SPINSTERS' BALL AT MARUA The young women of Marua should be well pleased with their ball, as their venture was a marked success. For days a hard-working band of spinsters were busily engaged decorating, and on entering the hall last Friday evening a pleasing scene met the eye. The centre ceiling of the hall was a huge circular construction of green and pink paper, cunningly twisted and arranged in fantastic fashion. Four smaller circles occupied the four corners of the hall. From all rings streamers of green and pink stretched to the sides of the hall, while from the centre of the circles Chinese lanterns in green and pink were suspended. The stage was prettily decorated with an arch of lycopodium, with pink poppies entwined, while two pretty rimu trees stood guard at the sides of the; stage. The walls were decorated with nikau. the windows being draped with lycopodium and poppies. So popular was the event that the dancing space was more than taxed, and seating accommodation unobtainable.

Cunningham’s Orchestra supplied excellent music, while extras were played by Mrs. Hirtzel and Messrs. Sparks and Saul. The dancers came from Hukerenui, Whakapara, Matapouri, Otonga, Portland, Opuawhanga, Whangarei and Hikurangi, and enjoyed themselves thoroughly, as the dance was kept going merrily until 3.30 a.m.

CRICKET CLUB DANCE Despite counter-attractions at Kauri, Portland and Onerahi, the first dance promoted this season by the Whangarei Thursday Trades Cricket Club, and held in Gardner's Hall on Friday evening, was most successful.

Extras were provided by Miss 1., Eoos and Mr. Smyth. The floor was in splendid * condition and was favourably commented upon by the dancers.
