COMING-OF-AGE. On Monday evening, 24th inst., Mr and Mrs T, Cannon, Maungaturoto, gave a most delightful young people’s dance to celebrate the 21st birthday of their eldest daughter, Delia. The drawing room was used for bridge and Mah Jongg for the elders of the party, and two rooms opposite were cleared out and tastefully decorated in pink and gold with, lycopodium, and in which dancing was enjoyed thoroughly by some 15 couples of young people. Amongst those present were: —Mrs Smith, Miss Smith (Mercury Bay), Mr and Mrs J. T. Caldwell, Mr and Mrs O. P, Mincher, Mr and Mrs H. B. Wallace, Mrs Jew (Ngaruawahia), Mr Foote and Mr Lindsay, Mrs McLean and Mrs Huband. The young people present were: —Mr and Mrs J. Kaye, Misses Grigg, Dell, Howard, Grant, McLean, Fergus, Wallis, Cawte, Cullen and Maras and Messrs Fergus (3), Sands, Cullen, Pasley, Sundberg. Dodd, Leman, Kemp, Scully, Kildare and Cawte.

During the evening, Mr Mincher made a speech. Mr T. Cannon responded for his daughter and family, and presented a key to Miss Delia Cannon. After toasting Miss Cannon and sampling the handsome birthday cake, gaily decorated with 21 saucy pink iced kewpies, a sumptuous supper was served. Dancing was then resumed until 12.30, when Mr Kildaire, on behalf of the guests, thanked Mr and Mrs Cannon for their wonderful hospitality. Mrs Jew, a friend of the family, travelled all the way from Ngaruawahia to preside at the piano, and she certainly provided the most tuneful dance music. She also sang some songs, which were greatly appreciated.
