exactly the costume they were found in when miss collard waited on them at their homes to extend the invitation as she did not get around on this mission until the evening was well advanced some guests were aroused from their slum bers to receive the invitationas a consequence we are told that it was a picture no artist could paint up at the collard home when all had assembled at the party and so far as we know there was not one guest who passed up the challenge some aie said to have been caught do ing some late washing others were under curling tongs some in night attire and others in evening gowns anyway it was no court scene we are told but one that would have made the heart of a photographer long for a picture there was no titivat ing allowed and with this bit of information
