CHARITY BALL

AUCKLAND MOTOR TRADE CRIPPLED CHILDREN'S FUND The Auckland Crippled Children's Fund will benefit considerably from the proceeds of a ball held last night by members of the Auckland motor trade in the Peter Pan Cabaret. Thronged with enthusiastic dancers the ballroom was most effectively decorated with a network of multi-coloured streamers, which formed a canopy over the dance floor. The canopy was filled with bril-liantly-coloured balloons, which later were released and distributed to the guests. In the supper room the tables were arranged with fragrant winter flowers and maidenhair fern, while the corners were massed with nikau palms and ferns.
