Red Cross "Younger Set." Funds for the Red Cross "Younger Set's" annual ball, which, will be held on October 6, were augmented last night by proceeds from the party given by Mrs. H. Schneideman at 'her home in Goldie's Brae. Table tennis1 as well as less strenuous games and cards was played, Mrs. Schneideman providing a refreshing savoury supper at the conclusion of the evening. Her black hostess gown was given an unusual finish by its diamante-trimmed: sleeves. The committee which helped her entertain the guests comprised Misses Peggy Hyams, Lorna Kesseli; Lesley Martindale, and Betty Rendle, and Messrs. Wilfred Mehaney and Robert Carney.
