CLICK CLACK BIRTHDAY.

It was - a festive occasion for the Click Clack Cabaret when its first birthday was celebrated. The decorations, which were unique, were carried out in a scheme portra/ing old Egypt. Large panels around the room showed scenes oi burning deserts, swaying date palms, and camels with loads. Here, the statue of' Memmon sat in silent contemplation; while in the next panel were the Sphinx and the pyramids. The alcoves in the «."?rner of the room were in the form of tombs, but considerably brightened by the large and beautifullycoloured fans. Over all, green and crimson shades cast a temple-like glow while the side lights were covered in parchment shades on which we-- painted Egyptian figures and signs. During the evening covelties and favours were distributed. . iuey consist.. • «. -*j» and tinkling cymbals and reminis. nces of the ancient world., A special, feature of the evening was the prqseiita n of a number of dances by Mile.
