COMBINED BALL.

GAY SCENE AT UNIVERSITY.

The engineers and architects' combined hall, held in the Auckland University hall on Saturday evening, proved a decided success. The stage and hall were artistically decorated, a feature of the scheme being a futuristic conception of architecture erected at the hack of the stago. Special lighting effects were set about the side walls and under their soft colourings the scone was most effective: The Kit Kat Dance Band supplied the . music. Supper was served downstairs in tho women's common room, where the tables were decorated with silver howls of Iceland poppies. The men's committee which was in charge of tho arrangements was responsible for the great success which the function achieved.
