DEVONPORT GUIDES

MASKED BALL Despite the continual rain last evening the Parish Hall, Devonport, was a scene of thronged gaiety when the Devonport First Company Girl Guides presented its annual fancy masked ball. The hall was decorated with coloured streamers and the Navy League orchestra supplied lilting music. The annual function serves to raise funds for the camp held every year and other purposes of the company. A capable committee had all arrangements well in hand and supper was expeditiously handled. Joyous youth thoroughly enjoyed itself and the “chain” was in constant demand; a slipper waltz, streamers and baloons made variations that were eagerly applauded. The dancing was controlled by Messrs. Weight and Farquharson. : Among the guests and dancers were: Mrs. H. It. Bennett, tyack beaded georgette, embroidered shawl. Mrs. Aughton, fawn satin gown.
