Order of Dances
Once upon a time dance cards were considered proper for ladies to carry at dances. The men who wished to dance with the lady would write their names on the dance card and would then be assured of that dance.The following is my Great-Grandmother, Lurline Hewit Harper's dance card from a dance she attended.
