The cotillion was rather simple and a
number of flower figures We're intro

the poinsetta waltz There was also a
rose waltz, and garlands of ground pine
were used in another figure. In the bowl
ing figure, which was something new, the

women, standing in a pyramid form, and
the one whom the ball touched was the
players partner. In another figure the
men drew lots for their partners, and in
still another small hoops wound with
bright ribbons were used. Gilded staffs
