Bright little electric globes outlined the stage and gallery, and were used effectively in the hall. Supper was set downstairs, the tables being decorated^with coloured paper mats and streamers.

The gallery was'used for a sittingout place, and there was a "500" tournament arranged upstairs for nondancers, which was a very excellent idea. , '
