Volunteer Fire Brrgacre Annual Ball. There was an animated scene at the Town Hall, Foxton, on Tuesday night when the Foxton Volunteer Fire Brigade hold their annual ball, which event is always considered "the ball of the season.” Free char-a-banc services were run from ReiKllng - , Palmerston North, Otaki and Levin in connection with the function and these were well patronised, with the result that the large hall was ■comfortably filled with dancers who spent a thoroughly jolly evening. The beautiful decorations comprised a web of red, gold and blue ' streamers and baboons which canopied the. ballroom and were arranged to fall in the form of a dome from a huge square of interlacing su'eaniers which were intertwined with dozens of tiny coloured lights, adding to the wonderful beauty of the arrangement. Over all, and. just beneath the roof, was a huge illuminated bell. At the end ot the hall, facing the door, a decorated dias had been arranged for the professional orchestra which supplied entrancing music. Adding to the gaiety of the scene in which the fun waxed fast and furious, were fancy hats, confetti and throw-outs. In the supper room the colour scheme of red, gold and blue was continued. The artistically arranged tables, at which waited an energetic band of heloers, were laden with an array ot tempting delicacies, making a scene to delieht the ey6, Mr. A- Walls cairicc. out'the duties of M.C., and during supt?er, extras wer© supplied from the talkie eaufpment of th 6 hall. ’The dress circle of the hall was well patronised by a large number of onlookers who appeared to be enjoying the fun as much as those participating below.
