JAPANESE SCENE
WAS MOST BEAUTIFUL
Grand March and Other Dances
We're Perfect In Appointment
and Elegant Costumes of
Ladies Made a Splendid
Picture at Alvarado.

The Japanese scheme of the Mon
tezuma ball committee was a great
success This was the universal opin-
ION of the several hundred people in
attendance. The guests began to
arrive at o'clock. A canopy shell
tered the way from the sidewalk on
First street to the west entrance of
the hotel, where the reception COM
mittee stood in waiting. BY the hour
OF 10 the parlors and the main lobby
or the hotel was crush of beauti-
fully gowned ladies and men in con-
ventional attire.
The grand march was led by Mrs.
j. A. Weinmann. wife of President
Weinmann of the fair association,
and George Curry, governor OF New
Mexico. The line of march was so
long that it extended almost twice
around the large dining room of the
hotel, which had been converted in
to a dancing pavilion. The color
scheme of that portion of the hotel
used by the guests of the Monte
yuma ball was Japanese, The mu-
sicians occupied raised platform in
the southwest corner of the room.
The large fire place in the west wall
of the hall sheltered the punch bowl,
presided over by two Japanese maid
ems, with chrysanthemums behind
their ears ana big pinks bows behind
their backs. The punch was a de-
licious mixture of champagne and
fruit, with a centerpiece of ice.
The crowd was so large that dane
ing was difficult, but the dancers
were in high spirits and a jostle now
and then elected only a smile.
The Pagoda a Favorite.
The Japanese pagoda in the little
court between the east wings OF the
hotel soon became very popular.
Tables sheltered by large Japanese
parasols occupied the grassy plot in
each of the four corners of the court.
The terrace of the fountain, over
which stood the pagoda, was mount
ed with a table also. This was the
most popular place of all in the
court.
Ablaze With Light.
The tower of the pagoda, which
extended fifty feet into the air was
blaze of colored lights and Japan
eSe lanters.. Ropes of colored lights
ran from the pagoda to each corner
of the quadrangle. Japanese lanters
hung from each arch of the old mis-
sion style veranda. The Japanese
lanterns swung lightly in the gentle
breeze that was blowing and potted
palms and plants on the outside of
the upper stories of the pagoda rust
led in barely audible whispers. on
either side of the pagoda magnified
by the faint light stood two large
storks. They were stuffed ones but
they appeared very real In the mel
low light
Thick rugs covered the walks and
here and there on the broad veranda
the dancers strolled or slipped tea
between the numbers
The Dining Room.
The west veranda presented an en-
tirely different scene, but the en-
riff.r rafNaa MT 1n1N To
This veranda had been converted
into a long dining room filled with
little square tables covered with snow
white linen, shining silver and glis-
tening glassware. A large bouquet of
golden chrysanthemums stood on
every table, filled the arches of the
veranda and nodded from the win
dow sills. Japanese maidens garbed
like the two presiding over the punch
bowls waited on the tables. The
lunch was table, d hote. and was cat
cred from a long table in the south
end OF the dining room. The guests
were permitted to view it before the
wreck, which came with the feast
The center piece was salad in the
form of a fish which filled a platter
more than two feet long. Cold chick
en-, tongue, pickles, olives, and celery
formed the principal part of the bill
of fare. The Odor of burned incense
served at IL O'Clock.
The dance program contained six
teen regular dances and number of
extras. The party broke up about 2
o'clock
