Miniature dance program for the Reading Chapter, Order of DeMolay; attached is a small pencil on a cord for the lady to mark which men she had reserved dances with.


The emblem for DeMolay is embossed in gold in the lower right hand corner of the cover of the dance card. The knight imagery in the emblem alludes to Jacques DeMolay (ca. 1244-1314), the last Grand Master of the historical Knights Templar, who is the namesake of the Order of DeMolay, today known as DeMolay International.
