The lounge at Colstoun was beautified with masses of delphiniums, lupins and pink shaded sweetpeas when Mrs. Malcolm Sinclair (president of the Laurel Bank Croquet Club) was hostess at a morning tea to-day to entertain the president of the Queensland Croquet Association (Mrs. W. H. Austin) the visiting presidents of the metropolitan croquet clubs and members of the Laurel Bank Club. The hostess wore a straight cut tailored frock of cornflower blue ripple crepe which displayed a row of navy buttons as contrast.
