The upstairs hall was used as a supper room, long tables being set at each side of the hall and one on the stage. Greenery filled the corners, shades in orange and lemon matched those the ballroom, and the Howers and serviettes also conformed to the colour scheme. Very charming were the tables. Largo glass bowls contained well-arranged yellow narcissi, Iceland poppies and fronds of maidenhair fern, while alternately were set squat howls of orange and lemon-toned marigolds arranged with fern. In the centre of the stage table was a lovely piece set in a base of black-berried sprays, in which were arranged marigolds and oranges. Credit for the floral work goes to Mesdames H. Douglas and G. F. Gardner, who were assisted by the Alisses A. Hicks and B. Bradley. Under the direction of Airs F. N.

Orange and lemon twisted streamers draped the doorways and windows. Petal shades in the two colours covered the central and wall lights. At the doorways and in corners green and orange-covered stands were filled with featheS willow branches, in which were set mammoth lemon and orange poppies with black centres. A letter was placed on each forming the words “Waiohiki Club’’ round the room. The .stage had a front decoration of pot palms and cyclamen, the edge being finished with pot ferns and poinsettia* at each side.
