“Wanted” Guest

Sir Percy Laurie, Assistant

Police Commissioner, met

Charles Peace—in effigy—at

Lunch yesterday.

 

 

“Of course, one meets all sorts of people socially nowadays,” said Lady Townshend.

 

She was chairman of yesterday’s Literary Luncheon. On her right, in lifelike effigy, sat murderer Charles Peace.

 

On her left sat crossword-setter E. Powys Mathers, who, as “Torquemada,” has caused more people more pain than ever Peace did.

 

On the other side of Peace sat magician Aleister Crowley.
