Guy Fawkes Dance

Takapuna Boating Club Holds High Revel TOPICAL NOVELTIES A very gay host of dancers thronged the popular boating clubhouse at Bayswater last evening, when the Takapuna Boating Club held a special Guy Fawkes dance. The very realistic scenic canvases decorating the ballroom made an effective setting for the numbers of beautiful frocks. Downstairs the supper room was transformed with arches of feathery bamboo and gently-swing-ing Chinese lanterns, while gay Iceland poppies made splashes of colour among the greenery on the tables. Original novelties had been arranged to add to the enjoyment of the guests. Confetti was showered upon the dancers by four tiny children dressed as Guy Fawkes, who were seated on swings suspended from the ceiling. A bonfire and a generous supply of crackers were features of the evening, and added to the general excitement. Miss Margaret O’Connor and partner demonstrated the newest ballroom dances.
