HAWERA.

Dear Bee, OCTOBER 12. • Those who have been the guests at the , , 'CLUB EUCHRE PARTIES this season gave a return to the club last Thursday in the torn; of a, euchre party and dance, held in the Foresters’ Hall. Although there have been so many euehre parties this winter, all those present were as enthusiastic as -ever, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The promoters of the “return” must have worked very hard, indeed, to make it the success it was, as everything went off with such ajswiug. The bare walls of the hall were quite transformed with numerous tings draped about, and masses of greenery here ■and there gave a decidedly, pretty effect. The end of the room, cosily fitted up as . _a . drawing.-r00m,.. wasmuch appreciated by non-euohre players. A hew idea, in the way of selecting partners for euehre was made use of. and great fun it caused-, too. - The ladies all represented different characters, and they played with the partners who corresponded with the name on their card. For instance, Sir Henry Irving had for his partner Ellen Terry, Punch payed with Judy, Jack with Jill, and so on. One really began to wonder what century we were living in when you would come across Adam vainly searching for Eve. The lucky winners of the Ist and 2nd prizes for the ladies were Miss Day (Wedgwood teapot) and Miss V. Dingle (purse and eard case). The winners of the gentlemen’s prises were Mr J. Glenn (Ist, a silver pencil) and Mr Day (2nd, a Silver matchbox). After euchre, a dainty Supper was handed Tound, and then' we had dancing until about two o’clock. 'Amongst the ladies present I noticed: —Mrs O’Callaghan, .wearing a gown of blaek satin, the corsage relieved with a collarette of ecru luce; Airs Payne, cream silk blouse, prettily trimmed, black skirt; Airs Buckly, dainty frock of white silk muslin over, pink silk slip, dove-coloured eoat, trimmed with white fur; Mrs Wostonra, handsome toilette of black net over silk foundations t lie iif-t being prettily trimmed with bcbe ribbon ;’ Mrs Webster looked charming in a gown of white silk, profusely tucked; Airs C.
