From Our Own Correspondent. Dance in Aid. of Hall Funds. On Thursday evening about half past seven the Stanway Hall opened its big bright eyes, and merrily they winked 'and twinkled through the winter’s gloom as car after car slowed up to stop at its doorway. Grey-clad girlish figures hurrying to the ladies' dressingjroom, later emerged as brightly clad las butterflies, and when the lively I strains of the orchestra burst forth low there were who could resist them. Beautifully decorated with graceful ferns and native shrubbery by the hockey boys, the stage made a cool green background against which the frocks of the fair sex showed up to perfection. A ivory largo crowd was present, visitors 'arriving from Palmerston North, Pending, Marten, Halcombo, Makino, Cheltenham, Waituua, and Tokorangi, and a most enjoyable evening was spent, dancing being kept up till a very late hour.
