SOCIAL EVENING

YOUNG COUPLE ENTERTAINED PRIOR TO THEIR MARRIAGE A large number of guests were present at an evening given for Miss Marjorie Looney and Mr Torrie (who are to be married shortly) in the Waiotahi Hall on Friday. Miss Looney's Opotiki friends brought useful kitchen gifts and a working committee, under the supervision of Mr. H. Simpson, had decorated the hall with coloured papers which hung in maypole style from the centre of the roof of the walls. The Gaiety Orchestra played the dance numbers with two lively extras by Miss Marjorie Looney and Mr. B. Burr. Miss L. Rau and Mr. M. Butterworth won a Monte Carlo. During the evening Mr. S.
