A BIRTHDAY PARTY. A very enjoyable evening was spent by a large party of friends and relatives who foregathered at Mr. Joe Stachurski’s home j on Thursday night to celebrate the twentyfirst birthday of Miss Strachurski. Some ( fifty persons were present. Dancing and songs carried the time along till the glint of daylight—or was it the brilliance of the moon ?—reminded the happy revellers that another day had arrived. Vocal items in the evening’s programme were- given by Mrs. W. Taylor, Messrs. Pearce, Lumsden and Schofield, while music for the dances was supplied by Messrs. F. Grylls and V. Drawitzki. Comment on the excellent refreshments would be superfluous. The least than can be said is that if only a modicum of the good wishes showered on the heroine of the evening are realised she will be a most fortunate young woman.
