Members of the Dalby Croquet Club held their Christmas festivities in the club house on Saturday afternoon. The president (Mrs. A. E. G. Campbell) welcomed the guests. The club house was decorated with Christmas bells and flowers. The tea tables were arranged with crystal bowls of delphiniums and statice, pride of place being given to a Christmas cake made by Mrs. Coutts and iced by Mrs. Orford. A gift of pottery was made by Mrs. T. Jack (past president) to Mrs. Campbell in appreciation of her work as president. A presentation was also made to Mrs. Shill, the lawn directress. Competitions were won by Mesdames Ashmore, Geisel, Savage, Cramer, S. M. Taylor and Bryant. A hidden number competition was won by Mrs. Savage.
