CHARITY BALL

IN FANCY DRESS l Although the charity bull held at ' the Click Clack last evening was not the financial success that had been hoped for, the dancers present spent a very bright evening, d is to the untiring efforts of Mr. Thorpe. The number of fancy costumes worn was very disappointing, but those who did w»ar them were very cleverly dressed. The prize-winners were: Mr. Alt. j Smith, replete with collapsible cane, bowler, big turned-up boots and the absurdly short jacket, who clowned and entertained with comical antics as Charlie Chaplin. Mrs. Ryan was a scintillating "Star,' ol' the Twinkle! Twinkle variety! “Lady Nicotine 7 ’ was an effective costume worn by Miss Polly Kelly. Little Joan Anderson and Trevor Froggatt. both aged four, were decidedly the hit of the evening as a tiny bride and bridegroom. They later changed into costumes for ‘Darby and Joan.” v The Rev. Jasper Caklcr, in thanking Mr. Thorpe for his effort on behalf of the Auckland City Mission, said bow disappointed he was that the affair had not been a greater success and hoped that the next one. that Mr. Thorpe intends to hold at an early date, would, more than make up for their present disappointment. Mr. Sinclair, of the Regent Theatre, presented the prizes. Mrs. A. Folliek, who acted as hostess for the evening, wore a black chiffon velvet model, with embroideded finish in shades of amber and gold.
