The duties of m.c. were in the able hands of Mr. A. Srhoj, ancj the music was supplied by the local string band with extras by Mr. Tom Steed on the accordion. During the supper interval Mr. Millie Srhoj in a neat speech, took the opportunity of presenting the guest of honour with a handbag, a gift from members of the Tennis Club. Miss Salle suitably responded. She was also presented with a bouquet of cream roses by little Allie Yelavich. The singing of “For She’s a Jolly Good Fellow” was followed by dancing. Before the close of the evening the handbag was taken round and quite a heavy purse w T as handed the guest of honour. Dancing brought a very pleasant evening to a close.
