Coming of Age Party. On Saturday evening Mr and Mrs F. Tildesley gave a dance at the homestead, "Rantan Hill,” to celebrate the coming of ago of their daughter Mavis. The rooms were beautifully decorated, coloured streamers and balloons radiating from the ceilings. Pink roses, asters and phlox set in crystal vases were in all the room and on the supper tables. The guests all wore paper hats, giving the whole scene a very gay and festive appearance. Mrs Tildesley received her guests,, of which there were over sixty, wearing a frock of green lace with bridge coat to tone. Miss Tildesley wore pink floral net over pink satin. A delightful supper was served and in proposing the toast of the guest of the evening Mr E. W. Cheetham presented Miss Tildesley with a gold key. Miss Tildesley was also the recipient of a great many beautiful birthday presents. Mr H. Myers proposed the toast of the host and hostess which was given musical honours. The singing of Auld Lang Syne brought to a close one of the most enjoyable parties'ever held in the district.
