(CONTINUED.) LINCOLN COLLEGE. ANNUAL DANCE. A BRILLIANT SUCCESS. There is probably no social event of the year anticipated with so much pleasure as is the annual dance held at Canterbury Agricultural College at Lincoln, and certainly the pleasure of realisation must have exceeded tnat of anticipation at the brilliantly successful dance held in the college hall last night. Bright lights in the picturesque grounds, the arrival of many motor-cars, and the cheery greetings of friends proclaimed the fact, early in the evenfng, that something unusually exciting was taking place at the college. Visitors arrived from all parts of Canterbury and received a warm welcome from the director, Professor K. E. Alexander, and Mrs Alexander. The Committee. The members of the committee were Messrs A. Henderson, B. Francis, D. T. Herrick, D. Shand, W. J. Taylor, and J. W. Gardner. Music was supplied by Fritz Seymour's orchestra. The Decorations. The decorations, appropriate and cleverly carried out, were a triumph of originality. In the entrance hall was a bank of beautiful cinerarias. Many of the long corridors were canopied and festooned with blue and gold, the college colours. The main corridor was decorated with sheaves of wheat, oats, and barley, sacks of grass seed and grain, fleeces of sheep, strings of giant mangolds, turnips, and potatoes, pictures of a big sow with attendant piglets, and last, but by no means least, a big white "cow" made of butter muslin, deftly arranged over a bleached skeleton. The ballroom was decorated with a high stand of cinerarias and clusters of greenery and red berries, while the lights were softened with gold and blue shades. Many Smart Frocks. Mrs Alexander wore a handsome frock of wineberry red angel skin lace and a panne velvet coatee to match with rucked collar. Miss Mary Alexander's smart frock was of cobalt blue crinkle crepe, with capelet to match lined with beige georgette, which also faced the narrow scarf collar.

Mrs D. J. Sidey wore a black satin frock and black velvet coatee. Mrs I. W. Weston wore a frock of black georgette, the bodice being trimmed with bands of faggoting, and a black velvet coatee patterned in floral design. Miss Armour wore a frock and coatee of black panne velvet, the frock having a pointed inset yoke of fine black lace mounted on pink georgette. Mrs L. Morrison wore a frock of malachite green crepe satin. Mrs R. A. Fougere's frock was of bottle green georgette. Mrs A. H. Flay wore a lemoncoloured velvet dress. Mrs R. L. James's frock of magnolia satin was worn with a coatee of rose pink velvet, with white fur collar. The Guests. The following was the guest list:— Mesdaines John Deans, C. H. Hewlett, H. G.
