ANNUAL BALL. Not since 1914 have the. members of the Licensed Victuallers’ Association held a ball, but there was compensation for the long interval in tho success of last evening’s function in the Art Gallery. Invitations were limited to two hundred and fifty, so that the ballroom was not over-crowded. The arrangementb were in the hands of a big representative committee, who saw to tho comfort and enjoyment of the guests. The frocks of the women were very smart, and the blacjt walls, panelled with yellow, showed them to advantage. Overhead interlaced festoons -of black and yellow added colour to the scene. In the permanent, gallery and in the supper room daffodils and greenery were user! for decorations. The music, which was supplied by Miss Macdonald’s hand, was very bright, and included several new fox trot “ hits.” A sit-down supper of poultry, salads and sweets was served at small tables, each of which was decorated with daffodils and coloured bon-bons.
