A delightful dance, of the small impromptu variety, was given last night by Miss Ward. The beautiful drawingroom was charming in its party attire, its fine polished floor reflecting the great coloured lights, and the spangled frocks worn by some of 'the girls. There was plenty of dancing room, even though settees and arm-chairs were arranged about the room, and' the corners and large bay window were made into artistic nooks of seats and greenery. The mantlepiece was exquisitely arranged with masses of pink and mauye hydrangea — tho keynote of all the floral decorations and delightful in their delicate pastel tones of colours-framing a magnificent cluster of tall lilium auratum, whose perfume floated across the ballroom. The wide hall, the portico, the corridors, and landings were all transformed into pleasant resting-places, and were much in favpur that sultry night. Supper was laid in the dining-room, where the same delicate combination of colour was chosen — mauve and pink hydrangeas set in t silver vases, and lit by branching silver jcandelabra. Lady Ward wore a graceful gown of rich white satin, with silver and crystal embroideries. Miss Ward's beautiful gown of white net had silver embroideries with hanging silver ball fringes. Mrs. Cyril Ward wore a pale blue Jiinon, prettily trimmed with silver. A lovely white tulle, with tunic and bodice elaborately embroidered in Empire wreaths of silver, • was worn by a fair-haired guest. A tall girl looked well in softest peach-coloured ninon, with a tunic skirt. A black net gown, the over-skirt and bodice bordered with beautiful jet trimming, was worn by a guest, whose pretty hair was arranged' in the new chignon mode. She also wore a jet necklace. Another guest, in an artistic black ninon gown opening over a "petticoat of pale blue chiffon over pale pink, the bodice crossed by fine jewelled embroideries, also wore a jet necklace and long jet earrings. Mrs. R. V. O'Connor's large "At Home" yesterday, a farewell to Mrs. Malcolm Ross, was a delightful affair, the presence of a number of men proving an unusual and pleasant change to the general feminine tone of such entertainments. The afternoon was perfect, though it ended in heavy Tain, and the views of Wellington from the windows of the beautiful drawingroom were delicately changeable in tone. Always the flowers are a feature of any of Mrs. O'Connor's .functions, and yesterday great clusters of blue and white agapanthus were set about the drawingroom with lovely effect. In the large -hall were massed wonderful phloxes — in every gradation of rose colour — a fine gallardias, whit© sweet-peas, and mauve and rose hydrangeas decorated the diningroom. i The hostess wore a very handsome Jblack silk, the bodice toeing ■draped with fine white lace. Miss O'Connor's pretty white gown had a bodice of cluny lace, and Miss Slattery wore a becoming frock of pale blue Shantung — showing a lace blouse with Peter-Pan collar — while her hat was trimmed with roses. Among the lovely gowns worn was a pale cafe au laifc cloth, the sleeveless coat a mass of soutache braiding, a pastel blue cloth, the little bodice also elaborately braided with tho samo tone, an old rose striped satin charmeuse made with a high yoke, a petunia and foulard spotted with white, a black gown with exquisite gold embroidered on the beautifully-fitting bodice, and a charming mole-coloured cloth, the Directorie coat prettily braided. Lady Ward's beautiful black ninon j gown was made with a sleeveless coac, I trimmed with thick twists of eilk arranged like braid.
