lowers in autumn colourings were effectively arranged about the pavilion of the Toowoomba Croquet Club yesterday afternoon, when the president and members held their monthly bridge party in aid of funds for the Toowoomba branch of the Red Cross Society. A home-made tea was served from a buffet decked with crystal bowls of tawny shaded chrysanthemums and dahlias. Mesdames W. Cooke, president, A. E. King, secretary, and G. B. Mackay, treasurer, assisted by the committee, were responsible for arranging the function.
