 fortune in War
By Associated Press

Baltimore, January u.-Seventy- of the 200 men of the American fighting forces who were blinded in the war now are sheltered treated or educated in the Red Cross Institute for the Blind at Bal timore. The institution has been desig- mated as a United States general hospi- tai and IS called Evergreen" Colonel James Bordley, director of the institute, said that all the Americans blinded in the war would be brought here for course of training, as this was the only training school for the blind maintained by the government. He described the morale of the blinded men as wonderful
 The men are first treated in the hos pital, says Colonel Hordley in a state ment, after which they are taught to use a typewriter and read and write Braille-- raised type for the blind Then they re- ceive special training to develop the sense of touch

MONTGOMERY STILL TALKING OF BRILLIANT
 INAUGURAL BALL LAST MONDAY EVENING
By RosALIE ARM1srEAD HIGGINS


 Montgomery. January 2.-(SpeciaL) Brilliant in every detail and attended by hundreds of guests. including many prominent visitors from all sections of the state. the inaugural ball on Mon- day evening will go down in history as one of the most memorable occasions in the history of the social life of the Capitol City. The day of Governor Kill by's inauguration was a perfect one of balmy sunshine, and the ball in the eve ming was all that was needed to make it a truly perfect day.
 The grand march was led by Governor l.. Miller, wife of the lieutenant gov ernor, assisted by Lieutenant Governor Miller, with '-the First Lady of the State, Mrs. Thomas E. Kilby.'' Coming next were Miss Anne Horry Kilby, the only daughter of the governor, with her cous- in, Capt L. J. Clark, U. S. N, stationed at New Orleans
 Mrs. Miller wore beautiful gown of shell pink chiffon, trimmed with sil- yer thread lace, and bouquet of Parma violets and white sweet peas
 Mrs. Kilby was very handsome, wear ing an exquisite gown of white satin, brocaded in silver and a corsage bouquet of orchids, tied with purple ribbon.
 Miss Kilby wore a lovely, girlish gown of blue Faille silk, trimmed in silver lace, and her bouquet, like her mothers was also of orchids.
 The auditorium was converted into a fairyland of beauty, and one familiar with it. would not have recognized it as the same place. The stage represent ed a garden scene, with a woodlands background, in which played electric fountain, banked around with moss, while in the fountain, gold fishes darted hither and thither A latticed arch formed the front of the stage setting, with trac- cries of southern smilax and red roses making a wonderfully artistic effect. At the back was a woodland effect, ar- ranged by MT. Lee A. Noah of the Grand theatre.
 On one side of the stage was a patri- ouc wreath of red, white and blue inn morteles, in which was the picture of President Wilson, while on the other side was the seal of Alabama, with a real eagle.
 Around the balcony at intervals were state shields decorated with the St. An drew cross, and each one bearing the name of governor of Alabama, from the first Governor William Wyatt Bibb to Governor Kilby, The shield for the governor inaugurated Monday bore the words, Thomas Erby Kilby, 19l9-1923 Peace Prosperity
 Wreaths of fragrant pine, alternated with the shields, and around the bal cony rail were tall chamaerops, native palms and festoons of Spanish moss.
 Over the heads of the dancers was a wonderful canopy of southern smilax, studded with electric lights and hundreds of small United States flags, while around the walls and overhead hundreds of United States flags and flags of the allies were effectively used.
 The vestibule to the auditorium was decorated with southern smilax and the entire ceiling was hidden from view by the mass of green, while at each end were banks of palms.
 The Country club was the scene of a beautiful luncheon Tuesday afternoon, when the inaugural committee, through

ceiyed in the living room. Mrs. Miller wore a lovely costume of black and white chiffon with corsage bouquet of pink roses and sweet peas Mrs Kilby was handsomely gowned in lavendar satin, with a corsage bouquet of roses and sw eet peas.
 Mrs. Nathan Miller wore a pretty cos tune of ruby satin and lace and cor sage bouquet of crimson roses and white sweet peas.
 Miss Kilby wore a girlish toilette of pink silk, with a corsage of pink roses Miss Margaret Janney received the guests at the door.
 Mrs. Charles Thigpen served tea from an artistically appointed table in the dining room, and the coffee table in the sun parlor was presided over by Mrs. Sara Toney Oates.
 Delicious refreshments were served dur ing the afternoon. The receiving party included Mrs Phillipa Ball Stratford, Mrs. Halls Janney, Mrs. J. $. Pinckard, Mrs w. c. Oates, Jr., Mrs. R. r. Ligon, Mrs L. B. Farley, Mrs. J T. Hall, Mrs. c. C. Cobbs, Mrs. George c. Ball, Mrs. w. C. Dowd of Charlotte, N. C., and Miss Julia LeHardy of Savannah. MT. and Mrs J. A. Thompson will leave this week for Jacksonville. St. Au- gustine and other points in Florida to spend several weeks.
 Miss Helen Van Hoose, who played the | leading part so splendidly last evening | in "'The Thirteenth Chair" at the Grand theatre. is an Alabama woman, Eufaula | having been her birth place. She is a sister of Ellison Van Hoose. the noted | tenor and of pr. Van Hoose of Shorter college, and is a warm, personal friend of Mrs Bessie l..

the entertainment committee, entertained in compliment to Mrs. Thomas E. Kilby, wife of Alabama's new governor and Mrs. Nathan L. Miller, wife of the lieu tenant governor. The club was elabor- ately decorated for the occasion with d wealth of southern smilax and cut flowers while the decorations of the table were exquisite. At intervals were baskets of Ophelia roses and traceries of hot house smilax, while the place of each guest was marked by a single pink rose. The places of Mrs. Kilby, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Charles Henderson, wife of the retiring governor, were marked by beau- tiful corsage bouquets of roses and or chids. Mrs. Bibb Graves presided as toast mistress in a most happy manner, and gave the following address:
 "I have discover that there are three classes of people. To the first be- longs those who think their own, their home, their people, their city, the best because it is theirs. In the second class there are those who think that other peoples possessions are the best be- cause they haven't them and can't get them; while the third class has an ope'. mind on the subject and welcomes a chance to investigate and judge. With out confessing to which class l belong. will say that I had the opportunity this third class desires-investigatng.
 For more than two years while fol lowing my husband at a respectful distance required by army regulations, I have gone from pillar to post. The pillow is not always as downy as one could wish and the post is usually regular army post, too crowded to ad- init a national guard officer and his wife. In that time I have lived and moved and had my being in sever states. ranging from Texas to New York. And given this opportunity o1

Stimulants

Norman Hapgood, in Leslie's.
 Coffee, the latest luxury on which MT. Hoover has given us the privilege of economizing, is a late-comer in civilza- ton. Now patriotism will enable us to see what people did before this drink was discovered. I quote (from memory and therefore perhaps loosely the cap ton to an old picture of Du Maurier s in Punch. Two Oxford boys, with the languid disillusion in fashion 9O years ago, were sitting over their coffee and cigarets.
 What would life be without coffee?' one inquired.
 "Yes, replied the other. And what is life, even with coffee?"
 The United States consumes more cof- fee per head, I believe, than any Eu- ropean country outside of Holland and Scandinavia. The British take only half of what we take, and the Russians all most none: but there is nothing surpris- ing in that, since these two countries
