The Kingsdown schoolroom was filled to capacity on the occasion of the benedicts, spinsters, and bachelors’ annual ball. The guests of the evening were the spinsters and bachelors of Fareora, Otipua, Salisbury, and Adair. The Grand March was led off by the chairman, Mr R.

The charity ball, which was such a feature of last year’s social season, is to be held this year in the Caroline Bay Hall and tea rooms. Dancing enthusiasts are assured of a good floor and excellent music.

The presentation of debutantes to His Lordship Bishop Brodie will be a feature of the evening. The proceeds will be divided equally between the Central Relief Society and the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
