MASKED BALL.

Effort to Aid Girl Guide Funds. A SPICE OF MYSTERY. The distribution of masks to the guests at the carnival ball held in the Caledonian Hall last night, in aid of the Girl Guide funds, lent an air of mystery and added to the excitement of the evening, and the efforts of the guests to pierce their friends’ disguises caused much amusement and hilarity. Decorations for the party consisted of massed clusters of gaily coloured balloons hanging from the ceiling, while on the stage was a bowl of arum lilies painted a vivid scarlet. Showers of confetti were released on the dancers, all adding to the gaiety of the evening. Supper was served in the room behind the stage. Committee Members.
