Coin afternoon at the club lawns is largely attended

The coin afternoon organised by the committee and members of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club, and held in the club lawns yesterday afternoon, was very largely attended, and proved an enjoyable function. The lawns adjoining the bowling green were looking extremely pretty with their surroundings. Rose trellis in bloom and lines of gay little flags added to the bright effect. The committee included Mesdames Carmody (president), Fryar, and M'Lean (vice-presidents), Compagnoni (hon. secretary), Bridgeman (hon. treasurer), Blake, Hole, Krimmer, Norris, and Walsh. During the afternoon there were a number of croquet competitions, and tea was served in the picturesque pavilion at tables arranged with silver bowls of Iceland poppies. After tea Mrs. Carmody, who was presented with a bouquet of beautiful roses, tied with the club colours, presented the prizes won during the year, which were awarded as follows: Champion, Mrs. Bridgeman; singles handicap, Mrs. Compagnoni; doubles, Mesdames Bridgman and Baker. Mrs. Carmody wore a frock of floral chiffon voile in shades of mauve, with a mauve georgette scarf, and a smart hat of mauve stitched silk. In the large gathering were noticed Mesdames E. A. Baker, [?Dunngan], Johnson, Marshall, M'Lean, Norris, O'Brien, Parrott, Burne, A. R. Godsall, F. Hooper, O. Booth, Wilson, J. M. Harris, R. Renwick, H. Hatton, French (Sydney), F.

Pigott, Booth, M'Kinstray, Fryar, Bromhall (Brisbane), M'Stay, Redford, and Gilbert.
