4 Gossip We Must
(BY "CHANCE").
(Continued From Monday) Captain Oram and his Officers gave one of their usual enjoyable cocktall parties in the "Bruce" on Thursday night. Everybody seem- ed to be there, and in`gay spirits too. It was a smart gathering. Mrs. Fawkes just arrived from England on Wednesday," Was charming in figured chiffon, and she and her husband seemed to be enjoying the party I thought. Mrs. Beck, also just having re- turned from her holiday in Eng-V land was very pretty in brown Laffetta, Mrs. Gordon Duff, who We were all pleased to see out of the Nursing Home, created a most striking appearance in a long dress of old rose, finished with two lovely silver 10x furs. Cocktail frocks were much in evidence, and amongst those who favoured them were, Mrs. Green- 'ng in black and red. Mrs. Hinton in bottle green with silver collar and cuffs. Mrs. Murray's unusual brown and green was smart, Mrs. Fym, Noreen Cooper and Joyce Harris Walker were others in this fashionable mode. Mrs

There is another significant fact
which the world must bear in mind. Only recently M.
