T0-NIGHT'S GRAND BALL.
Admirable Arrangements for the Ea-
Eerly Anticipated Social Event
of the Week.

The beauty and fashion of the whole
eleventh annual Priests of Pallas ball.
Everything is in readiness for this great
social feature of the fall festivities. to
which thousands of persons look forward
with impatience each year. The den has
been transformed into a bower of beauty,
positive wonders having been performed
by the skillful concealment of the uninvit-
ing hall.
The floor has been canvased and the dec
orations in national and Priests of Pal
las colors combine to make a more than
presentable scene. The grand central aisle
has been canopied in a very effective man
ner by suspending four immense japanese
umbrellas at intervals between the full
dress entrance and the orchestra stand.
From these umbrellas flowing streamers of
red and purple, the Priests of Pallas colors,
have been run to either side of the lower
ceiling, producing Maypole effect which
is very pretty.
The reserved boxes have been tastily
draped in red white and blue. and red and
purple bunting caught up. In fan effects,
which are striking and original. This is the
style of the decorations throughout the
hall, the committee and directors rooms
and the dressing rooms on the north side
u.
An abundance of light will be provided by
the row of incandescent lights which runs
entirely around the hall and the eight arc
lights which are suspended from the CELL
ing at intervals. The band stand from
which Zimmerschied's orchestra will fur
nish the music is Drofusely decorated with
bunting and by tonight bank of potted
plants will have arisen to hide the orches-
ira from view.
The following official directions for the in
formation of guests Of the ball have been
issued by the directors of the Priests of
Pallas:

This is the day for the shaggy-haired
warriors of the gridiron to meet in battle
array at Exposition park. 1t is Kansas
against Missouri-not the Missouri that
lines up on Thanksgiving day, but new
Missouri. the University Medical college
eleven of this city. The game that will be
played this forenoon will be one of the
gamest fought battles of the year Kan
sas comes to town smarting under the de-
feat administered by the Doctors last wear
and it comes with the teachings of a Penn,
sylvania coach who is anxious to demon
strate the superiority of his method. The
Doctors never were stronger, never more
confident that when the smoke Of conflict
clears away the banner Will still be
there and that victory will rest with them.
The game will be called at 10 o'clock

seat 1000 people, and there seems little
doubt but that great crowd will be pres
ent to witness the contest. A line will be
