Space in today's Bulletin does not permit of going into details of what is in store for the ladies at this afternoon affair. and anyhow we have no Society Editor" at present and owing to the bashful- ness of the editor and publisher we are inclined to entertain sug- gestion for the appointment of one of the fair sex to attend and write the afternoon affair up from first hand information.
 However. the committee has pro- missed to give full details in Thurs days Bulletin so that the public will know what to expect when they turn out enmasse at Eagle Hall. Friday night.
