Christmas afternoon tea at the croquet club house

Low bowls of blue hydrangea heads, veiled with golden tulle and slender ropes of sparkling tinsel adorned the table in the Toowoomba Croquet Club house when Mrs. Arthur Lamb entertained the club day players at afternoon tea. A Christmas cake, attractively decorated, was a feature of the table, at which each guest's place was marked with a spray of holly and a blue and gold bonbon. Those present included Mesdames Gerard Boyce, J. Lee, W. J. Broadfoot, Malcolm Brodie, Davis, J. Wensley, Olive, W. Evans, E. K. Bedwell, G. Wagner, A. Myers, N. Fox and Mackay, Misses Jean Lamb and Jean Davis.
