SAVAGE CLUB LADIES’ NIGHT. Having devoted their energies to raising patriotic funds during the war, the Wellington Savage Club members once more held a ladies’ evening on Saturday, when their lady friends were the guests of the club at the Town Hall. The building was packed, not a vacant seat anywhere, all the Savages’ friends being present to do them honour. Tie hall was most artistically decorated for the occasion. The Savages and the D.1.C.. who carried out the work, are to be congratulated in having found an original scheme for decorating the centre of the hall, other, than the canopy effect which has done duty on so many occasions. The large central electrolier was lowered and hidden by a huge shade of Japanese design. the top being of light wood and the shade a long hanging one of yellow stencilled in black and bordered with black fringe. Around this larger shade bung a number of smaller ones in tie same design, and the whole made a most effective centrepiece. Round the gallery at intervals tall arches of fan-like trellis work were erected, hung with greenery and flowers, and between these little shaped trellises projected also a mass of greenery, while the gold and silver baskets or flowers were again seen. Tho walls and gallex*y were draped with festoons oi gold and' soft green. and blue bunting, and the effect was very light and pretty. The masses of greenery supplied by Mr Waugh and the floral horseshoe remained in the entrance hall, and the concert chamber,- where supper was. served, was decorated with trails of lycopodium and the stag© with large trees and ferns. .. . . ■ - - The playing of the National Antnem marked the entrance of the DeputyGovernor, Sir Eobert Stout, with Lady Stout, and the Chief Savage J. P. Firth and Mrs Firth The party included also Sir Janies All®n, the Hon. T. M. Wilford, Mrs Montgomery, Mrs G W. Russell, tho Mayor and Mayoress, Hon. J. A. and Mrs Hanan, Mrs Raphael • (of Christchurch), and others. As soon as the official .party the performance began* , It opened with the rendering of Tthe 'overture ,to William. Tell" by -the. club's orchestra; under Savage H. A. McComish. .The first, part of the programme showed a number Yf Savages in the dress of the days of **Young ’Bloods, Postillions, and.Masked Highwaymen" (according to the programme), grouped round a table in “Chanticleer Hall," who drank toasts and sang to the audience, each in his different vein. Those taking part were Savages A. W. Newton (ns the Squire), L. C. Barnes, J. A. Doherty. J. Orr, J. F. Carr, F. T. Twiss,’ E. J. Hill, C. W. Thorpe. V. G. Jervis, H. Henderson, J. O. Richter, A. Longmore, B. Yeates, and- G...R; Williams,, who discharged the .duties’. of Butler. After song and story, the ’ guests joined in a jolly chorus as the curtain fell. The second part showed the deck of n German submarine, and “Der Heroes’’ gave a travestv of “H.M.S. Pinafore,’ and all the well-known songs turned to “taking off” the enemy’s ways. G. P. Williams announced he was called “Little Buttercup," Zante Wood was the captain’s daughter, and much fun was made of the value of meat cards, sugar cards, etc. 1 Other of the “Heroes" were H. Plimmej;, F. S. Latham, Guy HunrO, and Albert" Russell. ' . During the.interval Chief . Savage Firth briefly welcomed the lady guests to what ho called. the ' most important korero of the season.. ! ■ .

After the programme concluded the guests adjourned to supper, which was provided in the concert chamber and tho upper and tho tremendous number to be catered for was served most expeditiously. Meanwhile the large, hall was cleared, and dancing finished the evening most enjoyably. Even those who did not dance' found it pleasant to Unger-and the galleries-were almost as full after supper as before, while many sat downstairs or greeted friends in the corridors, the hosts doing all in their power to see to the enjoyment of the guest*.

Among those present were Dr and Mrs Moriee, Mr P. Levi, Mr and Mrs P. Isaacs, Mr and Mrs F. Dyer, Mr and Mrs F. Ward, Mr and the Misses Stott, Mr and Mrs J. Harper, Mr and Mrs J.

A euchre party and dance recently held by the Melrose Lodge, U.A.0.D., in the Maranui Church Hall. Lyall Bay, was largely attended, and proved most successful. Sixty-eight contested the euchre and some close finishes resulted. The ladies’ prize, a bevelled mirror tablecentre. was won by Mrs Johnson, with 9 cameo out of 10. The successful gentleman (Mr Logan) also won the same number of games, and .was tho recipont of a brief bog. Consolation prizes were awarded to Mrs Davis and Mr Cottle. Supper was served, and tho remainder of the-evening devoted to dancing. It is intended to hold another evening at a later date. SUPERFLUOUS HAIR. . PRAISE OF ELECTROLYSIS. Ladies who have any doubts as to the benefits that follow tho use of Blectrolysis -for superfluous hair .should not fail to see copies of letters which Mrs Holleaton has received from grateful patients. This letter is an example of m "i y wa3 always so sensitive about my affliction that I did not like to interview Mrs Rollcston. But at last I did so, and after a course of treatment have a perfectly clean face, being cleared of a very heavy growth on the upper lip. on the chin, and underneath. I will be ever grateful to you." Experience has proved that Electrolysis is the ONLY known method of permanently removing hair. _lt is practically painless, and success is certain. MRS ROLLESTON. 256, Lambton quay, Wellington.
