A BRILLIANT, EVENT The Hostess' Ball Given at the West

Hotel Amid Elal orate Ap-apointments.

A Trio of Young Ladies of Well I / Known Families Assist in J ) Receiving.

The Hostess" ball is to Minneapolis v h a t the far-famed Assembly is to Phila­delphia, the crowning social event of the year. It is marked by the same air of e legant simplicity and exclusiveness . for only the representat ive men and women of the c i ty gather at the gracious bidding of a group of prominent women.

The decorat ions are a lways beautiful and a l w a y s unique, and though the a p ­pointments a t the West hotel character­ized no particular period last evening, there w a s a great charm in the leafy <orridors, the nag-draped ballroom and the flower-decked supper room. The cor­ridor w a s enclosed with a tall willow-hedge, and above it, across the archways and over the walls and ceiling. ran southern smilax in a riotous confusion of g lossy leaves and wav ing tendrils. Smilax w a s everywhere. It wreathed the pillars and garlanded the tall rose wood pedestals which held the quaint urns filled with long-s temmed American Beauty roses. No other flowers were used and the fragrance of the great pink blossoms filled the air w i t h a seduct ive sweetness . In a m o n g the green tangle of v ines and foliage were tall candlest icks holding white Roman candles whose l ights twinkled like stars. The marble floor w a s covered with oriental rugs and the same soft-hued carpets were thrown over the seats cosily arranged in the shadow of the green-decked pillars. The l ights were shaded to represent great, pink chrysan­themums, and the soft pink g low envel ­oped and enhanced the pretty picture.

In the ballroom American flags draped the windows and formed a background for the music ians' stage, which w a s screened with palms, whose broad l eaves a lmost

* reached to the ceiling, and ferns and trail ing vines . To the left of the bank of green w a s a tall candleabra which held Its group of Roman candles high above the dancers. Be tween the w indows flags of every nation were festooned and held in place wi th sprays of smilax and bas ­kets of ferns stood In the w indows through which came a s tream of s im­ulated moonlight from the electric l ights skillfully arranged without . The door­ways leading to the ballroom were hung with flags and in a leafy corner in the alcove was the punch table -with the bowl se t in a green wreath.

The supper room w a s Japan. Japan in cherry-blossom season, and the wal ls were a drift of del icate pink blossoms aga ins t a hedge of deep green pine trees. The southern smi lax ran in a network over t h e a doorways and mantel and wreathed the mirrors which reflected the flower-laden branches again and again. The large round table w a s placed be­neath pine trees and cherry trees which stretched their pink-t ipped boughs above the cloth. In the center of the table w a s a mound of feathery ferns and gl i s ­tening a m o n g the fronds were innumer­able electric l ights , like so m a n y dew drops. The same effect w a s used in the green tangle on the mantel and the pink tapers on the table were topped wi th electric globes wi th flower shades. The room sparkled and shone in the suub-dued brilliancy of the great pink-shaded l ights like an enormous flower tipped wi th dew.

The gues t s were received by Mmes. Thomas Lowry, S. T. McKnight, E . L. Carpenter. Charles W . Case, Wi l l iam G. Xorthup. David P. Jones, Frank B. S e m -ple. W. C. Edgar, and Frank W .

A Nervous Woman Will often feel compelled to stop the clock whose ticking seems unbearable to her. In such a nervous condition the woman needs a building up of the entire system. It is useless to attempt the cure

of t h e nerves while the cause of the nervous­ness remains un-cured. A very common cause of nervousness in women is a diseased condi­

tion -of the delicate .womanly organism.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription c u r e s womanly diseases and the nervousness which they cause. It changes irregularity to regular­ity, dries the drains

... which weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration ana cures female weakness. It is a perfect tonic and nervine, tranquilizing the nerves, promoting the appetite and in­ducing refreshing sleep.

«Wben I first wrote you I bad been to three different doctors and two of them said I would never get better without going to the hospital for an operation," writes Mrs. Selraa Ericbson, of 406 Rice Street, St. Paul, Minn. "Was not able to do anything. If I would get up and walk to the kitchen and back I would have to he in bed for a dcy or sometimes two days. Now I have used six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre­scription and six of the4 Golden Medical Discov­ery, * and the result is Just wonderful. I was «o nervous I had to have some one by my side itU the time even in day time, and I could hardly eat anything. I took treatment from a doctor twice a week, and every time I would go there I felt so sick, but since I quit all the doctors and began taking your medicines I gained right along. I weighed 125 pounds, when I began taking your medicines (in August) and now I am up to my usual weight 165. I am as well and feel as good as ever."

Twenty- f ive Trunks and as , ' Many Boxes .

Miss Margaret Leiter, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lev i Z. Leiter, wil l be one of the best gowned w o m e n at the durbar, Delhi , India, and her entire wardrobe is the product of her nat ive city, Chicago. Miss Daisy, a3 she is morev familiarly

'known to the public, has a lways said that she obtained more sat is factory results by. hav ing her g o w n s designed in Chicago than in N e w York, Par is and London. W h e n Mrs. Lei ter decided to accept the invitation of h e r son- in- law, Lord Curzon, viceroy of India, and at tended the great historic pageant known as the durbar, or crowning of the emperor of India, the m o ­mentous question rose of j ireparing «uit> able toi lets for the grand event. Miss D a i s y unhes i tat ingly said that . she. would Unhesitatingly' obtain all she needed in Chicago. . It has been s tated that Mrs. Leiter arid Miss Leiter carried with- them abroad the m o s t complete wardrobe ever taken from th i s country. Twenty-f ive trunks were required for thejgowris, and other less delicate articles ^ e r e sent in shipping boxes . In order to" avoid a n y misunderstanding, e i ther on arriving in England, where they first landed, or on their return to this country, Mr. Leiter had a complete inventory made of the gowns , jewels and l inger ie -and-placed a copy in t h e . h a n d s of the Uni ted S ta te s cus toms officers in N e w .York and sent a n ­other copy to the -officials of England. This is the first time, s u c h , a course has been adopted, and Mr,. Leiter bel ieves that he has spared his wife a n d daughter much trouble and annoyance . Miss Leiter h a s vis i ted Indian before, but this is Mrs. Leiter's first venture into that myst ica l land. They will remain in Delhi until February and will then go to Simla. -;
