Anne Croft (“The Girl Friend”) is letting her hair grow into a long buster. Soon she will have a row of curls at the nape of her neck. She will be known as the opal queen when she gets back to London. Fired by the dancing lights in the immense new ring her husband gave her, she allowed herself to be persuaded to buy an opal necklace a few days afterwards. There are supposed to be seven hundred diamonds in it as well—so the jeweller told her, anyway—-but Anne hasn't had time to count them on account of the constant stream of “Hit the Deck” girls crowding into her dressing room asking her dresser, Banksie, to show it to them. The necklace is really somebody’s heirloom, and is part of an estate in liquidation. ENGAGEMENT. The engagement is announced of Ivy Dorothy, younger daughter of Mr and the late Mrs MacKenzie, of Morrinsville, to Lawrence, eldest son of Mr and Mrs Marx, of Te Bore Bridge.
