One feature of the evening was a mock wedding, carried out in a very realistic manner. Mildred Lockwood was the bride and Charles Graham was the groom. During the evening each guest was given a piece of paper on which was written Nineteen Sixteen, Leap Yearf' Fifteen minutes were allowed for each per- son to see how many words he could find in the phrase and then the guests were told to make a sentence from the words that had been found.
