A cosmetic'demonstration was given by Karen Taylor Who owns a cosnietic salon bearing her narne. She was very, knowledgeable' and gave everyone valuable ,tips on the make-up of today. A lady was chosen by chance of the draw from the audience and ah waÎtcheci as she was transformed before our eyes.< There were niany paintings on display by locaL'ar- tists and a lucky draw was made for one of these original- works. Each table was bedecked with a lovely, plant'provided by Ken Brown, Brooklin, and there was a w'inner at each table who was allowed to take their centiepiecehome..« To> continue- the show's "Nautical and Nice" thernie, ushers and usherettes, who handed out pro- grams and seated guests were dressed in sailor suits.
