centre piece of a formation of an old world lady, radiating streamers in autumn tonings, the club's colours, to each guest's place, and vases of flowers in the same shades, decorated the afternoon tea table at the Laurel Bank Croquet Club's pavilion on Saturday afternoon. The occasion was the "breaking-up" party of the club for the Christmas holidays. Mrs. Fett was responsible for the decorations. Each member received a gift.
