CELTIC BALL SUCCESS

TOWN HALL TRANSFORMED BY EFFECTIVE DECORATION X The 1932 Celtic ball in the Town Hall last night fully upheld the popularity of this annual fixture from all points of view. ; Decorations, music, supper, all left nothing to be desired and the result was a splendid evening’s enjoyment by a larger crowd of dancers than ever. The clubfs colours, green and white, everywhere predominated m (he decorative scheme, a canopy of innumerable paper streamers abr-ve the dancing throng. The orchestra was enthroned on the stage behind a rpeetacular green and white football and, again, in the supper room the decorative arrangements were most effective. The hall itself was a blaze of coirur from a double string of coloured lights peeping from sprays of lycopodium, and many coloured Chinese lanterns further enhanced the effect. Hunches of greenery with crossed i bamboo foliage hid the walls but left spaces at intervals for great rosettes | emb' dying the colours of every footi ball club in Taranaki.
