IN FANCY DRESS

CHILDREN'S BALL AT HINDS.

MANY FINE COSTUMES. On the occasion of the children's hard-up fancy dress ball on Friday evening, the Hinds Hall presented a festive appearance.

The children's dance entertainment from 7.30 to £.30 p.m. was much appreciated by the large number of adults present, practically every school child being in costume. Music for the children's dances was supplied by Miss Good, while for the adult dance that followed Chapman's Orchestra contributed the music and Mr G. F'arrell was M.C. , , _ The chairman of the School Committee thanked all those who had contributed toward the success of the ball. The thanks of. the committee were specially due to the judges.
