UNKNOWN GUESTS AT PARTY
(fly Telegraph—Special to "The Mail")
AUCKLAND, This Day.
It is not only in London that the gate crasher is seen, for at a recent social gathering in Auckland, when a hostess asked her guests to be seated, she found 100 present, whereas she had catered for a maximum of ninety. In the seats of honour wiere seveijal people who could not be accounted for. The gathering took place in a well-known church hall, the hostess and her daughter receiving the guests at separate entrances. When-they met, '.lie mother (giving the party for her daughter) said: "Who was that I saw you talking to at the door just now?" Her daughter replied that she did not know, thinking that they were her mother's friends. As the hostess knew all the invited guests the half dozen strangers were noticeable. She consulted her husband who said that he certainly didn't know them, adding: "There's too much paint and powder on them." The uninvited women, (some unknown men also were present) were dressed in black lace and the longest of trailing skirts.
