PALAIS DE DANSE

When there's music that sets the f« ' i a-iingling dvvotees of the ancient ait must dance and last Saturday evening the Druid’s Hall presented a scene of brilliance and colour. A well conditioned floor and congenial surroundings, together with musiv of high degree as played with masterly skill by musicians chosen for r.heir iu dividual ability, thus ensuring a standard that for several seasons has remained unexcelled by other musical organisations has earned for the Palais de Dai.se the distinction of the city’s leading dancing h?ll by the acclamation ot patrons. The band's rangand choice of numbers incorporate all the latest and encore after encore is vociferously demanded. Coloured lights and streamers addeu to the gay spectacle and a specially selected programme was indulged in from 8 o’clock till 12. A delightful supper was served in a number of sittings and reflected credit upon those responsible for its dispensation. The time-honoured custom of wa-tzing for Dame Fortune’s favour saw all present engage in the merry whirl, and the lucky recipients of the Monte G»rlo: Miss Hargraves and Mr. Oldfield, Miss M. Crips and Mr. Coombes, Miss Garth and Mr. Bob Chadfield. Miss Betty Dent and Air. G. Shearer. A special spot for trot compettion was won by Mrs. Holden and Mr. G. Wadsworth who were applauded by those less fortunate. Mr. Bert Gilroy as usual, fulfilled the duties of M.C. in his inimitable manner and brought a delightful function to a happy termination as a late hour was reached.
