| Last Wednesday night in the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, 27 young women from the United States and abroad were presented to society at the 56th Annual International Debutante Ball. |
 |
| Maria Catalina Arrien, Horacio Milberg, Dimity Milberg, Annabelle Mariaca, and Alberto Mariaca |
| Each debutante is presented to the ball accompanied by two escorts -- a young man in white tie and tails and an assigned member from either the Navy, the Coast Guard, the Air Force or West Point Military Academy, who carries the flag of the country or state the deb represents. |
