DANCE IN AID OF PORANGAHAU QUEEN

Well-Organised • Function The Central Hawke's Bay Rugby Carnival advanced a further step on Tuesday evening when a very jolly dance was held in the Masonic Hall, Waipukurau, in aid of the Porangahau Queen, Miss Jacqualine Ormond. The decorations in the dance hall, tliough simple were most effective. The windows were screened with bunches of greenery and vivid scarlet paper poppies, similar decorations being placed around the walls. From the small stage, which was massed with native greenery Wi Huncan's orchestra played popular dance music, having to respond to many encores. In the su^per room the long tables looked very gay, decorated witli tall vases of iceland poppies and small floating bowls in which wero artisticallyr arranged marigolds and ferns. The delicious savoury supper was much appreciated by the dancers.
