Mrs. Miller hosts a bridge afternoon for the club

Platycodous, centaureas, gloria mundi roses, with pink gypsothiea and fine statice arranged in small vases set in pink tulle formed an attractive decorative scheme in the Cafe Alexandra on Thursday afternoon when Mrs. W. Miller entertained the members of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club and friends at a bridge, 500, and competition afternoon. The lounge decorations were bowls of callas lilies, roses, gerberas, and carnations. The hostess wore a navy Flora silk frock with touches of cream, and she added a fawn hat to match. The bridge prize, a silver vase, was won by Miss E. Campbell. The consolation prize, a butter dish, was won by Mrs. J. J. Holmes. At afternoon tea each guest received a piece of Christmas cake made and decorated by Mrs. Miller. Mrs. Miller was thanked for the pleasant afternoon by Mrs. R. McLean, on behalf of the croquet club members, and Mrs. J. J. Holmes (Pittsworth) on behalf of the visitors and friends. Mrs. Miller suitably responded.
