Excellent decorative use was made of the trellised arch in the Rewa Lounge on Saturday evening, when another enjoyable dance was given by the Mt. Egmont Alpine Club. Fern fronds and streamers in the club colours, blue and gold, were entwined in the trellis, and the pillars were massed with streamers and blue hyacinths. Round the walls were skis and ski sticks, and jardinieies of hyacinths added colour to the mantel and wall brackets. Mr. W. O'Shannessy acted as master of ceremonies. A Manaia member caused amusement by singing a song of his own composition, entitled "A Fast Pair of Skis," with some topical allusions. The funds of this series of dances will provide a substantial sum to provide Christmas parcels for the forty club members now in the forces. | Farewell Dance. Bowls of choice tulips and delicate cherry blossom made a bright setting in the reception rooms at Mrs. A. K. Fyson's home on Friday evening, when Miss Audrey Williams was hostess to a party of young people, to farewell Miss Margaret Duffill, who is to leave shortly to commence dental clinic training.
