Not
only
in
the
ball
room
itself,
but
in
the
hall,
supper-room,
and
dressing-rooms,
place
flowers.
A
fine
effect
is
produced,
by
placing
a
screen,
covered
with
green
and
flowers,
before
the
space
set
apart
for
the
musicians.
To
hear
the
music
proceeding
from
behind
this
floral
embankment,
and
yet
have
the
scraping
and
puffing
men
invisible,
adds
very
much
to
the
illusion
of
the
scene.
In
the
dressing-rooms
have,
at
least,
two
servants
for
each.
Let
them
take
the
cloaks
and
hoods,
and
put
a
numbered
ticket
upon
each
bundle,
handing
the
duplicate
number
to
the
lady
or
gentleman
owning
it.
It
is
best
to
have
the
supper-room
upon
the
same
floor
as
the
ball
room.
The
light
dresses,
worn
upon
such
occasions,
suffer
severely
in
passing
up
and
down
a
crowded
staircase.
Have
a
number
of
double
cards
written
or
printed
with
a
list
of
the
dances,
arranged
in
order,
upon
one
side,
and
a
space
for
engagements
upon
the
other.
Attach
a
small
pencil
to
each.
Let
a
waiter
stand
at
the
entrance
to
the
ball
room,
and
hand
a
card
to
each
guest
as
they
pass
in.
The
first
strain
of
music
must
be
a
march;
then
follows
a
quadrille,
then
a
waltz.
Other
dances
follow
in
any
order
you
prefer
until
the
fourteenth,
which
should
be
the
march
which
announces
supper.
If
you
throw
open
the
supper-room,
early,
and
the
guests
go
out
when
they
wish,
the
march
may
be
omitted.
Twenty-one
to
twenty-four
dances
are
sufficient.
Have
an
interval
of
ten
minutes
after
each
one.
