President's tea for members in the pavilion

On Monday afternoon a most enjoyable time was spent by all the members of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club on the occasion of a tea given by the president, Mrs. A. T. Parrot. The tea was held in the bowling club pavilion, which was gay with flags and flowers. The tables were arranged in the form of a T and were decorated with crystal vases and bowls of beautiful roses ranging from palest pink to deep red, while the rest of the pavilion was beautified with brass bowls of multi-coloured roses. In an appropriate little speech, Mrs. Walsh (vice-president), thanked Mrs. Parrot on behalf of the members, and was supported by Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Hale. Mrs. Parrot responded in a few well chosen words and the happy party broke up with the singing of "She's a Jolly Good Fellow."
