ginning with this years Durbar, Tulsa
will take her place as the social lead

her annual Mardi Gras. The posi-
tlon Of queen of the Mardi Gras has
always been held by a daughter OF
tho most prominent family of New
Orleans, and such has been and Will
be the case In Tulsa. Were the bar
riers thrown down and persons per-
mitted tp be elected Queen OF the Dur
