Here is suggestion which is de-

invitations to ten guests asking them
to dinner; she also asked them to
come with their heads dressed to rep
resent some period or person. It was
very interesting when all were seated
at the table to see what a change had
been wrought by the unusual head
gear. The host wore peruke and d
black bow on his white wig: Ne was,
