Opening.

NEW ORLEANS. March 2.-Today marks
the arrival Of Rex in the festivities attend
ant upon Mardi Gras and the formal OPEN
ing OF the New Orleans carnival The king
OF the carnival is received with elaborate
ceremonies by the mayor and other Off
cials this afternoon and taking the keys
to the city rules supreme until midnight
Tuesday. The jewels which will be worn
during the carnival by Rex and his queen
have been on exhibition in their capital
city, New Orleans, for several days. The
kings crown is Of gold. set with diamonds
and emeralds and lined with red velvet
The scepter is of gold and ivory and
studded with handsome gems OF many va
raeties. A heavy rope Of pearls and dia-
monds set with amethysts win be worn
across the monarchs breast

emeralds and consist OF girdle necklace,
bracelets and brooches. There is a tiara
OF unusual beauty. which is set with these
gems. The scepter is OF gold and pearl,
studded with many handsome stones.
The identity of those who play the parts
OF the merry monarchs in the carnival is
supposed TO be kept secret until the day
following the bah OF Rex tonight. when all
local newspapers publish pictures of the
king and his queen. While Rex is always
some prominent business man, the queen
is usually the daughter Of some repre-
sentative citizen. To be chosen as either
king or queen is considered a great honor,
and many thousands of dollars are spent
upon the robes and the gowns of the mon
archs whose reign lasts less than thirty
six hours.
During these thirty-six hours the merry
subjects of Rex and his queen give them
selves over to mirthful celebrations. Fol-
lowing the naval pageant and parade at
tendant upon the reception OF Rex the
parade and ball OF Proteus are held to-
night. Tomorrow morning there is the pa
rade OF Rex and tomorrow evening the
parade and the bah Of the Mystic Krewe
