The Earl failed to say that the jolly crowd would consist of the former wives of the men in Fay's party. So the twenty peers were shepherded into taxis and the merry procession headed for Victor's on Grafton Street. Fay, enthused by the success of her plans, did not stop to think that practical joke was being played on her guests.
 But Sir Michael Bruce, . descendant of the Scotch King, Robert Bruce, had in some way learned about Fay's party when the invitations for it were sent out. He has . reputation as prac- tical joker, but claims he was merely in- viting the former wives of Fay's guests to dine with him that night. He says he had no intention of combining the two parties.
 The combining of the two parties Is blamed on the Earl of Kinnoul1. In some way he had learned what was going on it both places. After calling Fay and telling her to meet him at Victor's with her twenty peers, he called Sir Michael Bruce and told Sir Bruce to meet him at Victor's with the twenty former wives of the peers. There's jolly crowd at Victor's," |" he said.
 Fay and her guests arrived first, hila- nous ana happy lney were led lnto the already crowded supper room by Victor himself. Victor was trying to quiet them down when he was told that another party had arrived to join this one, so he hastened out to greet the new corners.
 He was appalled, when he recognized in the superbly gowned and bejewelled women of the second party the former wives of the party he had just finished seating. He begged moments conver. sation with Sir Michael. "As long as you like after supper, Victor, old boy, bu,
New Britain herald., 1928-01-12

Lord Kinnoull is waiting for me now," said Sir Michael airily. leading his guests up the stairs.
 There was . petrified silence when Lord Kinnoull arose to greet the ladies whose ex-husbands he had destined to bs their supper partners. A lifelong train ing in "eood form" alone prevented an unrestrained scene. The noble ladies controlled their emotions and selected their seats near or far from their erJt- while mates, q they felt inclined.
 The strain became 50 acute that the Honorable William Arthur de Ia Poer Horsley- -Beresford, once the husband of Florence Millar, and only just divorced from his second wife, Laura, couldn't stand 1t. He rose to leave. At the same instant his ex-vife sprang up with similar intention. They met 1t the door, bowed, smiled, and the Honorable William po- litely offered his arm. Seeing the humor of the situation, . reconciliation had been made.
 But the situation was becoming increas- ingly tense with those remaining. Through out the room feeling of impending social disaster spread. Here and there the arguments which led to the divorce court were being resumed or ignored by a forced and unnatural gaiety.
 It was the ingenious Victor who at last hit upon plan to separate the ex-spouses. He telephoned frantically to various cab aret artists and asked them to come at once. Then he haHened back to the supper room. Here he found things even more critical than he expected. Several couples had apparently smoothed over their difficulties and were chatting ami ably, but the others had reached the stage of sitting bolt upright, silent and digni- fled, ignoring one another's proximity.
 The cabaret artists arrived. Victor IT.
New Britain herald., 1928-01-12

ranged separate rooms. Miss Fay Marbe| he announced, ''has kindly arranged q special entertainment for her own particular guests. Sir Michael Bruce has also made prepara- tions for . private perform ance to be given for the ladies he has brought here."
 Nobody looked moro sur prised than Fay and Sir Mi chael. Each, however, felt an enormous relief at the thought of ending the melodramatic farce which tho party had be- come. Disentangling their guests, Fay led the men and Sir Michael the women into separate rooms.
 Victor had saved the day. But, before the cabaret artists arrived, he was summoned to the door to greet the Duke and Duchess of York. "I'm sorry" he said to them, even though any club would have been hon ored by their presence, "but all the tables are taken" Victor did not wish to involve the Duke and Duchess in . so- cial scandal.
 The sensational debacle of Fay's stunt is the nine-day wonder of London society.
 That the British can take . joke, even . practical one, is shown by the number of reconciliations made at the party. Three of the divorced couples, falling into the spirit of the occasion, became friendly again. It is rumored that one of these couples will re-wed.
 There's such . thing as be- ing too successful" confided Fay Marbe, discussing the din- ner. "That was what was the matter with my stunt. I wanted to win my wager, but I didn do anything more than that. next party won't make me cry, home in tears from the strain o
