Choate wins hands down or is it hands proffered? Several hundred friends and judicial officials filed through the doorway to the dining room of the Top O' The Columbus Saturday afternoon to give Judge Choate's hand a hearty shake after he took the oath of obligation that morning. "He looks just Eke a judge, doesn't he?" someone said and everyone nodded, as the white-haired gentleman whose dark piercing eyes showed an ever so slight twinkle, paused with each person to personalize the pump-handle-like procession. i 1 Mil ss Jl5t si s- a First to greet the well-wishers was Mary Jane (Jerry) Melrose, pretty, animated, and an attorney in her own right, who in.

Harold Alexander and Mrs. Helen Leib admitted it was a top-of-the-world feeling. And as the crowd clustered you could overhear the post- mortems from the morning's ceremonies. A group of attorneys were congratulating Judge Paul Barns on his speech. "Well," he admitted thoughtfully, "I either had to tell a joke or pray." Those unfamiliar to the parlance of the' profession could do a double-take when catching snatches of conversation.

like, "There's Judge Bryan Simpson. He sits in Ocala." Free translation: he presides on that bench. But would that mean he's "benched" so to speak? Silly girl, those-who-know said. Judge Simpson was gladdening the hearts of the Ocala Chamber of Commerce by inviting Dade Countians to come visit his little paradise. Just Like Christmas Everywhere there was shop talk sleepers (trick provisions), amendments, elections.

Reid Sanderson and Tom De-Wolf were joining compatriots in a toast to the stately judge. And these toasts, mind you, were being made with coffee or punch. Colorful, too. The combination of green coffee cups and strawberry -hued punch glasses made it seem as festive as Christmas. STEP ONE: Couple begins with man and woman facing semi-position.

GREETING FOR A MIAMI EDITOR By BERTHA HAHN MUma Daily News Food Editor New York, Oct. 4 About 150 food editors are here to cover the 11th annual food editors conference and New York couldn't have done more to make a Miami editor feel at home. In fact, the weatherman overdid it and upped both temperature and humidity to' the point where we wonder why we shopped for' cool weather outfits. First stop in the fresh-up station, where newspaper "girls" and a few brave male food editors met as guests of Florida citrus commission, was for Florida orange juice of course. The orange juice was an appetizer for the three to five meals we'll have to eat in order to give you, the readers, a report of what's new in the food world today.

We were off to a good start with the reception C. A. Swanson and Sons hosted in the Waldorf Astoria's Jansen suite Sunday afternoon. They didn't make us count off with our fingers to decide which tempting pastry to choose. Baked miniature pies were not much larger than a silver dollar and we had not only chicken and turkey but those luscious cherry, peach and apple dessert pies.

The new frozen poultry stix were there, too. They'll be on the market soon and give you another selection for snacks and hors d'oeuvres. Full sized was their new pot roast of beef dinner. A nibble would never have satisfied anybody; it's really yummy. This new dinner also is due to be on Miami markets before the snow flies in New York.

That's if New York is having winter this season. Sunday it seemed doubtful-real doubtful. Stomp Follows Each Step ents happily revealed that she was born on Friday, Oct. 1, at 4:30 in the afternoon at St. Francis Hospital.

Close friend Henry Caballero said, "he'd never seen a new born babe that ever looked so much like her old man." Gone Out? Sight-Light's electrical gal Joyce Nolan and her dad, E. L. Roy -Nolan of Surf Side will be touring Orlando, Daytona Beach and Jacksonville, the remainder of this week. Joyce's mom said, "it's on business!" Spinster's To Meet I you are an active member of The Spinster's Club then don't forget tonight's meeting at 8:00 in the home of Nancy Dickenson, 1730 23rd Street, M.B. By MARY UTTING "Hey now, we've got a new step, A jree and easy to do step.

Clap your hands and do the Champion Strut." Now that you've mastered the mambo and have learned a few tricks about the tango and bunny hop, you may think you know all there is to know about tripping the light fantastic. Well, don't retire com- placently to your corner; we've another project for you before the winter social swirl begins. The lyrics above by Robert Wells (with music by Buddy Pepper) are the beginning of a new number, named for those dance floor Champions, Marge-and Gower. This popular pair introduced their "Champion Strut" to 500 members of the Dance Masters of America at their Los Angeles convention in August, and Coral Gables instructor Phillis Kapp (on the faculty at the convention) has brought this sprightly step back to South Florida. The dance, which consists of parts, is relatively simple, and Miss Kapp believes that it should be a favorite with both high school and adult students.

The steps, posed by Miss Kapp and Phil C. Gallagher, Miami Beach insurance executive and a past, president of the Bachelors Club, are as follows: Mrs. Frazer's Circle President Mrs. Leland Wetherington will be the installing officer for Hibiscus Grove 325, Supreme Forest Woodmen Circle, at 2800 Bird Road, at 8.

Ted Wilson, assistant attendant; Mrs. Nellie Cooper, Mrs. B. H. Belflower, captain; Mrs.

Jesse W. Hanson, secretary; Mrs. Ray Lewis, treasurer; Mrs. William Flowers, chaplain; and Mrs. Jeannette Watson, musician.

STEP TWO: Both man and woman in semi-open position. Step forward, kick inside foot forward, step back in place, twist opposite foot between partner. (This is the Champion twist.) Do three times and BREAK. STEP THREE: Partners link left arms and do a strutting step around each other 12 times. BREAK.

Repeat dance by starting step one again. "Karen' Review Topic For Beach Group Mrs. Ruth Brenstein, chairman of the Miami Beach Women's Unit Speakers Bureau, will review the book "Karen" at a meeting of the Miami Beach Women's Unit of United Cerebral Palsy, at the Prince Michael Hotel, "26th Street and Collins Avenue, Tuesday at 1 p.m. "Karen" is "the- story, of a cerebral palsied child, written by her mother, Marie Killilea.

Jim and Eileen Guilmartin (he's the Federal D.A.), plus the Ed Whartons and Dave Rosens, two more assistant D.A.'s, and their wives, gathered in a corner, but theirs was not a conversation sticking strictly to shop talk.
