Bridge party at the croquet pavilion for visiting players

To entertain the visiting croquet players, members of the Darling Downs croquet tournament committee arranged a bridge party in the Toowoomba Croquet Club pavilion yesterday afternoon. Flowers in many colours made an effective colour splash against the cream-tinted walls and the tea buffet was centred with low bowls of dahlias, mingled with greenery. Mrs. Gerard Boyce is the president of the committee and Mrs. E. A. McConachie is the secretary. The visitors present included Mesdames A. M. Austin, C. H. T. Burton, W. Carter, J. M. Fisher, J. Gibson, J. B. Hutchinson, P. Margetts, D. H. Milne, J. McCracken, W. Salter, W. H. Vizer, J. McConachie, H. W. Groom, S. A. Sowden and Miss E. M. Stewart.
