THE PLUNKET BALL

A BOHEMIAN EVENING

For many years it has been customary for Race Week to .have as a major attraction the annual ball of tho Pluuket Society. So iirnily.,has this

gay evening established itself, as one of the great social events of the year that the society can depend upon unfailing support for its venture. The society is "feeling the pinch," and needs all the-,money it can get from this big ball,, but, those who attend it will find that it is they who have had the bargain.

An enthusiastic meeting of members of all the committees niet on Monday afternoon and gave excellent reports on the progress made with ;th9 final arrangements. ' . ■

, Mis. -Herbert and Mrs. La Trbbe arc responsible for a gorgeous scheme of de- j coration with, beautiful murals, vivid drapings,. dazzling lights. In this scheme the gay Bohemians of the Paris studios -with their love of daring colours will make a really gay and brilliant carnival scene. The ballet, "The Rhapsodic in Blue," inspired by Gershwin's niusie, is the conception of Miss Kathleen O'Brien and is the most beautiful she has yet attempted, carried out in ultra modernistic group dancing by twenty-two of Wellington's most attractive girls. "With much practice the result is as near perfection as possible.

The subject of suitable fancy dress can be solved for many on arrival at the ball—the stalls will be stocked with 6tudent caps, bows, and other novel paper adornments, all in the gayest colours. The supper, still carrying out tho idea, will be such as would v be found at any of the Bohemian haunts of the Latin Quarter- —French, and unusual and very good. Eeserved seats in the gallery and at the cabaret tables can be booked at the D.I.C.
