SHIP OF FORTUNE BALL

To-morrow evening, at the Town Hall, Wellington,'all will; have the opportunity of helping one of the city's most valued institutions —the Plunket Society. Au appeal from the society has never yet failed to '■ meet with . a gratifying response; for New Zealand is proud of the good work of the society,. which has helped thousands of citizens and given New Zealand a world-wide fame. The Wellington branch endeavour-s to make only one main ap- ! peal a year, and this year it takes the very ' pleasant ■ form of this original ball. All: the signs of .;faery treasure will be there-^-it, is only asked .that the guests come in the right happy spirit.--.' Dancei-s, amateur and professional, have given their time and services, and a hundred different helpers have lent a generous hand. Judging by the sale of tickets the public are responding,as happily. Seats can still be reserved in the gallery, from any part, of which an excellent view can be obtained of floor, and stage. It is asked that, arrival shall be punctual—the ball begins at 0 sharp—the novelty items begirt at .0.15, immediately after the anival of Their Excellencies, and the ship's bell will be the signal for. a cleaving of decks. There .will be a dance after each item, and the second half, of the programme .will be entirely devoted to dancing. The main supper will be served in the Concert Chamber, and a, buffet of sandwiches and. drinks will be found on the main floor.
