"PLEASING VARIËTY" The dance programme provided pleasing variety and Included fox trots, waltz, and the Military two step. The always popular Paul Jones was also provided and a Scottish atmosphere was intro duced by way of the eightsome reel and Highland Scottische both of which were thoroughly enjoyed. From the end of the ninth dance, which was the eightsome reel, sup- per was served in an adjoining room which was also gaily de- corated.
THE OFFICIALS
In connection with the commit- tees responsible for the success of the dance special mention must be
made of Mr. J. Polson, who had charge of the streamers decora- tions and Mr. S. Newman whose work with the coloured lights was well-nigh perfect.
