Party for two travellers on the croquet green

In honour of Mrs. Gerard Boyce and Mrs. F. W. Isaacs, the president and members of the Toowoomba Croquet Club gave a pleasant party at the croquet green on Thursday afternoon. During the afternoon there were several interesting polo croquet competitions, which were won by Mrs. Mervyn Dines and Mrs. J. A. Grigg. They presented the prizes to the guests of honour. Tea was served in the pavilion, which was attractively decorated for the occasion with quantities of dark blue delphiniums and pale blue hydrangea and salvia (representing the club’s colours). In the party, in addition to the guests of honour were, Mesdames Oswald Booth (president), Mervyn Dines (honorary secretary), F. Bridgman, F. Hodgson, H. Goodrich, J. McKinney, M. Corbett, J. A. Grigg, J. Lee, C. Fortescue, G. Cossart, C. G. Blair, R. J. Hazard, J. B. Kingsford, A. V. Grahame, G. Fogarty, and Miss B. Booth.
