They had perfume and other bottled scents which were often sprayed on their body and clothes in the powder room or at home. The roof above the ballroom was able to slide open to allow fresh air in and to let romantic couples dance under the stars at night.
Thanks. I became interested in this era when I studied the Titanic disaster in school. I admired the fashions, the music, the motor cars, the ocean liners, and above all the high standards and morals of the day.
@Aaron1912 -- I couldn't agree with you more on loving the high standards & morals of this time! I feel like I'm the only one in my 20s who still feels this way! lol
The downside - no deodorant and no air conditioning...
People took baths less frequently,too.
So maybe we are better off watching than being there, with our modern sensibilities :)

@ChicagoCris Oh you're not the only one, I'm also in my early 20's and feel this way ;) Plus I have an obsession with Art Deco thrown in :)
