ENTERTAINMENTS.

" Victory " Ball TO-NIGHT For the past few years, owing to the strain and stress of war, indulgence in entertainments requiring at all heavy expense in production have been inadvisable from the economic point of view, and also, perhaps, not in good taste while the cables were laden with messages that chilled the hearts and brought tears to tho eyes of bereaved ones. Now, happily, the golden sun of peace sheds its rays from horizon to horizon, and we can once more enter into the zest and lilt of life.

The revival of indoor peace time entertainments might well be said to be signified in Pukekohe by the " Victory " Bali, b?ing held by the Loyal Pukekohe Lodge, M.U., 1.0.0.

Those to whom the glamour of the ballroom and the charming recreation of dancing appeals will miss something wonh while if they f-iil to attend tonight.

A coiiimodio s fish room, capable of holding a small trawler load of lish was included in the equipment, and so on. The movies took one from tho domestic quarteis right through to the splendid dining rooms, whero a large crowd of typical New Yorkers and cosmopolitans could be seen satisfying the wants of the " inner man." The star and supporting features give feeling, colour and variety, pathos and humour to a numerous and appreciative houso.
