MAN AO NAASC tAAAhD kNAA'
 Perhaps the most beautiful, elaborate and elegant function of its kind ever given in Montgomery was the favor german given by Mr. and Mrs. Hard wick Ruth last evening at their home on Clayton street when they enter tained in honor of Miss Algie Hard wick, daughter of Mir Samuel Hard wick. This young woman Is one of the most prominent as well as attractive debutantes who have entered the social world of Montgomery this season to lend to it here grace and charm, and the german in her honor last evening was a fitting introduction to a num- Der of her friends of the dancing con- tingency. The german was danced in the spacious reception hall parlors and dining room and the reception room was for the occasion used for the favor and punch room. It was further beautified by a lavish placing of La France roses. Long stemmed American beauty roses in profusion adorned the hall and pink carnations were bounti- fully arranged with artistic effect throughout the other apartments. From large round mahogany table the fav- CTS were dispensed and from a taste fully appointed table bon bons and punch was served.
 The german began with a march led by MT. Shepard Ii. Roberts and Miss Hardwick and the favors for it were: Court decorations consisting of broad satin ribbons of every color on which was written in gold the date January 17, '06. These were worn during the entire evening by both the gentlemen and their partners. Those for the gen. clement were pinned diaoganally across the chest beneath the coat and those for the ladies adorned diagonally the front of their bodices.
 For the first figure green shepherd crooks with large pond lilies attached were presented the young women and water lily horn to the gentlemen. For the next figure swagger sticks were the gentlemen's favor and fans the la- dies. For the next buttonnieres were presented the gentlemen and tulip caps the ladies. For the next big Indian caps to the gentlemen and squaw feath- CTS to the ladies.
 Many other general favors fol- lowed, all unique and fascinating In their appropriateness.
 The favors were tastefully selected and handsome in design and many a popular girl Is sure to have a corner in her boudoir devoted to their keeping as souvenirs of one of the most de- lightful occasions of the season of 1905~06.
