Croquet Club card afternoon at St. James' Parish Hall

St. James's Parish Hall looked very bright and attractive yesterday on the occasion of a card afternoon arranged by the members of the Toowoomba Croquet Club in aid of their funds. The pretty rose decorations of the previous evening still remained, and the dais which in addition to the main hall was used for card tables, massed with bowls of daffodils, golden wattle and Iceland poppies. A delicious home-made tea was served under the direction of Mrs. A. Gaydon, who had the assistance of Mesdames J. B. Kingsford, C. G. Blair, F. Hodgson, C. Fortescue, O. Booth and Miss Booth. Mrs. Fortescue supervised the arrangement of the card tables. There was a very large attendance of bridge players, and others played 500. Those present included Mesdames E. J. Rowe, A. R. Godsall, Glen Hickey, J. Lucy, W. H. Gobbett, B. L. Pumfrey, R. R. Rivett, F. Isaacs, B. Essex Evans, J. A. Grigg, A. Lacaze, B. Nicholls, J. Lee, F. Pigott, E. W. Cleary, A. E. G. Campbell, T. P.
