Surprise tea for departing captain Mrs. Johnson

The members of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club gave a surprise tea on Saturday afternoon to their captain, Mrs. Johnson, who is leaving Toowoomba shortly. Mrs. Parrot, president, on behalf of the members, made a small presentation as a mark of appreciation of her services, and expressed regret at Mrs. Johnson's departure. Mrs. Johnson feelingly responded, stating that she was very sorry to leave all her friends, as she had spent many happy times on the croquet lawn. All members joined in singing "She's a Jolly Good Fellow."
