 * Comment. It looks to me like the sources are out there. Debutante ball culture is an important thing in St. Louis. This is the less important/famous of the two major balls, but the other one has been the subject of several entire books and extended media coverage. As for this one: Here's a UPI story from 1981, a local magazine story, a Current Affairs article, another source. Maybe someone can look at the back issues of the St. Louis Post Dispatch? The ball gets mentioned in the "Debutante" article of this encyclopedia , which also cites a couple of books that might have more info? There are several mentions in the NY Times in old marriage announcements, which suggests to me that it's useful to have an article for people who want to look up what these things are.--Jahaza (talk) 01:40, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. I went ahead and added the UP ref and one other. I don't know enough about the subject to do much more, but I agree there's likely enough somewhere. 49ersBelongInSanFrancisco (talk) 05:57, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
