Mrs Hooper entertains committee at tea and croquet

Mrs. Frank Hooper (president of the Toowoomba Croquet Club) entertained the members of the committee at tea and croquet at the club lawns yesterday afternoon. There were competitions in polo croquet, for which Mrs. E. Rowe won the prize, and tea was served in the pavilion at a table arranged with a centre bowl of Iceland poppies, and for each guest there was a little souvenir raffia brooch in the club colours, a gift from the hostess. The Mayoress (Mrs. J. Douglas Annand) was present, and Mrs. Wilson (Ballarat), and the committee members included Mesdames Oswald Booth, E. Perkins, Ernest Rowe, Isaacs, Petford and Oakeley.
