TOOWOOMBA, February 14.

Bowls of tiger lilies, dahlias, zinnias and asters in shades of pink and mauve set about the stems of the broad dais and upon tall pedestals made a picturesque setting in the ballroom at the Returned Soldiers' Memorial Hall this afternoon when the president (Mrs. Malcolm Sinclair) and members of the Laurel Bank Croquet Club held their first monthly bridge party to augment the building funds of the club-house.

There were more than 30 tables of players present and several guests came to tea. A buffet afternoon tea was served.

Mrs. Sinclair chose a smart frock of old gold American crepe patterned with a black pencil stripe and fastening down the front with black buttons. She added a wide-leafed black hat and black accessories.
