Governors Ball
Elaborate Affair

CALEAICO, Jan. S.-The state
bah given at the Governor : palace
III MeXicali was wonderful sue
cess from the standpoint Of the 800
or more invited guests, who found
their way TO the brilliantly lighted
palace on last Saturday evening.
The one disappointment was that

honor. could not be there. General
Ferreiro was hurriedly sent for TO
fill the honor place.
The hall room was beautiful with
lis brilliant lights and perfect music,
which the people of our sister cOun-
try know how to produce.
The mirrored walls reflected all
the beauty and the comfortable and
spacious unholstered chairs and di-
vans offered relaxation for those
who did not care TO dance.
Large corsage bouquets of violets
were given 10 each lady present.
At T. o clock a sumptuous turkey
supper Was served
