STAFF DANCES

ATLANTIC UNION OIL COMPANY

Members ot" tie staff social club of the Atlantic Union Oil Company were responsible for the excellent arrangements at the company's first annual dance at the Majestic Cabaret last night. The committee spared no effort in an endeavour to produco something original in the way of decorative effect. Huge sunflowers leaned sedately against the pillars on each corner of the dance floor, and in various nooks aud crannies around the room there were placed miniature gardens, blossoming with hollyhocks.
