A Small Dance

The image shows a page from an old book about debutante customs. A simple sketch of a small feminine figure in a dress dancing with a much taller masculine figure is overlaid on the text, drawn in white lines. Small star-like shapes are scattered across the page. Some phrases are highlighted or circled, while most of the text remains visible but muted against the dark, textured background.
