PATEA.

Dear Bee, Junk 18. At last our COMPLIMENTARY HALL to Mrs and the Misses Christie has eventuated, and lam glad to say was a marked success. The Harmonic Hail was very prettily decorated for the « o jasion—drapery, ferns, palms and flowers all being effectively pressed into the service. The music-piano and violin-supplied by the Misses Espagno and Eccles, was all that could be wished. The supper, under the arrangement of a ladies' committee—was exceedingly appetising and excellent. During the progress of the repast, Mr W. Wilson proposed the health of Mr and Mrs Christie and their family, saying how much esteemed they all were, and how greatly ap predated was their abundant hospitality. Mr Christie heartily thanked the speaker and all present on behalf of himself, his wife and family. Dancing was resumed after supper, and con tinued until early the next morning. The dresses were particularly effective, t hat of Miss Christie, a butantr, being specially

admired.
