Laurel Bank Croquet Club holds its Christmas party

The members of the Laurel Bank Croquet Club held their annual Christmas party at the club house on Saturday afternoon. Dahlias and gladioli, with clusters of flowering shrubs, provided colourful decorations in the club house, where tea was served at long tables adorned with gay geraniums, delphiniums and carnations on trails of green fern. A feature of the main table was a Christmas cake. It was beautifully iced and decorated and was made and presented by Mrs. P. S. Priest, president of the club. Mrs. S. Dennis, captain, on behalf of the members, made presentations to Mrs. Priest and Mrs. S. Hopkins (secretary).
