One of the most enjoyable socials that has ever been held in the district eventuated in. Mr R Percy's barn on the 2Sth inst., and, despite the inclemency of the weather, was a decided success. Great credi; is due to the managing committee, Messrs B Bryant, W Crooks, ./ Sherry and T Foster, who did all in their power to promote the enjoyment of those present. Mr J Ward discoursed the music ia his usual well known style, whilst Messrs Page and Sherry kindly supplied the extras. Dancing was kept up till the wee sma' hours, iveryone departing well satisfied with their night's enjoyment. The following is a list of the dresses worn : — Miss Baverstock, black skirt, pretty bodice of pink net; Mrs Ward, Mack gown ; Miss Sherry, white, pretty pink sash ; Miss Williams looked nice in fawn ; Miss Finlay, white gown trimmed with lace ; Miss Queen ie Sherry, white skirt, blue blouse finished with white lace (very pretty) ; Miss Andrews, white ; Miss Minnie Hillman, black crepon skirt, bodice composed of creme silk and lace, finished at the throat and wr sts with black ; Mrs Sherry, charming black gown relieved with trimmings of creme satin, Miss Queenie Finlav. white trimmed with pink; Miss H G-illard, white ; Miss Hillman, pale blue crepon evening dress, linUhed with pink chiffon and lace ; Miss A Andrews, white ; Miss Hemming, neat costume of checked tweed ; Miss Lena Gillard, dark blue dress trimmed with light blue ; Miss M Hemming, black skirt, black and white blouse, and others whom 1 haveforgotten..M H sajsit was the winning ways of the Mangere boy that took her fancy, (.wicDarew her attentio i from the Tamaki masher. .Very clever of G taking her departure Bjcretly the other evening.
