Petticoat Lane chapter in Lafayette held their second annual Etiquette Tea this summer, and this time it was the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. Last year's tea was so popular that they have moved from a member's home to a hall at the Lafayette Zoo, which was donated for the event.

 Regent Claire played the part of Alice and Vice Regent Maggie was the Mad Hatter.

Hats, beads and boas were on hand so that the girls could play dress-up.

Alice did the teaching of the finer points of taking tea, and having good manners.  The mad Hatter's role was to do everything wrong, and the girls excitedly called out all his indiscretions.

I just had to include this picture - a future vamp?
