A GHOST DANCE.

Your shade is expected to attend
A Ghostly Gathering which will haunt
The house of ————— on Octber thirty-firt

R. S. V. P.

Points for Hostess: Inform guests before dance that sheet is to be so draped over head and about body that no one can tell before unmasking whether ghost is man or woman. A good way to drape a sheet is to have one corner cover hair and part of face while the rest is draped and safely pinned about body. Mask can be a square piece of white muslin with eye, nose, and mouth holes cut in. Such a mask can be tied about head, and will completely disguise face. For decorations, see page 15.
