BLENHEIM.

August 11. A Dance. Mrs. Barnett gave a most delightful dance for young people at her charming residence, “Kaydale,” Tua Marina, on Friday night. The young people were conveyed in drags from town, and, after a most jolly drive, reached “Raydale” at about half-past eight. A sumptuous supper was served in the morning-room. The tables looked charming, and presented a most alluring effect, being arranged with Ted japonica and Christmas roses and scarlet centre-pieces. The large verandahs were most suitably arranged for sit-ting-out* Dancing was continued until

the small hours of 'the morning, when the guests departed for home, after one of the jolliest dances of the season. Mrs. Barnett received her guests wearing black silk voile, relieved with white lace; Miss Barnett wore rose silk relieved with black velvet; Miss E. Barnett, cream silk; Miss M.
