Fong Sisters At Pentland Ball 1910 : Mary, Florrie & Annie
The Northern Miner (Charters Towers, Qld. : 1874 - 1954), Fri 3 Jun 1910, Page 3 Ball at Pentland. A Pentland correspondent writes:- On Saturday, 21st, a very pleasant evening was spent at Pentland, the occasion being a Plain and Fancy Dress Ball. A large crowd of both young and old turned out as usual. The schoolroom was nicely decorated by Mr. Hughes and Mr. Gale, and with the gay and pretty dresses of the little ones presented quite an animated scene. Mr. W. Hedges, with his usual good nature acted as M.C., and his position was ?? ???ecure. Dancing commenced early, and the floor was held by the little ones for two hours. Afterwards the elder ones had a turn. At ten o'clock, Mr. Hughes made a short speech and explained the object of the entertainment was to help to raise funds for the building of a teacher's residence to which the School Committee has to contribute the sum of £66. An adjournment was then made to the grounds where refreshments, tea, and coffee, were handed round. Dancing then re-commenced and carried on while whispers went round as to who was game to stop the clock, but midnight came, and after oranges kindly supplied by the gardeners had been distributed all went home well pleased with their evening's entertainment. The following is a list of some of the most noticeable dresses worn:--Miss Eva Edgar, Carnival: Mary Fong, Sailor Boy; Nellie Rebgetz, Cook; Amy Edgar, Gipsy Fortune Teller; Ethel Fox, Night; Lily Peagem, Queen or Hearts; Katie Canty, Flower Girl; Mabel Young, French Doll; Maud Peagem, Blue Bell; Johanna Tunney, Queen of Diamonds; Frances Peagem, Queen of Roses; Katie Tunney, Sunflower; Florrie Fong, Queen of Hearts; Annie Fong, Daisies and Buttercups; Master Willie James, Santa Claus; Mrs. James, Orange Girl; Miss McDonald, Fashions For All; Miss Hedges, Winter; Miss E.
