Toowoomba Croquet Club farewells Mrs. Frank Hooper

The president and members of the Toowoomba Croquet Club entertained Mrs. Frank Hooper at a tea and croquet party at the lawns yesterday afternoon, prior to her departure on a trip abroad. The lawns were looking beautifully green, and the tea was served in the pavilion at tables arranged with bowls of asters. Mrs. Hooper was presented on her arrival with a bouquet of pink and mauve asters, tied with the club colours. The president (Mrs. Ernest Rowe) made the presentation, and after tea also presented to Miss Hooper, on behalf of the members, a handsome travelling rug. Those present, in addition to the guest of honour, included the Mayoress (Mrs. J. D. Annand), Mesdames E. Perkins, O. Booth, Cordett, Kingsford, Isaac, Keys, Carell, H. G. Buchanan, A. D.
