TENNIS PLAYERS HOLD GAY DANCE

ELLERSLIE CLUB To celebrate tlie opening of the new season tho Ellerslie Tennis Club held a very successful gala dance in the Parish Hall, Ellerslie, last evening.

The supper tables were graced with bowls of spring flowers. For the non-dancers card tables were set out in an adjoining room, which had been transformed into a cosy corner with the cheerful rad glow of the radiators cunningly concealed in the greenery. Excellent dance music was supplied by Mrs. Howell's Harmonic Orchestra.
