THE accession of the Prince Of
Wales as Edward VII of the king
4 dom of Great Britain and Ireland,
king. defender OF the faith and emperor
OF India. naturally excites an interest
in name and title. It also calls atten-
tion to the fact that Notwithstanding
a great many years have elapsed since
an Edward has appeared in the list Of
England's royal names there was a pc
riod in which it was both famous eand
significant
1t is just 1000 years since the first
Edward rose to prominence in England,
when. as king of the West Saxons, ne
succeeded Alfred the Great in the
year 901. He was followed by Edward
the Martyr, king OF the Anglo-Saxons,
who was murdered about the year 97S,
and after him came Edward the Con-
fessor, who died more than 900 years
ago and was canonized a century later.

THE crowning event, the culminat-
ing triumph, of the carnival sea-
4 son, the celebration of Mardi Gras,
or Fat Tuesday" falls this year on the
18th Of February, but the festivities have
already been inaugurated by which. it
is fondly hoped, the Crescent City's
prestige win be more than maintained
The ante-Lenten week begins what has
well been called the high tide Of the
season, with the indoor entertainments,
the balls, spectacular pageants and So
cial functions generally.
1t Is saying a great deal to declare
that this months revels and routs viii
surpass those OF all former years, but
what the carnival committees promise
they always more than fulfill, though
their doings are so enshrouded in mys-
terry that nobody, not even If a partici-
pant. knows in advance the character
Of the celebration in its entirety. The
official programme, however, may be
outlined as follows: Thursday, Feb. H.
at night, the parade Of the Knights of
Aomus; Monday. Feb. Is. at noon, the
arrival of Rex; at night. the Knights Of
Proteus viii parade; Mardi Gras, Feb.
49, at noon, reception to Rex, the king;
at night. the grand ball of COmus, at
which Rex and his queen preside and
end
Whatever the character OF the festiv-
tiles during the week preceding Mardi
Gras. or Shrove Tuesday, and however
fast and furious the fun has been, on
that day they are at their height and
end only at the stroke Of midnight.
There are usually four great parades on
Monday and Tuesday, two each day.

1t is of course generally known that

In the western hemisphere Mardi
Gras is celebrated wherever the Latin
peoples predominate. as in Mexico
South America, etc, but the recognized
home of the carnival in the United
States is conceded to be Louisiana,
where the Mardi Gras has been de-
clared a legal holiday. The ''fetes des
fous'' of the French and their Mardi
Gras, or Fat Tuesday, with it's "boeuf

merryTnakIngS, were hrSr transported
to New Orleans about 20 years ago, but
the chief features of the pageants,
which have differentiated the Crescent
City carnivals from all others, are Of
later date
The nerrymakers known as the MyS-
tick Krewe of Comus were introduced in
1857, having been suggested by Milton's
.'Comus,' which was then for the first
time spectacularly rendered. The ap-
pearance of Rex dates from 1872, at
which time also, the Twelfth Night
Revelers made their bow to the public,
and in addition there are the Knights
of Momus and the Krewe of Proteus,

say, but little could be expected from
youth of his tender years, and his short
reign was turbulent in the extreme.
Henry VIII bequeathed the crown to
his son and his issue edward VD, and,
failing them, to Mary and her heirs; in
case of. her death to Elizabeth; finally,
passing over the Scottish line, it was
to go to the children Of his sister Ma
rvs two daughters.
More than the third of a thousand
years-to be exact, 348-have elapsed
since the death Of the last Edward in
English royal annals, the last of the
Tudors being Elizabeth, the sister of
Edward VI. With the death of Eliza
beth in 1903 the Tudor line became ex-
tinct as a dynasty, and the house of
Stuart succeeded in the person of
James (James VI of Scotland), son of
Mary, queen of Scots. In a roundabout
way the house of Hanover came to rule
over England through George 1. a
great grandson of King James. But
the Hanoverians were foreign, both by
birth and instinct, and George III, who
came to the throne in 1850, was the first
of the brood who could truly boast of
being a true born Englishman"
In the family of the Duke of York,
the present heir apparent to the throne,
there is an Edward and a Henry as
well as an Albert in the direct line of
succession. Prince George himself
bears the name of the four Hanoveri-
ans. His elder brother, who died in
1892, was Duke of Clarence. Thus we
find the titles of four great houses in
this single group Of the late queens
grandchildren. The title Duke of York
was formerly conferred upon the youn-
ger sons Of the kings of England and
was first borne by Edmund Plantage-
net, fifth son of Edward III, who was

Henry VII. the great founder Of the

1909, after a long and successful reign,
during which commerce was encour-

ed. His son and successor was Henry
VIII. born 1891, died 1547, three of
whose six wives had children who sat
on the throne after his demise. The
first, Catherine of Aragon, was mother
of Bloody Mary; the second, Anne
Boleyn, bore him Elizabeth. and the
third, Jane Seymour, gave birth to
that Prince of Wales who succeeded
his father as Edward VI.
1t is a far cry back to the time of
the last Edward who sat upon the
throne and still farther to the last
Henry. But it is still farther to the
day when Edward, the Black Prince,
found on the battlefield of Crecy the
crest of three ostrich feathers borne by
the blind king of Bavaria, who was
among the slain, and appropriated both
crest and motto ('sIch dien'D which
have ever since been retained by the
princes of Wales.
If prestige of knightly qualities and
popular esteem attaches to these vari-
Gus royal appellations, then surely the
present reigning family should benefit,
for it has revived and annexed them
