Mr. Ryder was going to give a ball. There were several reasons why this was an opportune time for such an event. Mr. Ryder might aptly be called the dean of the Blue Veins.

Its purpose was to establish and maintain correct social standards among a people whose social condition presented almost unlimited room for improvement.
