QUAINT "ALICE" PARTY
An Alice in Wonderland party was given recently in London. And, as ono would have expected, the guests were dressed up. Many of them had grey hair; some even walked with sticks as well as legs. One, the chairman, was dressed as a Very Reverend Dean. Next to the chairman sat Gerald du Maurier. There were also people looking like doctors and lawyers and soldiers. There was Peter Pan, but he had not brought his pipes and did not wear his short tunic. Alice was there. Just for the day she had left behind her cotton frock with tho little frilled sleeves and her pinafore, and was dressed as an elderly lady called Mrs. Hargreaves. She walked slowly, and her voice was as tiny as a dormouse's, was the quaint description of the party by a London weekly. *
