time before the wedding, see that the baggage
of the bridal couple has been checked, and
the checks given to the groom.

BALLS. A ball is an evening function, beginning at
a late hour, devoted wholly to dancing. The
costumes are more elaborate, the supper arrangements
more extensive, and the floral
decorations more lavish than at a dance.

ACCEPTING INVITATION TO DANCE. While a
young woman may accept or decline any invitation
to dance, it is considered an act of discourtesy
to refuse one man for a dance and
to accept an invitation thereafter for the
same dance from another.

ANNOUNCING GUESTS. The hostess decides
whether or not the guests are to be announced.
At public balls it is customary.
