Mrs. Wagner is farewelled with gifts

A pleasing function took place last Wednesday during the afternoon tea recess at the East Toowoomba Croquet Club, when Mrs. Frank Hodgson (president) on behalf of Mrs. Wagner's club members, presented her with a handsome fountain pen and a compendium of rose coloured note paper, both gifts being tied with the club colours. Mrs. Hodgson wished the guest of honour a pleasant voyage and health and happiness on the projected trip to the Old Country, and thanked Mrs. Wagner for her loyalty and her acts of kindness and thoughtfulness to the club. The afternoon tea tables were picturesquely arranged with roses, delphiniums and asters, all of which were presented to the guest of the afternoon. Mrs. Wagner, in thanking the president and the club for the honour done her, said that she would very much like to make a gift of three guineas to the club, two guineas to be expended on trophies for the forthcoming Downs Croquet Tournament, and one guinea towards the expenses of the Pennant matches.
