Raiigimarie Golf Club Dance. The Mayfair Cabaret was crowded last night when the Rangimarie Golf Club held its fourth annual dance. There were nearly 300 people present, and the cabaret looked very festive with green and yellow gas-filled balloons, representing the club colours, floating against the ceiling and with autumn leaves and flowers and baskets of ferns grouped about the room. Among the dancers were Mr. F. Creswell, club vice-president, and Mrs. Creswell, Mr. J. B. Watt, club captain, and Mrs. Watt, and Miss V. Whiteman, women's captain. The dance committee included Mrs. J. B. Watt, Misses B. M. Johnston, H. E. j Buncehall, V. Whiteman, and Messrs. J. B. Watt, J. D. Aitken. F. W. Cresswell, H. D. Dodson, S. B. Duncan, W. R. Selby, R. Underwood, and R. Wallis. To Live in Sydney. Mrs. A. G. Bowater, Mrs. J. A.

Cull was successful at bridge, and Mrs. P. Adamson at "500." A very enjoyable tea was served during the interval. The usual fortnightly card evening will be held at the clubrooms on Saturday night. Another Air Raid Lecture. The Lyceum Club's large reception room was gay with winter flowers and i berries yesterday afternoon when the members of the Women's Social Progress Movement foregathered there to hear an address on air raid precautions given by Miss Eileen Paul. Miss Paul, as a member of a St. John Ambulance team from New Zealand, attended lectures on this subject whilst in London recently. She illustrated her address with charts, posters, and models and made the subject very interesting. She described various methods of detecting gas, one particularly original method being the use of a certain brand of paint on buildings, the paint changing colour when gas was in the atmosphere. She was thanked for her address by Mrs. G. L. Stewart. Songs were sung by Miss Bennie, accompanied by Mrs. B. L. Dallard, and afternoon tea was served.
