CHILDREN’S PARTY

Miss Borlase held the final breakingup of her dancing classes on Saturday afternoon, which took tlio form of a fancy dress party. The Goring street Hall was the locale of the event, and tiio decorar tions arranged for the evening before were left up for the afternoon. The children had dancing and games, and about 6 o’clock they were given tea in the supper room, after which a regular romp ensued, and all had to be forcibly dragged away by parents tired of waiting for ‘"just one game more.” Many of the children, who had taken part in the “BoPeep” set at the kindergarten ball, were present, and they danced a set of Lancers all to themselves during the afternoon. There were, besides, children in every conceivable fancy dross. A Chinaman was a well-carried-out costume, and there were Japanese, Pierrots and Pierrettes, a Crusader with brown paper armour. Robin Hood, a bat, fairies, of both night and day, and several Boy Blues. Miss Borlase wore black silt and ninen and a cream scarf. She was assisted in looking after the children by Mrs Morton Clark and her daughters, Mrs Grey, and several of her older pupils and expupils.
