. . ♦ CLUBS CROWDED

.DANCES AT NEW YEAR The decision of some of the service clubs to remain open during the holidays was more than justified by the crowds of servicemen who patronised them. The highlight of the Victory Club's activities was the masquerade dance on New Year's Eve. It was a particularly happy function, and between dances the- guests were entertained with ballets by girl members, with Jo Pound as soloist, and songs by Jean Day and Rosaleen Pound, everybody joining-in the choruses. Lever 8r05.,. Petqne, presented the club with all the prizes which were distributed during the weekend. THE GROSVENOR.
