Twelfth Annual Dance Of Business Girls’ Club

LAST NIGHT’S HAPPY FUNCTION The twelfth annual dance of the Business Girls’ Club, held last evening in the P.D.C. ballroom, provided a delightful social occasion for members and thoir friends. An enthusiastic committee headed by the popular secretary, Miss D. Nevvth, combined admirably to make the evening a memorable one and it was certainly not their fault that a number of counter attractions interfered somewhat with the attendance. Mr. J. Seiwyn was a host in himself as master of ceremonies and under his ge.nial direction inspired by lively music, a programme of old-time and modern dances proceeded happily until 1 a.m., a most enjoyable function terminating in time-honoured fashion.

There were novelty dances to add to tho fun, with snow balls in the club colours (blue and gold), also streamers making contribution to tho gaiety. Winners of the lucky Gay Gordons were Miss Christian and Mr. Hill. Mr. Harry Oram contributed music for oxtra dances. The Monte Carlo was won by Miss Y. Cronin and Mr. P. Milner.
