Etiquette and Dance Programs



Mrs. Chester Adams requests her friends to bring to her their Social Problems and Perplexities by letter at any time


Dear Mrs Adams,

Will you kindly tell me if it is proper for a hostess to provide programs when giving a large dance? What kind should they be, and when should they be given out? —A Reader


Dance programs are still very much in vogue for large entertainments, and either a card with gilt edges or a small sheet of bristol board, folded once, is provided, and also a small pencil, attached to the card or sheet by a silk cord or ribbon. They either are placed in the dressing rooms, convenient to the guests to help themselves, or they are offered by a servant from a silver tray as the guests enter the ballroom. — Los Angeles Herald, 1911
