THE SOCIAL WORLD.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK.

THE HUNT CLUB BALL.

Sounds of revelry emanated from Tem-
ple Court last Thursday evening. The oc

casion was the annual Hunt Club ball
always one of the most successful balls of
the season - and this year's event eclipsed
those of former years. lt was more like a
big private party than a public ball. There
were about 600 people present, and the
many beautiful frocks worn and the hunts-
men in their "pink" composed a colourful
moving picture.

The ball was under the patronage of his
Excellency the Administrator (Sir John
Northmore). Miss Northmore was pre-
sent, with Major Kerr-Pearse in attend-
ance. She wore an elegant frock of rich
Burgundy georgette. Miss Northmore
was met on arrival by the president of
the Hunt Club (Mr. J. B. Durack) and
Mrs. Durack, who wore a graceful frock
of georgette in a soft shade of ashes of
roses, with a shoulder spray of violets and
a chic parchment-tinted coatee of satin
lace georgette.

There was one debutante. Miss Audrey
Rogers of Northam, who, during the
evening, was presented to Miss North
more by Mrs. J. P. Durack. She was a
dainty figure in a charming frock of white
georgette, fashioned with ruching around
the foot of the long, full skirt, the same
new finishing touch edging the chic coatee.
She carried a sweet posy of pink sweet
peas and maidenhair fern.

Supper was served in the restaurant on
tables gay with artistic floral decorations'
of spring wild flowers and garden flowers
which intermingled harmoniously and pro-
duced a garden-like galaxy of colour.

Temple Court Orchestra supplied excel-
lent music, which included many old-time
dance numbers and old, familiar tunes, to
which the merry throng of dancers danced
gaily. There wt re lancers, merry chains,
polkas, waltzes, and even gallops. Gaiety
was the keynote of the proceedings.

After supper, favours were scattered
from the balconies, rousing hunting
choruses were sung with great gusto, and a
Sir Roger dc Coverley was danced with
vim by everyone.

No effort had been spared by the com-
mittee responsible for all arrangements in
connection with the ball, and the result
was one of the jolliest and happiest balls
of the year. The personnel of the com-
mittee included Mr. and Mrs. J. P.
Durack. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Poynton, Mr.
and M ivs. D. D. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. A.

dell, Jessie Meares, Mrs. Victor Harwood
and Miss Edna Smily (joint honorary sec
retaries) ; Messrs. George Gwynne, Weir,

OLD GUILDFORDIANS' DANCE.
The Old Guildfordians intend holding
their annual ball this year during Show
Week. It will take place in the Y.A.L.
Hall on Tuesday, October 4. The com-
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Brian Beres-
ford, John Oldham, and Bill Duff (the
enthusiastic honorary secretary) have ar-
rangements well in hand, and the event
promises to be even more successful than
their dances of former years. The idea of
holding the dance in Show Week is a
very good one, as it enables Old Guild
fordians from various parts of the State
who are in town for the Show to be pre-
sent. It also affords an opportunity- for
them to. meet and renew friendships made
during their college days.
