The supper, which was supplied by the local ladies, was much enjoyed. Shortly before supper Mr Methven generously performed a step-dance, which was deservedly appreciated. After supper dancing was resumed, and continued with unabated enjoyment till near 3 o'clock, when the last dance was called and the social broke up, each person carrying away the memories of a happy evening. It is unnecessary to individualise the dresses worn by the ladies ; "but let it be enough to say that they looked, as young ladies should look, pretty, lovable, and intensely happy.
