Social Precedence in the Dancing
Assemblies of Ohl New York.
The meetings began in November
and continued through the winter
patronized of course only by rhe
elite of society. The ball was opened
at 8 o’clock and closed by midnight.
In 1759 Messrs. Duane Walton Mc-
Evers and Banyar all gentlemen of
the highest fashion were the mana-
gers. The divisions iu society were
carried into the ball room and the la-
dies stood upon the rights of prece-
dence and dignity which would never
be for a moment tolerated by the F.
C. D. C. the Patriarchs or the Matri-
archs in their reunions at Delmon-
ico’s. Tradition retains a curious in-
cident which shows the prevalence
of such assumptions at a date far la-
ter than that when Sir Charles or
Washington led the dance. The
story is of a young lady of one of the
manorial families who took her place
at the head of the dancing hall iu
the pos* of honor and held it to the
close of the evening. To the mana-
gers who protested against her as-
sumptions she “declined her name
ana qualities” and added “Here T
take my stand.” The lady was a Miss
Morris of the Morrisania family who
to beauty and a graceful presence
united a delightful lisp which gave
emphasis to the phrase.—From “Old
New York Taverns” by John Austin
Stevens in Harper’s Magazine for
May.
