Everybody play fair now. Here's
to the have-beens, the is-nows and
the wlll-bees; with consideration, this
day, only for the lair that is now
So-'Don't worry about the future,
The present Is all thou hast;
The future will soon be present
And the present win soon be past
Time is almost human III his pref
eronce for the gay hours and,
strange, isn't il? How quickly old
man Time grasps them n how he
dal1ics before he plunges the dark
hours into oblivion,
And Lets us be gay while we may
and seize the week with laughter" for
the glad tomorrow will soou be he
fair OF yesteryear.
The eternal smile is upon us in the
form of sparkling sunshine and the
famed carnival at Nice. afar across
the seas, has not bluer skies above
or more beautiful still starry nights,
We can't go padding about in
canoes but wandering the glad way
of colored lights, sparkling with ir-
responsible laughter, songs and music,
we can join in the spirit of revelry,
and find IT quite as nice as Nice. Par
don The pun,
Albuquerque in gala attire cannot
but make us proud and the swaying
lanterns across the streets and the
gayly decorated buildings present a
scene Of unusual beauty that should
usher into the minds and hearts OF
the children and their visitors moods
of daring gladness thai will dlspel
gloom as the sun chascs the rain
clouds.
Its only patriotic to be glad this
year. for, as the forever quoted Roose-
welt said when elected president, IL
am no longer an accident" SO in the
same spirit we may say. New Mexico
is no longer a territory" Every
mothers son and daughter of us have
been glad since the tidinss were
flashed over the wires. but there is
not always in this busy w~ork-a-day
world, time to celebrate. But the op-
portunity is now our own, and it's up
to the people to show that we feel our
Importance and TO make the first
statehood fair the greatest event in
the historic annals Of New Mexico
The management have done their
share and brought the attractions atd
now all we have TO do is put on glad
rags and spirits and show how we'll
we appreciate the efforts made in be-
half OF the state and people. Il
IT'S Just o simple case VI placing
duh care high on the mental shelves
and locking old man Crouch close

Society the past week didn't play
bridge or so to luncheons. resting up
for the week and will appear
in all her glory at the Charity ball
Tuesday and the Montezuna Friday.
She pouted Just q trifle when the
ures and. so doing, did away with
one of the brilliant balls of the week.
Of course, it was the thing to do, as
society reluctantly agreed, but with
feminine inconsequence she wanted
the ball first and the law q bit de-
layed. But | think she is somewhat
consoled by the unparalleled brill
lance of the two balls. 1t would seem
someone wanted to make up the loss
OF Que to the capricious lady by hav-
ing the two more splendid than ever
before.
Let us extend a thousand welcomes
to the strangers in the city, ask them
to come to the balls, and wish them a
Jolly good time. And. "Mizpab." when
they go. but here's hoping they stay. +.
It's fitting, too. We say something
to the fair management. Altogether,
Three cheers for Messrs. j. "
