SHIPWRECK BALL.

W indwhistle Club s Guests Entertained. DANCE AT COALGATE. Members of the Windwhistle Winter Sports Club excel in the social sphere, and their annual dance has become a popular event with many winter sports enthusiasts. This year’s dance was held on Saturday night in the Coalgate Hall, and guests from town were hospitably entertained for the week-end at country homes in that neighbourhood. The fun of the dance was heightened by the fact that a shipwreck was presupposed, and everyone bidden to the party in. clothes that they had saved from the wreck. The hall was decorated to represent a desert isle, on which the motley crew of shipwrecked souls assembled. Palm trees stood in the comers with striped awnings erected in their shade, and a row of sea-sodden garments were pegged on a line to dry. Posters of ships were hung on the walls. On the following day about ten carloads of people motored to Clearwater on the Mount Diversion estate and enjoyed a day’s ice skating in perfect conditions.
