OTOROHANGA.
(Own Correspondent.)
A .very enjoyable ball was given last Thursday by the Otorohanga branch of the Farmers' Union. The arrangements were in. the able hands of Messrs R. G. Matthews, president, ? and H. M. Quin, secretary, and reflected great credit on these two gentlemen. The music was supplied by Loyd's Band> and the catering was done by Mr Buchanan, Auckland. Nikau palms and ferns transposed the hall into quite a fairy-like palace. About twentyfive couples were present, and enjoyed the programme of twentyfour dances. Messrs Quin, Matthews, Osmond and Bourke were the M.C.'s. Among the pretty dresses worn we noticed Mrs Matthews, in a lemon-coloured silk trimmed with jet; Mrs Quin, buttercup satin, trimmed with chiffon, gold pessementerie and black velvet, bebe ribbon, with a spray of scarlet poppies across the corsage; Mrs Worthington, soft black dress trimmed with black and gold lace; Mrs Johnson, black net; Mrs Whyte, white chiffon taffetas trimmed with silk insertion and old gold braid; Miss Cauber (Auckland), soft silk Empire' frock, jewelled comb in her hair; Mrs Colhoun, black silk relieved with a spray of tea roses ; Mrs Spencer, lovely cream lace dress over deep gold silk; Miss Board, soft black voile trimmed with black fringe piped with skyblue; Miss Colhoun, soft white silk, silver trimming; Mrs A.
