Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1910-09-18

little poem about the Philadelphia
| which applies equally to The
Albuquerque:
We thought whatever tickle fashion
did,
The limit of enlargement of the lid
Was reached a while ago-but now
they rise
Aeroplanely to the astonished skies
And flap, propeller-wise, before
But Albuquerque 1--WE are glad of
that
Thinks more of what is underneath
the hat.
No just as we do not do" the ex-
eesses Of social life we do not take
to the extremes of fashion. But the
really fashionable never do anyhow,
anyplace or anytime, do they?
You, in your several trips through
to California have seen the Alvarado?
Well, my dear, you AN live there ana
be sure of every convenience in case
OF accident (the Indians may get obs
streperous) or in the way of meals.
Or il you would keep house and want
to live in the fashionable part of
town, choose the west side. Doesn't
that sound citified enough to salts
fy your cosmopolitan soul?
There's Honeymoon Row, but that
is no place for a charming spinster
like Yourself and you do believe in
the eternal fitness of things | know.
West Central, Copper, Tijeras or any
of the cross streets out to Twelfth az
are inhabited by the ''swells and
bellies .
In fact you will find them scattered
over different parts Of the town but
mostly punched in mat section OF
the city.
Now, Peggy, if [ had time / would
name the select "One Hundred OF
the burg so when you arrive you
might compare the list with your call
ers and be well informed as TO who's
Who but let's leave hat for another
day.
As to suffrage for the new state, we
are unable at present speaking to say
whether that win be "A gift from IA
Their Constitution to the lately born
Bring out some Of that literature
which Mrs. @. II. =. Belmont is i'm
porting along with her new gowns.
Mrs. Q. f.. F.. is to do things for SUI
fraee this winter, if we can believe
the advance information. She was
much edited during a recent visit IN
London to see pretty girls walking up
and down carrying black umbrellas on
which were painted in white II yell
low Votes for women" 4
Now how many girls could you get
in New York or in the country for
that matter who would be willing to
walk up and down the street carry
ing suffrage umbrellas?
However Mrs. Belmonts suffrage
efforts may win the Woman's forgive
ness for that remark of hers to the
effect that American husbands give
their wives too much money. Cen
erous of speech, | believe the lady
meant to be and like many an ct
fective speaker who carries his audi
nee with him no matter which side
of the question he axes she sought
to emphasize the liberality at the eX-
pense of the wife. And the women
didn't like it mary q bit" but doubt
less YOU remember the objections ex-
pressed in the papers. But away with
dry and fruitless discussion. or
course the important coming event in
these parts is the Montezuma all.
It's an annual affair and will make
your New York eyes open wide, used
as they are to magnificent balls and
gorgeous costumes.

pretty one, Peggy. of the great Mon
tezuma. He was born in the Pecos
Pueblo. at least, so it's said and the
ruins can be seen to this day. Pas
sengers on the santa Pc railway just
after the trains cross the Pecos river
at san Miguel are always told to look
over at the ruins where the great lie
Of Montezuma began its existence.
Since you are to travel through New
Mexico YOU may some day see Tor
yourself.
Montezuma. grown to
proved himself possessed of supefna-
tural powers. lie assembled q great
army of Aztecs and mounted on a
great eagle became the guide for a
long tourney southwark. At each
place the eagle alighted a village was
rounded. The journey was to end
when the eagle, alighting on a cactus
hush. deVoured a serpent and tradl-
tion has II that thus the City Of Mex
leo became the capital of the Aztec
nation. Have you ever noticed the
eagle with the serpent in his mouth
on the coins and postage of Old Mex
leo? 1t is also incorporated in h
seal of tho new state and the Eagle
OF NonteZuma 3 depicted beneath h
sheltering wings OF the great Ameri-
can Eagle.
Do YOU know the motto of New
Mexico CREST Eundo,' meaning
III grows as il goes and formerly
used as a part Of the old quotation APP
piled to fame or rumor.
So we call the biggest social event
of an the twelve moons h Monte
yuma ball.
You have dined in the beautiful Al
yarado dining room
THAT becomes on the night IN ques-
lion a ball room aud the west veranua
"A SIMMER room. This west side which
perhaps YOU dld not notice is all n
closed. and is always beautiful for tins
occasion. with much greenery anu
great clusters Of flowers from Califor-
MIA. with soft shaded ligths n as
delightful a menu as your lear a
dorf Astoria could prepare.
That may seem an excess or enthu-
siasm on my part but really n ban
quet is in strict keeping with the
whole affair.
The cast vcranda surrounding the
plaeita is generally used as a prone

japanese garden. a miniature indiah
village OF something equally pretty.
As it will be this year. my dear, but
more beautiful than ever before. and
that is putting IL pretty strongly.
