Poppy Fund

$100 BY HARMSTON CIRCUS

Always to the fore in helping deserving causes, the officials and members of the Kowloon Football Club gave an open air dance on Saturday night in ald of Earl Haig's Poppy Fund.

The hard tennis courts of the Club were converted into a dance hall, and although the gritty sur- ince was not conducive to good dancing, there was, however, a very large attendance, and all thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

The air was just nippy enough to prevent "wall flowers" from taking root, with the result that everyone stepped out to the lat- est music supplied by Mr. Phil. Stott's band of musicians.

A Gay Scene

The Club's premises and ground presented a very guy scene.

There was a plethora of bunting and coloured lights, and the charming dresses of the ladies had certainly helped to transform the tennis lawn into a "fairyland."

The haunting melodies of A dreamy waltz floated In the air before the feativity began. and passers-by could hardly resist the temptation to buy n ticket and walk in to share the win.

The bar also did a roaring trade and mine hosts"--Messrs, Jeeves and Bond-wère at their best tempting the men from their partners.

-Lottery Tickets Lottery tickets with something "tempting" as prizes were sold, and the drawing took place before the party broke up. Mr. V. C. Labrum manipulated the hat and the winning numbers. One prize -a bottle of perfume-was won by Mrs. Hast, and another bottle of the same scent went to Mra. Tetherick.
