A debutante ball at the Lord Baltimore Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland. The debutantes, dressed in white ballgowns, and their escorts, dressed in tailcoats, stand in pairs along the sides of the dance floor. The ladies perform a deep curtsy as their escorts take their hand. A large crowd of guests sit at tables around the dance floor watching the performance. A large chandelier hangs overhead.
