Carne (fr.) - Ladies' note-book for the ball, in which she wrote the order of dances and the names of those to whom they were promised. Traditionally rectangular carne was a small, flat case containing ivory plates and a pencil. It was often attached to the chatelaine. Such tiny notebooks existed in Russia in XVIII - XIX centuries (See .: Zabozlaeva T.B. "Jewellery in Russian culture of XVIII - XX centuries": Dictionary, St. Petersburg, 2003. p. 190)
