October bridge party at the president's home

Seasonable flowers, intermingled with sprigs of greenery and sprays of berries and set in gleaming bronze jars, decorated the lounge and dining room of the home of Mrs. J. Flegler in Rome Street this week. The occasion was the October bridge party organised by the members of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club, of which Mrs. Flegler is the president. The supper buffet was topped with ecru lace mats and decorated with tiny float bowls holding roses and sweet peas. The guests were received by Mrs. Flegler, who wore a simply cut frock of monotone printed tie-silk.

The players included Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Searle, Mr. and Mrs. F. Kolberg, Mr. and Mrs. Baxter, Mr. and Mrs. F. Kath, Mr. and Mrs. H. Rixon, Mesdames Alroe, King, Albertson, Stone, Fisher, M. Gordon, Shumbles, Leadbetter, Stuart Taplin, E. Leschinski, Taylor, Guest, Ireland, Alford, E. Carseldine, F. Chapman, N. McKee, Apelt, Elvery, A. McBride, O'Callaghan, Ferguson, I.
