Tologa Bay Social.

(FBOM A COBBESrONDENT.) The inhabitants of Tologa Bay gave a subscription dance on Friday, the 6th instant, when nearly all the residents of the district availed themselves of the opportunity of meet, ing together for an evening's enjoyment. Upwards of twenty oouple were present, and all the fashions of the day were exhibited. Great praise is due to Mr Baker, tbe energetio secretary, who did all in his power to make things as pleasant and enjoyable as possible, in which he well succeeded, and I think all enjoyed themselves thoroughly. During the evening there were several songs rendered by various ladies and gentlemen, whose kindness contributed considerably towards making everything as pleasant as possible. Things went on smoothly till tbe early hours (4 30 a.m.), when the pleasure seekers dispersed to their respeotive homes. Borne of the ladies present wore very pretty dresses, and I think it was unanimously agreed that Miss Trimmer was belle of the ball ; Mrs Houghton and Miss Hale also looked very nice. The following are a tew of the dresses worn during the evening :—Mies Trimmer—Black dress with broad pink sash, pink ribbon round her neck, and a boquet of jonquils on her breast; exceedingly pretty. Mrs IJpughton— Black silk dress, trimmed with muslin delaise. Miss Hale—Black dress, with pink ribbons and a tasteful bunch of ferns; very neat. Mies Spence—Black dress, with blue bows. Miss B.
