rE Lae Social and Sports Club was officially formed and launched recently. Having a balance in hand of some £39 (derived from a dance held at the Hotel Cecil on July 29) it was decided to hold another dance, August 24.

Mr. C. C. Becket, was unanimously elected President, and a good worhiig committee was elected to support him. Tennis, cricket, swimming and so forth are being inaugurated, and a lot of work faces the committee in providing grounds for these sports and baths for the swimming.

AN enjoyable dance, under the auspices of the Lae Social & Sports Club, was held in the Recreation Hall at Hotel Cecil, Lae, on August 24. It marked the first function of the kind since the Club was officially formed. The committee had the hall tastefully decorated and the floor in good order for dancing.

Supper was provided by the ladies, and it stands to their credit that so tasty a variety of savouries and sweets was laid before the guests in this land of “no plenty.” Such functions are marked by the delightful frocking of the ladies — and the inability of the males to appear in anything approaching pre-war attire. —Own Correspondent.
