [[so]]ftly draped lines.

Riot of Color
All the gowns seen together, how[[e]]ver, presented a riot of color, with [[f]]eminine pulchritude evident in everything from the wildest firemen's red to the slinkiest siren black.

It was a night of flowers, too--in milady's hair, on her shoulders, her wrists--And furs, with fox and ermine leading the parade.

There was glitter galore--plenty of diamonds and gold jewelry, which was further emphasized by the gold braid of full dress uniforms worn by service officers.

Yes, it was a brilliant, breath[[ta]]king spectacle--but there wasn't [[m]]uch space to spare as the esti[[m]]ated 600 to 800 guests thronged [[the?]] place.

Most fun was evident at tables [[ar]]ranged for big parties. The Rine[[ha]]rts were seated with other com[[mi]]ttee members and their wives, [[ad]]ditional guests. Mr. and Mrs. [[Ch]]arles L. Sykes were noted with [[the?]] group, as were the Charles H. [[?]]kers (she was smart in black [[?]]e), Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Lynch, [[?]] Dr. and Mrs. Frederick Glass, [[?]] Bill Kindays, Mr. and Mrs. Carl [[La?]]mbert.

Mrs. Lynch was becomingly [[go]]wned as always. She chose pink [[?]]e worn with a garnet cape with [[sil]]k lining. Attractive touch was [[the?]] pair of long garnet and pearl [[ear]rings, clips to match. Cerise [[flo]]wers appliqued on Mrs. Sykes' [[?]]ck net matched the color of her [[slip?]]pers.

Shake Cocktails Earlier
Another merry crown of Miami-[[?]] followed an annual custom by [[at]]tending together, after first gathering for cocktails. In this group [[w]]ere the George C, Stemblers; Mr. [[a]]nd Mrs. Glenn H. Curtiss, 2d., (son [[o]]f the aviation pioneer); Mr. Curtiss' mother, Mrs. H. Sayre Wheeler, [[a]]nd Mr. Wheeler; Mr. and Mrs. J. [[?]] Pero, Dr. and Mrs. Thomas W. [[?]]utson and her sister, Mrs. H. Jack[[so]]n Freeland; Mrs. Florence Illig, [[M]]rs. Charles Parker, Mrs. Betty Sut[[to?]]n, Mrs. Buford H. Jones, the [[C]]harles F. Zeltners, Mr. and Mrs. [[?]] C. Genung, the G. Carl Adamses, [[th]]e Leonard F. Meeds, William Reeser.

J. Parker Van Zandt, Guatemala City and Washington, D. C., and Mrs Van Zandt were among the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Curtis. Mr. Van Zandt is a member of the Civil Aeronautics Administration and the two recently returned from a honeymoon trip by airplane around the world.

Capt. and Mrs. Marius Lodeesen, Port au Prince, Haiti, were at the same table as were Comdr. and Mrs. Gerald F. Bogan (he's the ranking officer at the naval air station in Opa-Locka; with Mrs. Bogan also attended the Army and Navy ball Friday night); Mr. and Mrs. W. Overton Snyder, Harold Christy, frequent visitor from Nassau, and Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Hollums.

She's From Paris
Mme. Cesar Chamay, Paris, France, was noted with the Jules Guillaumes (she is a guest in their Coral Gables home). Mrs. Isabel Bermudez, Mrs. Juanita Basabe and Rafael Urruela came in with Sebastian A. Gelabert.

Lieut. and Mrs. Earle S. Spangler were hosts at a cocktail party for 20 preceding the ball and came in late in the evening to share festivities. Judge and Mrs. S. Grover Morrow entertained Dr. and Mrs. Robert A. Crandall, the L. T. Lees, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Hadley.

Mr. and Mrs. Derby Thomas paused for a moment while dancing (as did many others) to glance up at the plane. They and Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Hulsman were guests of the W. George Kennedys.

Uniforms were a bright note in Comdr. and Mrs. E. J. Whitbeck's party. Lieut. and Mrs. J. E. Madacey, Lieut. and Mrs. K. P. Maley, Ensign and Mrs. J. A. Hyslop, Ensign and Mrs. E. C. Crosty were among their 20 guests.

Lieut. and Mrs. L. S. Boesch danced by. They entertained six guests. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Wickel came in with Lieut. and Mrs. J. P. Lunger. The Charles H. Crandons and Mr. and Mrs. R. Earl Smith were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hollis Bush.

Goes On, On
But you could go on and on--with hundreds of others, of course--and scores of "big names" in aviation and industry, many of them making up late parties.
There was a distinguished list of patrons and patronesses, too: Mr. and Mrs. William D. Pauley the J. Avery Guytons, Mr. and Mrs.

Pull the Trigger on Lazy Bowels, and Comfort Stomach, too
When constipation brings on acid indigestion, stomach upset, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste and bad breath, your stomach is probably "crying the blues" because your bowels don't move.
