A historical costumer for forty years, Rebecca Morrison-Peck will demonstrate
how to construct and decorate a fully lined drawstring bag to keep those indispensable
items close at hand while whirling around the dance floor at the Regency Ball. A
reticule is the perfect place to hide away those love notes that mama might object to,
as well as a small bottle of scent, a perfumed handkerchief, the all-important dance
card and other necessary items. Complete reticule kits will be provided for each
member of the class. Choose one to contrast with or to match your gown. Basic
hand-sewing is all that's required. Please bring a small pair of scissors if you can.

| Emma at Eventide |
 |
Graduate students from Simon Fraser University will guide these discussions. The theme for
Thursday evening is "Bring your favourite quote from Emma." Be assured you won't be
restricted to "one thing very clever…or two things moderately clever." On Saturday you can
really let your imagination fly as you discuss "What will the future hold for the five recently
married couples?" |

| Cards and Games Room |
 |
Whether you participate, or just sit back and watch, this might be a pleasant,
relaxing way to end your day. Find a partner for backgammon or chess, or make
up a foursome for cards.

| Afternoon
Tea |
 |
Decisions, decisions! For an "Afternoon Tea Experience" you can spend a leisurely hour or
so catching up with news and gossip, while sipping tea and nibbling on mini sandwiches and
cake in the lobby area of the Fairmont Hotel. For the more adventurous, take the number 16 Arbutus bus to Kerrisdale, a suburb of Vancouver, where
"The Secret Garden Tea
Company" awaits you. This cozy establishment is a favourite for those who like scones, served with cream and strawberry jam, accompanied by a good cuppa! (Loose tea of course!)
