Monthly bridge party at Toowoomba Croquet Club for the Red Cross

Golden broom and blue larkspurs, arranged in large brass jars, provided a bright splash of colour in the pavilion of the Toowoomba Bowling Club yesterday afternoon when the members of the Toowoomba Croquet Club held their monthly bridge party in aid of the Red Cross Society. Tea was served from a buffet, which was beautified with float bowls of flowers in gold and blue tonings. The committee responsible for the arrangements included Mrs. W. Cooke (president), Mrs. A. E. King (honorary secretary), Mrs. G. B. Mackay (honorary treasurer), Mesdames G. Wagner and G. Cossart (vice-presidents), and Mrs. Nelson Fox (captain).
