TOOWOOMBA, August 8.

BOWLS of Iceland poppies and Geraldton wax plant made a charming display in the new pavilion of the Laurel Bank croquet club this afternoon when the president and members arranged one of their monthly bridge parties in aid of the building funds. The president (Mrs. Malcolm Sinclair), who received the guests, wore Canadian fox furs and a small black hat encircled with feather trimming, with her smart three-quarter length coat and skirt of fine black and white checked tweeds.
