Mrs. Miller holds a Christmas party for the club

The flower-decked lounge of the Cafe Alexandra was the setting chosen by Mrs. W. Miller for a delightful Christmas party given by her yesterday afternoon to entertain the members of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club and friends. Great bowls of hydrangeas mingled with smooth green leaves were set about the room and provided a charming colour scheme against the creamy walls. The table decorations were carried out in pink and blue tones, with masses of fragrant white perennial pea, blue delphiniums, and carnations arranged with sprays of lavender statice. The main feature of the tea table was a Christmas cake, which was made and iced by Mrs. Miller. Each dainty place card had a sprig of holly attached to the top corner. The guests included Mesdames Bridgman, Swanson, J. J. Holmes, A. T. Parrot, D. F. Marshall, W. Elvery, Stewart, Searle, A. Baker, O'Connell, Barron, Harris, Atwell, G. Horn, Kuhneman, T. Holmes, McLean, Bullock, Padget, Healy, Wilson, G. Wagner, A. Charles, Crozier, A. McConachie, Krimmer, R. Gibson, Pugh, Flegler, Lavers, Cooper, McFarlane (Pittsworth), Misses E. Campbell, Connolly, O. Campbell, R. Fryar, Wagner, M. Crowther, Carter, L. Parrot, and Betty Charles.
