OF THE QUEEN
They are To Be Imported
and Placed on Display
In Two Weeks.

The jewels of the Queen of the
Carnival have been ordered by one of
the Carnival Association committees,

have been secured in some large
city of this country.
1T is the usual custom to display the
jewels of the Queen one week before
the arrival of King Priscus, and the
fact that they have this year been
imported will cause more interest to
center about them while they are on
display.
