MASTER GROCERS

SOCIAL AND DANCE

Wellington Master Grocers macte_ a great success of their first annual social and dance which they held in St. Francis' Hall last night. Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Russell were the host and hostess. Powder blue flowers were worn by Mrs. Russell at the neckline of her navy blue figured evening frock. There was a good orchestra, and the number of old fashioned dances which were included in the programme were very popular. Miss Q. Briggs and Mr. L. Stewart were the winners of a Monte Carlo dance. The whole atmosphere was cheerful and informal. A shield given by Aulsebrook and Co. and a siver cup given by By croft, Ltd., for bowling competitions between employers and employees, were presented to the winning teams and this created qutie a lot of excitement. Blossom and Iceland poppies decorated the tables in the supper-room where an excellent sit-down supper was served later in the evening.
