Society Snippets: 1920s Holiday Gossip
- A Scandal in Scarlet: At Lady Goring's dinner party, someone stole her priceless ruby and diamond necklace. Was it an inside job?
- The Case of the Vanishing Rolls Royce: Rumour has it that Lord Pole's brand new silver Rolls Royce was stolen from outside his Hampstead townhouse on the morning of the Summer Fair at the Heath.

Host Your Own Holiday Mystery Party
Bring a touch of intrigue to your holiday gathering with these tips:
- Setting the Scene: Adorn your space with flickering candles, frosted windows, and garlands of holly.
- Props of Suspense: Scatter small clues like handwritten notes, a pair of gloves, or a broken ornament for guests to discover.
- Festive Fare: Serve cocktails like the 1920s classic “Gin Fizz” alongside traditional mince pies.
- Serve a mystery: Weave a mystery into the festive meal by arranging a mock crime, like a fake murder at the table, and allow your guests to find clues in their Christmas crackers.
