STUDIO PARTY.

SUPPER AND DANCE. BALLET MEMBERS ENTERTAINED. Miss Mabel Johnson's studio at Omahu Road presented a gay scene last night, when a party was held in honour of the members of the Covent Garden Russian Ballet. The studio, which was arranged with small supper tables and a bar in one corner, gave the appearance of a Continental cafe. In the middle of the room a long table was spread with cold chicken, ham, turkey and several enormous roasts of beef, and the guests were given supper in the true Continental style.

Miss Mabel Johnson received her guests-wearing a graceful frock of dull gold cloque patterned in gold thread. After supper those who wished entertained themselves with dancing, while" a large open fire and comfortable armchairs were arranged for those who wished to chat.

Among those present were:—Mr. ami Mrs. Jock Hutchison, Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Thome George, Mr. and Mrs. Phil Hayward, Mr and Mrs. Douglas Mowbray. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Kingston.
