THE JAZZ BALL
Over a thousand tickets were sold for the first jazz ball in the Town Hall on Saturday night, but had ths floor been capable of accommodating twice or three times that number it would still have been .far too small, for after the procession had broken up crowds streamed towards the hall, only to be turned away. Possibly another hundred or two could have been crowded on the dancing floor, but the jazz committee very wisely decided that a jazz is a jazz, and that when a floor is packed beyond reasonable dancing limits the success of the evening is not so full. Wellington could very well have done with a couple more Town Halls as.tar as that first jazz evening was concerned, but there are more to fol> low—more jazz evenings, that is.
Some 200 entries have been received for the shop window display competition, and in decoration some remarkable results have been achieved, attracting widespread attention. The judging will takes place to-morrow and on Wednesday.
