On Saturday afternoon, at the Dalby Croquet Club a presentation was made to Mrs. S. M. Taylor, who is leaving Dalby.

The clubhouse and tables were decorated with bowls of bougainvillea and wisteria. At the tea interval, Mrs. A. E. G. Campbell, president, expressed the members' regret at Mrs. Taylor's departure, and wished her every happiness in her new home.
