West Toowoomba farewells Miss May Crowther

Members of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club gathered in the club house at the tea adjournment on Saturday afternoon to present a handbag to Miss May Crowther, who will go to Brisbane this month to live. The tables were beautified with clusters of pink shaded carnations, mingled with sprays of gypsophila. The presentation was made on behalf of the members by the acting president, Mrs. W. Miller.

Crystal bowls of pink carnations and fine statice adorned the afternoon tea table in West Toowoomba Croquet Club's pavilion on Saturday, when the West Toowoomba croquet ladies met to say goodbye to Miss May Crowther, who will leave on Saturday next to live in Brisbane. In the unavoidable absence of the president (Mrs. Krimmer), the vice-president (Mrs. W. Miller), occupied the chair. She presented Miss Crowther with a handbag with best wishes from her fellow-members. Mrs. Miller also presented the guest with a bouquet of carnations. Miss Crowther responded.
