M0NTEzUM MA BALL
SURPRISES ALL
EXPECTATIONS
ALL NEW MEXICO SOCIETY
AT BRILLIANT FUNCTION
Careful Arrangements and Per-
feet Appointments Make An
nuaI Fair Week Social Event
a Perfect Success.

The Aiyarado hotel has been the
scene of quite a number of celebra-
tions IN honor of that attractive per-
sonage who figures in several more
or less interesting historical romances
as Montezuma. Year by year these
events have been growing more and
more pretentious and elaborate. and
while New Mexico society has had
less and less 10 do with the affair.
while New Mexico society has bad
more. Had the Aztec monarch float
ed down into the ball room last night.
as legend says he will some day do,
he would have found a pair of very
attractive japanese maldens serving a
very attractive kind of drink. and as
nearly as we know Montezuma had no
personal acquaintance either with
japanese ladies' or with the particai-
larry pleasing beverage served in his
honor last night. Had Montezuma
found his way into the tea room. or
the Pagoda, he would have needed a
guide, an interpreter and a map Of the
premises. But in spite Of it all. Monte
yuma won't have had a good time;
for even a tabled monarch of tremen-
dous dignity would have found it nee
essary to unbend and enjoy himself at
the ball last night, quite the most
brilliant and most successful Monte
yuma ball since this event became the
social feature of the year in New
Mexico.
The arrangements committee con
eluded that New Mexico people had
had enough of Mexican decoration:
that Spanish and Aztec and Indian
things had been worn out, and so they
hunted for something new-and found

japanese idea was carried out through
the whole decorative scheme. In the
