MORRINSVILLE PARTY

COMING-OF-AGE CELEBRATED A most enjoyable party was held in the Masonic Hall, Morrinsville, on Saturday night, when Mr and Mrs H. A. Munro entertained over 100 guests to celebrate the coming-of-age of their daughter, Wynne. The hall was decorated with masses of greenery and bowls of spring flowers. Items given during the evening were:—Songs, Miss E. Scott, Air Drumm; national dancing, Valerie Trotter; elocution, Air B. Moriaty. Alusic for dancing was supplied by Air W. Glasscock’s Orchestra.

A novel feature of the evening occurred at supper time when the Morrinsville Caledonian Band piped in the cake which was cut by the guest of the evening.
