BUNNYTHORPE LADIES.

POPULAR DANCE. The attractively decorated A. and P. Entertainment Hall again formed the background for a popular function, last evening, when the Bunnythorpe ladies’ committee gave a dance. Glowing rose-coloured lights made a charming variation in the decorative scheme. There was a large attendance and it is hoped that the funds for the new public ball at Bunnythorpe will be considerably augmented. The four ladies of the committee who organised the dance were Mesdames A. Guy, who wore brown floral marocain ; J. B. Armstrong, brown floral marocain; J. Baker, pink and green floral marocain; and L. Butler, white satin with white coatee. They were assisted by the president, Mrs 0. Jackson, who wore beige lace with a scarlet coatee, and the secretary Mrs A. H. Faulkner, who was in black and red floral ninon ; also Mesdames W. P. Martini, lemon and pink floral taffeta ; W. Tomlinson, blue floral silk; H. Hughes, wine net redingote over wine satin ; C. Harris. black lace, and McMillan, black satin. Messrs J. Baker, H. Hughes, , F,. Whitehead and H. Robson, were capable M.C.’s, while Mr A. Guy lent assistance in a general capacity. Old-time and modern dance music was supplied by a professional orchestra, and cards were provided for nondancers. A special feature of the gathering was a series of competitions for which excellent prizes were given, Miss L. McAffer, of the Broadway School of Dancing, being the judge. A waltzing competition was won .bv Mrs McGuire and Mr Weir. Alias N. McGuire and Mr J. McGuire were placed second. Mr and Mrs Burt won the statue waltz, Airs Gabo and M r AleAlurray being second.
