The Masonic Hall, well-warmed (which was a thing to be thankful for), was brightly decorated in the club's colours of blue and yellow. The canopy and curtains, where the president and special guests o£ honour were seated, were in these colours, and round the walls were groups of greenery, camellia, and wattle branches laden with blossom. The stage decorations were matching. In the supper room, where excellent refreshment was served, the tables were adorned with narrow bands of blue and yellow and central vases of greenery and yellow flowers, the latter from the garden of Orphan Odlin at the Hutt. Chief Orphan E. A. Heron was in the chair, and was accompanied by Mrs. Heron (wearing black and gold marocain threaded with tinsel, and a coatee of gold lame trimmed with fur). Officials from other clubs included Mr. Wauchop (president of the Wellington Savage Club), and Mrs. Wauchop (in rose cendre velvet and a fur wrap), Mr. Frank Thomas, Mr. W. H.

Mr. Harold Godier was conductor of the orchestra which played two delightful numbers, "Spirit I of Pageantry March" and "Reveries," the latter having a particular charm, and the forty players with their leader
