Toowoomba Croquet Club holds a Red Cross bridge party

Flowers in tawny, gold and crimson tints made an attractive show in the pavilion of the Toowoomba Croquet Club yesterday afternoon when the members of the club organised a bridge party in aid of the Toowoomba branch of the Red Cross Society. Tea was served from a buffet, which was centred with slender vases clustered with charm dahlias. The president of the club is Mrs. G. Fogarty, the secretary is Mrs. Nelson Fox, and the treasurer is Mrs. Mervyn Dines. Mrs. Fogarty, who received the guests, wore a smart frock of navy silk, which was trimmed with touches of Paisley-tinted silk. She added a navy straw hat showing the new turned down leaf.
