"It would be a good idea, if possible, to have an orchestra ofi guitars, banjos and meuth organs to supply appropriate dance musie --and supper served outside round a fre."
"The supper table could be decoratixl with Australian Blowery and gum leaves,"
Alma Johnson, aged 18, of 107 Broome Street, Cottesloe, WA, has this to suggest.
