TOOWOOMBA, February 3.

Brass bowls filled marigolds and tawny-bronze shaded zinnias made a gay splash of colour against the panelled dais of the stage at the C.W.A. Hall in Margaret Street this afternoon, when the president (Mrs. Malcolm Sinclair) and members of the Laurel Bank Croquet Club arranged a bridge party to augment the building funds. There were about twenty tables of players and a dainty afternoon tea was served. Mrs. Malcolm Sinclair featured a straight cut gown of ebon crepe romaine which displayed long fitting sleeves and a high cowled neckline. A large pearl ornament was pinned into the folds of the cowl. A large black ballibuntle straw hat and black accessories completed the ensemble.
