THE P. AND T. SOCIAL.

The members of tlic I'o-t and Telegraph Literary and Social Club held a delightful little dance at Thomas' Hull last Friday evening, and the Club are to be congratulated on the results of their labours. The music was provided by tho Post Oflice Orchestra, which has only been in existence a few months. Mr Forrest is aiso to be congratulated on the proficiency to which the band has attained under his able conductorship. Genial sociality was the order of the whole night, dance followed dance with delightful regularity and refreshing cordiality, and it was only at two in the morning, with light hearts and lagging footsteps, that we .vended our way homewards, guided by the glorious moon. Amongst the many well-dressed ladies present I noticed Mrs Thos. Hose, handsome black silk, jet trimmings ; .Mrs Charles Wilson, pretty cream silk, bodice trimmed with poppies; Mrs Pcrrin, pale blue brochc, cream lace trimmings ; Mrs L.

The ofiicer.3 of the Club have already been complimented in the IIME3 upon the admirable way in which all the arrangements wen; made; I can only say that all the officers and members of the committee seemed to vie with each other in endeavouring to make their guests spend an enjoyable evening. The supper was capital, and reflected great credit upon the caterer. That succeeding socials may be many, and equally enjoyable, is tho wish of all the ladies present, including Yours truly, Gekty Gadauout,
