Committee farewell evening for Mrs. Petford

As a farewell to Mrs. J. J. Petford before her departure for Brisbane next week, Mr. and Mrs. Oswald Booth entertained the committee of the Toowoomba Croquet Club and their husbands at their home in Herries-street on Friday evening. The lounge was arranged with Iceland poppies, and the same flowers combined with violets were used in the dining-room, while the supper table was beautified with blue perennial pea and dark blue violets (the club colours). The evening was spent in music and cards, and the winners of the card trophy presented the prize (a sandwich tray) to Mrs. Petford.
