New Year balls were the order of the night in places as far apart as Vila, New Hebrides, and Rabaul, New Guinea. The top photograph shows the prize winners at a fancy-dress b all held by the Vila Tennis Club — no titles were supplied so we can only guess that they represented (left to right): Hiawatha and Minehaha, Annie Oakley, Man from Mars, 1920 flapper, and Three Odes to a Grecian Urn. The bottom photo graph was taken at the New Guinea club ball and is part of a set that won first prize. We think maybe they represented an episode in the life of Ned Kelly. Or could it be Abe Lincoln?
