Laurel Bank Croquet Club holds a victory party

Gold and rust tinted poppies and clusters of greenery decked the pavilion of the Laurel Bank Croquet Club House when the president of the Laurel Bank Croquet Club (Mrs. P. S. Priest) entertained the members at a victory party during the week-end. The afternoon tea tables were spaced with posy jars of sweet peas. Pride of place was given to a victory cake, which was decorated with miniature flags. Competitions and games were arranged for the entertainment of the guests. The hostess wore a straight-cut frock of white silk linen, which was finished with a shoulder spray of pansies.
