Did not know they had these in France (4.00 / 2)

Bruce Willis et Alain Delon, pères comblés au bal des débutantes de Paris - Le Monde		Bruce Willis and Alain Delon, proud fathers at the Paris Débutantes Ball - Le Monde

Les acteurs Bruce Willis et Alain Delon ont ouvert, au bras de leurs filles respectives, le Bal des Débutantes de Paris, dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche à l'hôtel de Crillon, a constaté un journaliste de l'AFP.		Actors Bruce Willis and Alain Delon, arm-in-arm with their respective daughters, opened the Paris Débutantes Ball, on the night of Saturday to Sunday at the Hôtel de Crillon, noted a journalist from the AFP.
Selon une tradition aristocratique millénaire instituée en Grande-Bretagne, des jeunes filles de la "bonne société" font ainsi leur "entrée dans le monde".		According to an age-old aristocratic tradition established in Great Britain, girls of "good society" make their "entrance into world."
Alain Delon et Bruce Willis ont rapidement échangé leurs filles sous les applaudissements des 300 invités triés sur le volet et le regard ému de Rosalie Van Bremen et Demi Moore, les mères d'Anouchka et de Scoot Larue. <...>		Alain Delon and Bruce Willis quickle exchanged (presented?) their daughters to the applause of 300 blueribbon guests and under the gaze of Rosalie Van Bremen and Demi Moore, the mothers of Anouchka and of Scoot Larue. <...>
"Je suis très heureux et fou de bonheur" a confié à la presse Alain Delon, visiblement transporté par l'événement.		"I am very happy and crazy with happiness," Alain Delon admitted to the press, visibly elated by the event.
Interrompu en 1968, le Bal des " debs " de Paris est donné à nouveau depuis 1990. Cette année, l'événement était au profit de la fondation Mélita Bern-Schlanger en faveur de la recherche sur le diabète insulino-dépendant.		Suspended in 1968, the Paris "debs" Ball has been held again since 1990. This year the event was a benefit for the Mélita Bern-Schlanger Foundation supporting research on insulin-dependent diabetes.

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.

Suspended in 1968, the Paris "debs" Ball has been held again since 1990.

Can anybody say, "welcome back to the unequal society ?"... 1990 is about the time the progress on equality of incomes of the 70's was being reversed.
