To Be Held at Palace Hotel January
24--Tickets Reasonabe--You
Need Not Costume.

The Colonial Ball to be given un.
der the auspices of Stephen Watts
kearny Chapter, Daughters Of the
American Revolution, promises to be
the most brilliant affair of the season.
The ball room at the Palace Hotel
will be decorated in true military style
| by Captain Muller and other Rough
Riders 1t will be open at half past
eight O'Clock and shortly thereafter
the officers of the Chapter, preceded
| by Governor Hagerman and as many
| of his staff as can make it convenient
to be present, will enter and receive
the guests; Captain Frederick Muller,
lof Troop Il, First Volunteer Cavalry.
the Rough Riders, will act as spe-
cial guard of honor to the officers of
this patriotic society At quarter
after nine the grand march will be-
gin, in which every one present is in.
lvlted to join. after which the bah will
open in earnest.
At ten, the minuet, that quaint and
stately dance of We olden time, will
be presented by maids and matrons,
and cavaliers dressed In the costume
of Colonial days. The DANES in gowns
with pointed bodices, powdered hair
and the coquettish and fascinating
tiny black patches on the face. The
Igallants will appear in knee breeches
and full skirted coats with lace ruffles
and dainty handkerchiefs, which are
used with the grace of beau of other
days. The fans in the hands of the
ladies will bring to mind the time
when that apparently inotfensive little
article conquered as forcibly. and Of
ten created as great havoc among the
hearts Of men, as the leaden bullet or
the sharp pointed sword
Those who choose TO do so, may pow
der the hair and wear any fancy or
old time costume, but this will not be
necessary.
The tickets for the ball have been
placed at the low price of one dollar,
and the dancing may be enjoyed till
the wee sma' hours set in
The management has decided to
separate the supper from the dance,
as there may be those present who
| will not care for the former. In the
large room on the left of the hall as
one enters the hotel Revolutionary
lsupper will be served. Waxen candles
will shed soft luster on the china,
glass and silver of the early days Of
our Republic the supper will consist
of baked beans and Boston brown
bread, prepared by ladyperpetual
from New England where these arti-
cles are cooked in the most appetizing
manner. A concession to the palate
Of the modern man has been made by
offering chicken salad there will also
be hot biscuits, sandwiches, sweet
pickles, jellies, spice, jelly and sponge
cake; and dainty tarts, prepared by
mine host Vaughn of the Palace Hotel,
whose pastry enjoys wide reputa-
ton. Hot coffee and tea will also be
served. The supper room will be op-
ened Immediately after the minuet Is
danced and will continue so for two
hours. Fifty cents will be charged
and all appetites may be satisfied.
1t Is hoped that this ball will be well
j patronized, as the Daughters of the
I American Revolution have not come
before the public for over five years,
and any money raised by this ball will
:. be used for the benefit of Santa Fe,
+ probably for bronze relieves on the
t stone arch which the last legislature
:. ordered to be erected at the southeast
e corner of the Plaza, near the old Fon
s da which marks the end Of the famous
s Santa Fe trail.
