This Author excitedly awaits to see what costume will the ton choose for the Cavender masquerade. It is rumored that Eloise Cavender will dress herself as Joan of Arc, and Elizabeth Sudbury, out for her third season and just returned from her visit with Irish cousins, will don the costume of a leprechaun. Miss Genevieve Remington, stepdaughter to the late Earl of Penwood, plans of sporting a mermaid costume, which This Author cannot wait to discover, but her elder sister, Miss Rosamund Remington, has been keeping her lips tight about her own attire.

As for the men, if previous masquerade balls are any indication, the portly will dress as Henry VIII, the more fit as Alexander the Great or maybe the devil, and the bored (the eligible Cavender brothers are sure to be among these ranks) as themselves--basic black evening kit, with only a demi-mask as a nod to the occasion.

The Cavenders are indeed a unique family. Surely there cannot be anyone in London who does not know that they all look remarkably alike, or they are famously named in alphabetical order Arthur, Brandon, Cedric, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, and Garrison

It is a mystery what the late viscount and (still very-much alive) dowager viscountess would have named their next child which would be number eight. Harper? Haydn?

Oh well, it would be better if they stop at seven.

This year's most sought-after invitation must surely be that of the Cavender masquerade ball, to be held Monday next. Indeed, one cannot take two steps without being forced to listen to some society mama speculating on who will attend, and perhaps more importantly, who will wear what.

Neither of the aforementioned topics, however, are nearly as interesting as that of the two unmarried Cavender brothers, Brandon and Cedric. (Before anyone points out that there is a number three of the unmarried Cavender brothers, This Author guarantees you that she is fully keeping up of the existence of Garrison Cavender. He is, however, thirteen years of age, and is not significant in this column, which concerns, as This Author's Columns often do, the most consecrated of sports: husband-hunting.)

While the Misters Cavender are just--merely Misters--they're still considered two of the targets of the season. It is a known info that these two each possesses respectable fortunes, and it is not needed for a pair of perfect eyes to know that they also possess, as do all 7 Cavender offspring, the good looks.

Will some lucky young lady use the mystery of a masquerade night to entrap one of the eligible bachelors?

This Author isn't even going to wonder.

My Plan of Coming Up With a Summer Baking Workshop

Sometimes scheming up ideas of opening a restaurant, a simple cafe, a mini grocery, a bakery or even a culinary school starts with a dream that has been raised by passion. My name is Meryl Louise C. Tan, 18 years old, and I am a student taking up HRM (Hotel and Restaurant Management). I have been basing on my experiences with the kitchen. Personal baking tutorials with my cousin. That was years ago. But this time, I'm thinking big. I really want to hold a summer baking workshop. In order for me to do that, I have to at least learn communication skills in teaching, willing to spend a big amount of investment for the place, gas, ingredients and to compensate on their payment for their session fees. Oh well, guess I have to wait for the right time. I still need to study further and to gain more experiences, knowledge and income. Peace and Love.
