The Mahoenui Basket Ball dance held last Friday was a decided success. The hall was gaily decorated with streamers of the Club’s colours of blue and orange, with ferns and cherry blossom forming a picturesque background. A large crowd attended, including visitors from Mokau and Awakino. Mr. S. Roberts carried out the duties of M.C.

Among the ladies present were:— Mesdames Hansen (Mokau), brown; Avery, brown with orange; J. Old, fawn; Ridling, black with rosa cape; Summers, beige; Alomes, orange satin; R. Rattenbury, floral merve; R. Old, pink satin; Wetere, black with gold. Misses Hansen, blue crepe moracain; McCrae, black satin; Ferguson, floral georgette, red coat; Worboys, striped taffetas; M. Rattenbury, figured georgette; Scott, lemon georgette; Roberts, striped crepe suede; Moir, pink crepe de chine; Abraham, pink georgette and

net; P. Roberts, figured rayon; Davidson, lemon satin; B. Moii% pink satin; Mullins, blue satin; J. MacKenzie, royal blue, black coatee; J. Moir, mustard satin; J. Rattenbury> blue satin, black cape; H. Moir, white satin; Eketone, blue crepe de chine; Wetere, black morocain. A couple of weeks ago the Mahoenui Diamatic Society produced a very amusing one-act farce entitled “House to Let.” Those taking part were Misses Worboys and Davidson, and Messrs. S. Roberts, G. Prior, and J. Davidson, while Mr. J. C. Moss was producer. Each part was rendered in a perfectly capable manner, and judging by the enthusiastic reception from the large, audience the play was much appreciated. At the conclusion of the play supper was served and the hall cleared for dancing. A working bee recently made several improvements to the Public Hall. Quite a number of new movable seats were made, also a collapsible stage which when finished with can be swung back to rest against the wall, thus not taking up any of the dancing space. Personal. Miss Tate, of Waitara, is the guest of Mrs. A. Old. Miss J. McKenzie has returned after spending three weeks’ holiday in Wellington. Messrs. L. G. Purdie, A. C. Moir and R. Old have left on a motor tour of Dannevirke and surrounding districts. Mr. W. Gellatly leaves to-day to spend several days with his parents at Kilbirnie, Wellington.
