Second card and Mah Jongg evening for the club

The second of the series of monthly card and mah jongg evenings, which are being held in connection with the Toowoomba Croquet Club, took place at the residence of the captain (Mrs. George Hooper, Neil-street), last evening. In spite of the wet weather there was a large attendance of members and friends. Bridge was played in the dining-room, which was beautified with bowls of lilies and rambler roses. Mah jongg tables were placed in the drawing-room, which was artistically arranged with vases of russet gerberas, roses, apricots, and amaryllis, to harmonise with the deep tones of the walls. Card tables were also in the lounge, which was beautified with a profusion of roses. Mrs. Hooper received her guests in a gown of chrome [?and] black paisley repp, piped with black, and finished with a central panel of black-edged fringe. Miss Clarice Hooper wore a frock of saxe net, over lemon silk.
