DEBUTANTES' DANCE.

AN ATTRACTIVE SCENE.

One of the most enjoyable private occasions of tho season was held in the Rialto Ballroom last evening when a number of Auckland hostesses held a debutante dance for their daughters. Each young girl was dressed in white or cream and carried a pretty little posy. The scene was most attractive, its simplicity most charming.
