A line of debutantes exiting the dancefloor during their cotillion at the Lord Baltimore Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland. The young ladies dressed in white ballgowns file away from the dancefloor with one arm extended upward and the other linked with the arm of their escorts, dressed in tailcoats. Guests fill the ballroom, applauding as the debutantes pass by.
