Town Tit-Bits

bulletin for this week consists of some busy doings. On Friday a very happy crowd of young folk attended a farewell dance given in honour of Mr Felix Taltersfield, who leaves shortly for Wellington.

Mary Grave, Zoc Phillips, Barbara Walker, Margaret Chambers, Lyn Homus, Alaska Lloyd.

Duplicate contract bridge was a pleasant change at the home of Mrs Guy N. Morris last week, when she entertained a number of friends. Bowls of autumn tinted leaves and berries were attractively arranged in the drawing room and the hostess received her guests wearing a van dyke brown satin beauto frock.

One of the brightest events of this season was the ball in the town hall given by the Professions Queen Committee for their queen, Miss “Teddy” Searle.

There was a delightful air of gaiety about the whole affair. The hall looked festive with masses of blue and gold streamers-, while, in the supper room bowls of poppies were arranged on the long tables with charming effect.
