Communications and comfortable quarters IN
rooms of private residences which had
been placed at the disposal of the carnival

them. At any rate, there is at present no
fear of failure in that regard.

! CARNIVAL OF CoLoRs.
The capital of the Rexes is in a carnival
of colors.
The decorations are as various as the ar
tistic tastes and eccentric dispositions Of
the people who prepared them. Every
conceivable device of arrangement is to bt
seen and some of the combinations are eX
tremely striking and beautiful.
The royal colors of Rex [ are purple
gold and green and of RI Il Ii the nationa
colors, red, white and blue, corresponding
with the time at which the carnival Ii
being held.
Twenty fifth street, from the Union de
pot to Washington avenue, through which
the royal train will pass on its way to the
carnival palace is mass of bunting, il
streamerS, feStoons, and careleSSly dropped
from the house cornices to the pavement
suspended from balconies, running int
c )lnmon centers where it is caught up an,
lolded into rosettes, ornamented wit
shields of the national colors and ever
other device that can be thought OF. l.

TRIUMPHAL ARCH

Il Washington avenue is Kaleidoscope
. color, and some of the business houses di
! play rare taste in their designs. The fir

, Scowcraft building, just north of tt
: Broom hotel. This is a profusion of bun

w lite and blue bunt ng. Some Of Il
b oths erected along the streets are gay
