Ladies Hockey Club "At Home"

The V.C. Ladies' Hockey Club was "At Home" on the evening of July 20th, It was quite pleasant to see them "at page 47 home "somewhere, even if it was not on the hockey field. The fact that the Government House Ball fell on the same night, (His Excellency had evidently not been informed that the ladies had chosen it for their "ball") probably accounted for the absence of that entirely ornamental, long-suffering and comparatively useless array of ladies, who under the high sounding title of "chaperones" are accustomed to look interested on such occasions, from the dance-hall platform.

The ladies at home, under the able direction of the hostess-in-chief, Miss L. Mackellar, who wore a pink taffeta with ruchings à la Pompiniére, proved so hospitable, that the guests too felt at home immediately a fact well attested to by the accurate knowledge displayed of the various coigns of vantage.

Though card-tables, (our Euchre champion had to leave at half-time on account of a previous engagement) and a bagatelle-board were in readiness, dancing was the main attraction of the evening, which altogether proved one of the brightest of the College year.
