AIR FORCE QUEEN CARNIVAL BALL

SUCCESSFUL FUNCTION Gaiety prevailed in the Town Hall last night, when airmen of the R.N.Z.A.F. station, Taieri, forsook aeronautics for the dance floor to attend the Air Force Queen Carnival ball, which was sponsored by the officers and men of the station to aid the Air Force Queen funds. The decorations were done by the Gardening Circle of the Otago Women’s Club, and the stage presented an unusual appearance as the organ pipes were hidden hy latticework, interlaced with greenery, dotted here and there with pink and scarlet flowers. Above this was the U.N.Z.A.F. flag, with a crown beneath it. During the” evening Jim Murray’s Swing Stars provided bright and attractive numbers. Just after O.JO, the Air Force Queen escorted by Squadron-leader G. Stedman, entered the hall with her retinue of attendant countesses. Miss Pratt wore a model gown of heavy georgette, and a shoulder spray of shaded velvet flowers in pink and' lilac. Attending her were the Misses Nellie Hcrlihy (black French embroidered frock), Alwyn Nicol (deep blue georgette), Betty Thomas (cherry chiffon), Lexie Mathieson (peach taffeta), Mary Bennetts (blue georgette), and * Mrs J. H. Stevenson Tpowdcr blue lace). Knob wore a sparkling coronet and an Air Force blue sash, which was affixed lo the shoulder hy nn Air Force Queen badge. Their escorts were officers of the B.N.Z.A.F.

dancers was the Army Queen (Miss Airini Grennell), who wore gold figured satin beneath a black velvet cloak.
