OLD TIME DANCES

FIXTURES IN PONSONBY New dances have had their vogue and faded out of fashion and entirely out of memory, but the old dances, though they have been shouldered into the background, still hold an unassailable niche of their own. Those devotees of the old styles will find the dances held every Wednesday and ! Saturday in the O’Neill Street hall, Ponsonby, provide programmes of square dances and waltzes that one can enjoy. A good floor, an unsurpassed orchestra, and sociable company are to be found there. On September 7 there will be a fancy dress competition for the children. The earlier part of the evening will be devoted to the children’s ball, adults being excluded from the floor until half-past nine o’clock. At the conclusion of every evening there will be a free bus to Point Chevalier by way of the Great North Road.

None of the players in the picture used grease paint. The locale of the story is the Texas Bad Land.
