GRAND MYSTIC BALL

By holding a series of mystery dances during the season, members of | a Christchurch friendly society have raised funds and worked together unostentatiously to relieve the. distress amongst needy families in the city and suburbs. With the object of assisting the same worthy cause, the committee held a grand mystic ball in the Caledonian Hall last night, and many who had enjoyed the society's hospitality on previous occasions were amongst the guests who attended. The upper end of the hall and the gallery had been converted into comfortable lounges, and cinerarias and greenery had been arranged effectively on the stage. A large number of energetic women helpers assisted the organising committee, members of which were Messrs W, H. Bunting (chairman), D. S. Dorreen, H. W. Wright, E. Malley, W. G. King, B. W. Hayes, G. M. Williams, F. J. Dann, AY. H. Smith (treasurer), and A. E. Summerfield (honorary secretary). Interest was added to the evening's programme by an exhibition of the "Carioca." given by Mr and Mrs Sidney Hollis, and an eccentric tap dance given by Mr Robert Tonge. Continuous music was supplied by Messrs George and Bob Bradford's orchestras. Amongst those present were Mesdames W. H. Smith. C. E. Mallev, C. Woolford, T. W r . Wallis, Olds. W. A. Beck, W. P.
