DANCE.
An informal dance was held at the Veteran's
Club on November 26th, 1930. In spite of the
inclement weather, a large number of members
and friends turned up and spent a very enjoy
able evening. The music was provided by the
Vernon Players Dance Band, and their rendering
of the dance tunes was much appreciated.
Another dance is to be arranged, notice of
which will appear in due course in the columns
of the Ypres Times. The fact that you do not
dance must not deter you from taking part in
this pleasurable pastime.

privileged to hold again at the Westminster
City School, 55, Palace Street, S.W.i (kindly

day, January 10th. Members of the Junior
Branch are admitted free of charge, and a
limited number of friends wishing to attend

tickets should be made not later than January

opportunity to enroll their children as members
(subscription is. per annum).
Tea commences at 4 p.m., followed by a
ventriloquist entertainment.
Last year a large number of children were
present, and we expect an increased attendance
this year. To some this event is the only
treat enjoyed during the Christmas season, so
we urge that all our members will again give
their best support and make the party a success.
Towards the end of the evening there will be a
Christmas Tree, and we ask very earnestly for
gifts of toys or donations, which will be grate
fully received by the Hon. Secretary, London
