Social Gossip

By Christabel.

THERE is not the slightest doubt about the success of the hockey dance for the visitors. All seem to have had "a glorious time." to use their own expression. It was no htble undertaking bo introduce and entertain over eighty strange girls, and it is quite refreshing to know that all men are not as altogether selfish as some, people would Like us to believe, for these bachelor hostisi forgot self entirely, and not even th© most fascinatif Lti was their duty to stay and look if it were their duty to stay and look after the guests. One girl laughingly explained the modus operandi, and says that immediately upon her entrance into the room two committeemen strode up. One queried "Visitor?" and the other "Your name ? " and in less than no time her programme was quite filled. The hosts were Messrs. Hjorring, Rawson, Bridge, Arbor, Sclanders, Tolhurst, Rhind, Finch. Harvey, Nelson, Swanston, and E. Reid, and they are to be congratulated upon their enjoyable dance.

Invitations have been issued by a committee of gentlemen for a return dance to the Wellington Girls High School Old Girls It is to take place in the Sydney-street Hall, on Friday, September 25th. Mr. Fleming will supply the music and Mr. Godber has charge of the catering, so, with such good arrangements, the dance should .prove thoroughly enjoyable, and will be one of the last of the season. The following are the coinmitteemen Messrs. E. Blundell, K. Morpeth, B. Devine, H. Gill. G. B. Holmes A A. Mcc, H. Pone P. H. Putnam, P. PyeSmith The hookey girls were, entertained on Tuesday night last week at a very successful performance of "A China Maid The hall (St. Peter's) was crowded with the teams and their friends, and. after the entertainment, they were all entertained at supper by the Association. It was very disappointing that the final hockey match on Tuesday had to "be postponed because of the bad weather and great was the speculation as to the fate of fhe pins so generously promised by Mr. H. Rawson to each player in the winnma team (represented tires) As the result *as a draw, Mrs. Louis Blundell kindl- came to the rescue with a promise of similar Pins foi one team so Mr. Ramon's being already available * ere presen ted by Mrs. Rawson to the visitmcr «r, r ls at an impromptu but very en lovable artern"?n tek, at her residence, on Tuesday afternoon . * * The last of the teams returned home on Wednesday and all vote the tournament a huge success. C^Xmselvef visitors seem to have enioyed , tnemsel* es +horou2hlv. I think great credit is due tf the local girls, and especially to the popular and tactful secretary Mii M MacGregor, for the smooth atd Pleasant way in h tournament has passed off. The > as^f ance of a number of .the hockey men was also much appreciated The Cravens well deserved the cup fo- their plucky play throughout but next year we all hope it will be left behmd In Wellington. Many on ookeis think that the Haw era players if they con mue to practice well, should make a good fight for it next season so the Cravens will find their work cut out to defend it. * + * The annual 'At Home" given under the auspices of the Anglican Chinch was held in the Paiochia l Hall l, Ka ion, on Monday mtfit September /th, when despite the dreadful weather a laige number of visitors attended. 'Musical chairs," for the children was a very great success and musical items were contributed by Miss Stevenson who sang "Close Your Dreamy Eyes and "The Swallows " both songs being much enioved . aaid Mr. F. Y. Waters whose fine voice was heard to great advantage in "Kind's Champion," and Yeoman's Wedding Song." * * Mr E. J. King's band was in attendance, and added much to the enjoyment of the evening A vote of thanks was passed to the ladies of the guild for the supper provided, and a hearty vote of thanks to the Rev. A. L. Hadsell was proposed hv Mr Tisdale (Mayor of Karon) The evening wound up at 10 o'clock by the sineing or the "National Anthem. * * * Mrs J. and Mrs. H.

A "toast party" is quite a novelty. each guest providing herself with some "toast," original and appropriate in honour of the bride-elect * * * Mrs Carmichael (mother of the bride) and Mrs. Ireland (mother of the bridegroom) wore handsome black costumes After the usual toasts had been honoured, the happy couple left by the afternoon tram for Wanganui.

On Monday evening the Sydney-street

Schoolroom was packed to the doors, and round after round of applause gieeted the clever performers. The stage had been veiry tastefully decorated ioi the occasion and the programme was divided into a semes of groups, r©piesentmg dances from various countries. * * * The little children, some almost babies were most graceful m their movements, and the older pupils exhibited skill and talent that would not have disgraced professionals. A delightful Japanese picture was the opening tableau, and three tiny girls, the Misses Maisie Grey and Mildred and Dora Henry, in Japanese costume, danced a quaint measure, holding large Japanese umbrellas. * * * Then, Dora Levi, Ada, Barnett, and May Bramley executed a pretty fan dance, amd Joan Kendall, Alison Burnett and I. and Rita Bunny were effectively grouped as Japanese ladies.

Later, an, American cake walk, by the older uupils — Mi=ses Levi. Hamer. and Braimley, and Masters Muir, Focke. and Bramley — was particularly well done and "brought down the house." The Irish dances were very nopular. Gladys Faulke, Dudu Henrys, Dora Levi Havrv Bramley. Roy Muir, Herman Focke, Peggy Turnbull, Nonie Tabuteau, Eric Reeves Clare Henry,

George Ritlmg, and K. Muir took part in the iigs. "Mem© England" intioduced a well-executed hornpipe and several charming old English measures danced by the Misses Rita Bunny, Maisie Reeves, E. Henry, Barbara Goring, Dorothy Hamer, J. Bunny, Jean Menteath, E. Henry, and L. Dyei , all w earing the daintiest of dresses. Then followed a delightful "dance capn," by Miss Estelle Beere, who herself composed both dance and music. This well deserved the enthusiastic encoie it received for it was one of the

most trying and difficult of dances — a toe danee — in which the performer balances on the tips of her toes. Very few dancers, even in professional life, attempt this difficult feat, but Miss Beere was most successful. Her frock, too, was very pretty, being a pink silk ballet dress, over quantities of lace skirts, and wreathed with French rose®. * ♦ * Then followed one of the most charming of the tableaux, entitled "In Sunny Spain " in which several picturesque movements, and a pas seul to an invisible chorus were introduced. Miss Nonie Tabuteau, as the soloist, wore a beautiful Spanish frock, and danced with exquisite grace, and the "La Serenade," arranged by Miss Estelle Beere. was rich with charming poses.

Miss I. Curtis was very successful with a Maori "poi" dance, which was loudly applauded.

Reardon, and D. Henrys. * * * Not the least enjoyable were the Scotch dances, comprising Highland flings, the ribbon reel', and schottische, by the Misses Jean Menteath, Jean Kendall, Girlie -Maughan- Barnett, Dorothy and Eudora Henry, Lulu Dyer, Barbara Goring;, Dorothy Hamer, and I Bunny. The music was supplied by the Williams orchestra, and every dance was arranged by Miss Estelle Beere, whose patience must be marvellous.
