WANGANUI.

Dear Bee, August 23 As we like to see our little affairs early in the Graphic, I am sending you a brief account of our BACHELORS* BALL, though probably your usual correspondent will send you a fuller one. It was held in the Druid's hall on Wednesday evening and was a pronounced success, floor, music and supper being all*that foot, ear and mouth could desire. The eye was also gratified bv the very pretty decorations, the large number of lamps adding much to the good effect. There were very many pretty frocks in the hall. Amongst them I noticed Mrs Mill ward, in black with white touches; Mrs D'Arcy. most becoming ivory white costume * Mrs Aylmer, a handsome Bordeaux silk softened with a good deal of white lace; Mrs J. Aylmer, white satin ; Mrs J.
