Croquet tea given by the president

The president (Mrs. Ernest Rowe) entertained the members of the Toowoomba Croquet Club at a charmingly arranged croquet tea at the lawns yesterday afternoon. Polo croquet was played during the afternoon, and tea was served in the pavilion at a table arranged with a big bowl of mauve and pink stocks and lupins. After tea the captain (Mrs. E. Perkins) thanked Mrs. Rowe for the delightful party, and Mrs. Rowe responded. Mrs. Rowe was presented with a charming little armlet of hyacinths, set with bows of ribbon in the club colours. The guests included: Mesdames E. Perkins, O. Booth, J. M'Kinney, Bridgman, W. P. Oakeley, Marshall, Isaacs, Warner, A. Gaydon, Corbett, A. R. Godsall, Grigg, A. V. Grahame, Blair, J. B. Kingsford, Cooke, Hawkins, and F. Hodgson.
