RICHMOND HILL GOLF CLUB

ANNUAL DANCE AT SUMNER Members of the Richmond Hill Golf Club are renowned for their hospitality to visitors. That this reputation is not confined to entertaining on the golf links was shown last evening when the club held its annual dance in the Sumner' .Town Hall and the number of members and their friejy*li present was proof of the the event. the most striking of the many arrangement made for the entertainment of the guests was an elaborate scheme of decoration. The dancers entered the main hall under a brightly coloured awning. Along both sides of the hall similar awnings were suspended, the entire effect resembling the exterior of a cafe. Comfortable lounge chairs were arranged beneath the awning as sitting-out places. Realism was lent to the scheme of decoration by the use of clusters of coloured lights. Each of the windows had a window-box in which “tulips” grew profusely. Music was played by the BaileyMarston orchestra. A large eommittea was responsible for the success of the dance, and Mr J. S. B.
