From Our Own Correspondent.
TULAGI, January 10.
THE “Residency” staged a Fancy Dress affair on Christmas night, much to the enjoyment of those pre sent, and a similar event was given on the 28th by the Gavotu (Lever’s) Re creation Club.
At this there must have been the better part of a hundred guests present, including the Mataram’s passengers and officers. The Fancy Dress judges had no difficulty in deciding on Mrs.
Ashley (wife of the R.C.) as being the best of the ladies, with her portrayal of a Venetian lady; while in the men’s section Major Frank Hewitt gave them an easy task with his “Mrs. Gamp.”
If the judges erred at all, it was in not awarding Bertie Johnstone a spe cial prize for his most appropriate “Pirate.”
