The dance room was gaily decorated with coloured streamers ■ and quaint Chinese lanterns' made soft subdued '.lighting. The orchestra played bright music with all the latest "catchy" songs,'and .the ladies' committee served a delicious home-made supper.

Prizes we're' awarded to the ■ winners of the animal dance, "The Two Bears" (Mr. G. Taplm ana Miss K. Rhodes).
