CAMBRIDGE.

Dear Bee. July 13. On Thursday evening the ladies of Cambridge gave A DANCE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE, and it was a great success. The floor was splendid, ami the music good. The committee had gone to entile** trouble in decorating. 1 think I never saw the hall looking better. The stage was made picturesque with greenery and carpets and easy »hairs, and small tables for bridge for the non-dancers. Three parts of the new supper-room was used by the dancers for sitting-out. and it was most charmingly transformed. As one entered from the hall-room, a large fern tree occupied the centre of the room, arounj which cushioned seats were arranged to form a triangle, and all sorts of <• -y corner* were arranged by meanfl of screens and nikau palms, etc. The general effv.-t was charming. The supper was excellent. The table was tastefully hi. \ntu-d with pink and white camellia*. There were just a sufficient number pres- ;r to be able to dance with comfort. «nu to judge by the happy faces, all seen? 1 to l»e having a gond time. Amongst tho*e present were: Mrs. J. R.
