...Dancer Adele Astaire thought she was the opposite of an angel. Lady Ribblesdale went as Charlie Chaplin, Banker Mortimer Schiff as Oscar Wilde. Two socialite matrons chose to dress as "Ladies of the Temperance Union." Composer Cole Porter went as an oldtime footballer, his wife as a housemaid. Princess Hohenlohe-Schillingsfurst wore the robes...

Her falsehood also reveals that the young college hockey player whom she thought she loved is not so ardent...
