ANNUAL BALL

A. J. WHITE, LTD. STAFF’S SUCCESSFUL GATHERING The cares of office and warehouse were cast aside yesterday by the staff of A. J. White, Ltd., who had reserved the evening for entertaining friends at the Winter Garden. Since its revival a few years ago, the staff’s annual ball has proved most successful, nnd the gaiety indoors last night amply repaid the guests who had braved the rain to attend. Messrs A. D. Annand (chairman), T. D. P. White, R. Shillito, and R. S. Beveridge (honorary secretary) were responsible for the excellent arrangements, and guests danced to the music of the Dawson-Winfleld orchestra. A dance by Miss B. Harris and partner added interest to the evening’s programme. The guests of honoqr were Miss M. M. White, Mr and Mrs R. A. Beveridge, and Mr and Mrs T. T. Gough. A bouquet of abutilons was presented to Miss White, who wore a sapphire blue satin frock trimmed with hand-embroidery; ' Mrs Beveridge’s frock of tabac brown lace was relieved with a spray of green velvet flowers at the neckline; and Mrs Gough’s frock of black lace had godets of floral appliqued motifs inset in the skirt.
