A bridge afternoon organised by the committee of the Dalby Ladies' Croquet Club, in aid of club funds, was held at the home of Mrs. Thomas Jack. The dining-room, in which six tables of bridge were played, was ornamented with tall vases of Iceland poppies and stocks. Sweet peas were chosen as the floral decoration in the sun room, where afternoon tea was served. Mrs. H. E. Thorley won the bridge. The prize for the hidden number was won by Mrs. S. Thorn. A consolation prize was won by Mrs. A. Graham.
