20.—THE BASKET, RING AND FLOWER.
The first couple advance. The gentleman gives to his partner a basket containing a flower and a ring. He then presents to her three gentlemen. To one she gives the flower, to another the ring, and to the third the basket. The gentleman who receives the basket must dance alone, holding the basket in his hand; the one who has the ring may choose a lady to dance with him, and the one who has the flower dances with the lady who presented it to him. When they have danced around the room two or three times they all resume seats, and the next couple do same until end of circle.
