Members of the Dalby Croquet Club held their Christmas party at 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 fancy decorations, with wall vases of red roses and bougainvilla.

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. The cake was cut by the first president of the club, Mrs. W. J. Vowles.

A gift of pottery was made by Mrs. T. Jack (patroness) 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, Cremer, S. M. Taylor and Bryant. A hidden number competition was won by Mrs. Savage.
