Members' social afternoon before the lawns are top-dressed

The members of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club held a social afternoon at the lawns in Rome-street, on Monday, prior to going into recess for several weeks, while the lawns are being top-dressed. There was a large attendance of members. The tea tables in the bowling club pavilion were beautified with silver vases of orchids and fuchsias. During the tea interval Mrs. T. L. Fryar (vice-president), on behalf of the beginners, presented the captain (Mrs. W. A. Bain) with a cut glass vase, as a mark of appreciation of her work of teaching them croquet, and her unfailing interest in their progress. Mrs. Bain suitably responded. A competition was won by Mrs. A. T. Parrot.
