MONTEzUMA BALL IS
GREAT FOR
TONIGH 1T
ALVARAD0 HOTEL READY
FOR BRILLIANT FUNCTION
Decorations Are Most EIabo-
rate and Most Attractive
Since Ball Became a Fair
Week Feature,

The man or woman who isn't
pleased with the arrangements for the
Montezuma ball tonight will be a very
difficult person to satisfy. This ball
IN its arrangements and appointments
is the most elaborate ever attempted
and the result of several weeks OF
hard work on the part of the COM
mittee is shown in the hotel, which
by tonight will nave been trans
formed into a little corner Of Japan.
Programs. decorations, service and at
t%endants. all will be Japanese and the
scheme is one of the prettiest and one
Of the cleverest that could have been
devised.
The pagodo. which occupies the
center of the fountain court, was COM
pleted yesterday, and last night the
Illumination was tested. Mr.. Herman
Schweizer. OF the Harvey system. who
has been in charge Of the erection of
the pagoda, was very heartily coInpli-
mented on his success last night, for
the pagoda is what the ladies will
probably call a dream" If they be
properly appreciative. and they us
ually are.
The Japanese tea room. which oc-
eupies the west veranda Of the hotel,
is another creation Of which the hO-
tel management has a right TO be
proud. 1t IS japanese throughout,
and it's effect under the shaded lights
is beautiful. Here pretty japanese
girls will serve tea and other things
during the evening. The programs
are c~leverly done in Japanese script
and design, and are quite as attractive
as all the rest of the appointments.
The grand march will begin
promptly at 9 O'Clock and will be led
by Governor Curry and Mrs. ]. \.
Weinman. The dance program car
ries sixteen numbers, but there Is
small doubt that the committee, If
properly approached will allow for,
an extra one or two. Guests are eX-'
pected after 9 O'Clock, and viii be re-
ceived at the west doors of the hotel,
where a canopy will be spread.
