POPULAR DANCE

MOTOR CYCLE CL LB FUNCTION'. No belter proof of the popularity of the Gisborne Sports Motor Cycle Club dances could be offered than the attendance at their last dance. As will bo remembered Thursday night was very wet and the prevailing apprehension of earthquakes .would also tend to make the attendance small. Despite all this, Lc Grand Loungo was comfortably filled, and the dance was up to the high standard of its predecessors. The Lc Grand with its heavily raftered ceiling, latticed screens and shaded lights made a cosy picture to those who had braved the elements in determination to help towards forgetting all care tor a few hours. With the tangerineshaded walls, green and scarlet panels, and the heavy brown rafters .were heavy brass bowls filled with pussy willow fronds and bowers. Patches of color "ere lent by the Horal and shaded curtains that screened the many Avindo.ws and concealed the rain that was beating outside. Air. Basil Adair’s orchestra was playing from a central dais and their syncopated melodies caused many demauds fur encores. A new departure in the supper arrangements was made in the tael that Hie tables had been arranged around the walls of the two rooms and .these, with the various alcoves, made the serving of supper a matter of ease to the supper assistants. In this manner the ii£ual lengthy supper interval was halved and much valuable time was saved for dancing. After supper the orchestra were given a deserved rest while Mr. E. Rosie played- much appreciated extras to the appreciative dancers. The committee responsible lor the harmonious running of fhe dance wore. Messrs. *D. Seragg, V. Butler (M.C.), E. Seragg, N.
