AWITU.

Dear Bee, February 10. We had such a delightful minstrel entertainment and dance given by those popular people, MR AND MRS E. P. LODGE. The stage was beautifully lighted by two patent chandeliers, each burning three lamps. The following took part:—Messrs Thos. Rowe, Chas. White, W. Young, Frank Brook, R. Collins. Messrs E. P. Lodge and Charles White were exceptionally good. I have not space to give the songs. During the dance I noticed THE LADIES’ DRESSES. They were so pretty I send you some of those I can remember. Amongst the married ladies were Mrs Lodge, pink net, trimmings to suit; Mrs Wills, black silk; Mrs J. Brook, lilac silk; Mrs G. Brook, cream silk; Mrs F. Brook, black delaine; Mrs Tindal, brown silk; Mrs Clark, cream delaine ; Mrs Saunders, black lace ; Mrs D. Evans, white; Mrs Pye, steel grey : Mrs J. Torbett, white ; Mrs Hills, terracotta; and the Misses Finch, white and salmon pink ; M. Finch, blue and white ; Paltridge, black fisherman’s net; Chapman, light blue ; J. Chapman, cream lace; L. Muir, black, pink trimmings: J. Cant, red net; Short, blue sateen; Tindal, white ; Condon, pink striped ; M. Garland, lilac.
