Auckland Club Host to Visitors ENJOYABLE “AT HOME’’ The commander, Captain Abriaf, and the officers of the visiting French cruiser Tourville were the guests of the president and members of the Auckland Club at a particularly enjoyable and successful “At Home" yesterday afternoon. Brightly-coloured flags draped tho walls, around which were clusters of tall palms and flowering pot plants—all combining to make a most charming decorative effect in the dining room, which had been cleared for dancing. Cocktails were served in the lounges, and upstairs in the billiard room tea was served. The billiard room tea tables were decorated with a most impressive flower colour scheme of yellow, blue and mauve, feathery wattle in its golden blooms, and irises in their softest blues enhancing considerably the superb floral effect. On each table was a large wicker basket in mauveblue tones, filled with clusters of trumpet daffodils, tall wattle and yellow jonquils. Stately irises, iceland poppies, daffodils and deep purple violets also decorated the tables. Upon arrival the guests were received by the vice-president, Air. A. E. Warnock, and Airs. Warnock in the unavoidable absence of the president, Air. P. Luckie. Airs. Warnock wore a modish frock of black georgette, with furs and hat to match, and she carried a lovely bouquet of freezias, irises and violets. Dr. Anclra Warnock, daughter of Air. and Airs.
