A JOLLY PARTY

A very jolly plain and fancy dress party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Proud, in Ridings Road, Remuera, last evening. Mrs. Proud received the guests in a black lace model worn over flesh-tinted satinrusse. A most enjoyable evening was spent in dancing, and the dance room looked very gay with the bright colours of the frocks. Supper was served in the lounge, and social chatter indulged in by the ladies. The guests included: Mrs. H. Meek, wearing a frock of floral georgette. Mrs. George, in an effective Spanish dancer’s costume. Miss N. Jowett, black marocain gown with cerise relief. Miss J. McArthur, an alluring Lady of the Harem. Miss E. Anderson, frock of navy crepe de chine with French embroidered trimming. Miss E. Meek, a captivating Queen of Hearts. Miss Ovens, representing “Night,” carried out in dark blue and silver. Miss D. Masefield, who was a Maori poi dancer. Miss F. Jowett, in an original costume advertising “Lion Ale.” Miss K. George, an Elizabethan lady of distinction. Miss J. Leslie, frock of rose taffeta and gold lace. Miss M. Masefield, a gipsy girl of the Rumanian tribes. Miss C. Valentine, crystal beaded Nile green georgette model and black embroidered shawl. Miss J. Ilbert, in a bright costume as a Pack of Cards. Miss J. Johnston, sequin trimmed cherry crepe de chine frock. Mr. Proud caused much amusement in a yellow costume as a “Flapjack.” Mr. Kosoof was a brave “Toreador” of old Spain. Mr. R. Meek, a. very serious Parson. Mr. J. Beesley, in an original costume as “Tarzan.” Mr. Harris, a gallant Sir Walter Raleigh, resplendent in satin and lace. Mr. Masefield, a comical Charlie Chaplin. Mr. F.
