Club's ninth birthday party

Canopied with flags and hanging baskets of blooms, the West Toowoomba Bowling Club House presented a very charming and gay scene yesterday afternoon, on the occasion of the ninth birthday party of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club. The tea tables were literally decked with lovely flowers—blue delphiniums, pink roses, marigolds, Erica and greenery. The party was organised by the following committee: Mesdames R. Walsh (president), R. McLean), T. A. Parrot (vice-presidents), J. Krimmer (secretary), A. E. O'Connell (treasurer), W. Miller (captain), A. E. Baker (vice-captain), A. Wilson, F. Bullock, G. Wagner and Miss R. Fryar, who were assisted by members of the club. The birthday cake was presented by Mrs. Walsh, who was unable to be present. In addition to the Mayoress, Mrs. J. D. Annand, those present were: Mesdames C. Searle, McConachie, Padget, Clarke, Mitchell, R. Gibson, C. Black, Childs, G. Priest, C. F. Snow (Brisbane), J. Smallhorn, B. Krimmer (Brisbane), N. Fox, F.
