PAPATOETOE HOCKEY CLUB

FIRST ANNUAL BALL BRILLIANT GATHERING The Papatoetoe Town Hall was the < scene of a brilliant and enjoyable function last evening, when the i*apatoetoe Hockey Club held its first annual ball. The decorations were charmingly bright and pretty, consisting of multi-coloured streamers and balloons suspended to form a g&y canopy, and the walls were bedecked with a mass of punga fronds and bambo. The stage, fitted as a lounge, was heavily laden with greenery, and the . beautiful hall made a delightful setting for the many beautiful gowns worn by . the ladies. There were about 100 couples present, and dancing was indulged in till the early hours of the morning. A number of very pleasing extras were contributed by Miss Stonex and Miss Rita Burnside. During the evening a dainty supper was provided and dispensed by the members of the club, assisted by friends. Messrs. Moore and Dr. Jameson acted as MC.’s.

Some people seem to have the large size” complex, which is just a variation of the “long run.” To be told that the large size bottle at 2s lid contains more than twice as much as the smaller one at Is 8d exercises a hyplotic influence on them. Have you ever tried to get through i 71b. pot of jam? I once did my best to help a frugally-inclined friend to finish hers, since when I have ceased to wonder that 71b. in one jar is so rftuch less costly than seven single lib. pots. Whv should anyone want to buy tapioca by the 281 b., unless they’re running a boys’ school or an institution? But there are folk who will buy that amount because it works out 4d. cheaper than if they purchased in separate pounds. Butchers and fishmongers have that “long run” mind. You want a small joint or lilb. of fish, but unless you happen to be known as a woman of strong and determined mind you’ll have the advantages of half a sheep or a whole cod brought to your notice. Instead of pushing pillows under mattresses to prevent a child falling out of bed, procure two thin boards the length of the bed and about a foot wide and place these on the inside of the top and bottom posts on each side of the bed on top of wire mattress (the fibre mattress will hold the boards in position). This will be found to give much more room, and the child cannot possibly roll out.
