Bridge party for Toowoomba Croquet Club president before Adelaide trip

Fragrant blooms of Iceland poppies and gerberas decked the lounge and dining-room of "Inglenook," the attractive home of Mr. and Mrs. George Fogarty, yesterday afternoon, when Mrs. Fogarty was hostess at a delightful bridge party. The guest of honour was Mrs. Frank Hodgson, the president of the Toowoomba Croquet Club, who will leave for Adelaide early in September to take part in the Centennial croquet tournaments. The tea tables in the dining-room were charmingly arranged with tall vases of deep rose-tinted gerberas, mingled with sprays of Geraldton wax flowers. The invited guests, who comprised the committee of the Toowoomba Croquet Club and friends, were Mesdames A. Dowse, A. Lamb, Krieg, H. Goodrich, J. Esler, D. F. Marshall, G. Cossart, R. J. Hazard, Bridgman, C. F. Robinson and Miss Sybil Wockner.
