Monthly bridge party at Toowoomba Croquet Club for the Red Cross

The monthly bridge party organised by the president and members of the Toowoomba Croquet Club in aid of funds for the Toowoomba branch of the Red Cross Society was held at the pavilion on Tuesday afternoon. Pink and tawny shaded dahlias were arranged attractively in large bowls against the panelled walls, while charm dahlias in the same colouring were used to beautify the tea table. Mesdames W. U. P. Cooke (president), A. E. King (secretary), G. B. Mackay (treasurer), and N. Fox (captain), assisted by the committee, were responsible for the arrangements.
