Bright with the carnival colors and
light and laughter. gay with gorgeous
gowns of beautiful women and the
blue and gold Of the service, breath
ing the very spirit of mirth and rev.
elry with which the advent of King
Priscus is always attended, the opera
house last night was the scene of one
of the most beautiful spectacles which
has ever featured Mardi Gras in PEN
sacola,
Boxes and balconies were draped in
yellow, green and purple, the carnival
colors, and with the many women
beautifully gowned. with their escorts
in evening dress and the officers of the
army and navy, the scene, even before
the rising OF the curtain, was a bril-
liant one.
The curtain rose upon a scene Of
wonderful beauty. The king and queen
were seated upon the throne in state,
and on either side were the ladies in
waiting and the dukes. the whole form
ing a tabIeau of charm and brilliancy.
Clothed in the gorgeous trappings
of royalty, the king was a monarch
ties of Mardi Gras, and the queen in
her youth and beauty was lovely as
any regent who has ever sat upon the
king Of the carnival.
The Kings costume was of white
satin. embossed in red velvet, the long
mantle of green velvet bordered with
ermine and embroidered in FIeur de
gold. Stalwart and regal in bearing,
his strong face and splendid bearing
denoted the power with which his rank
endowed him: his kingly robes were
worn with dignity and his manner be-
tokened recognition Of the high Office
which was his.
THE QUEEN.
The queens gown was one Of the
handsomest ever seen at a coronation
in Pensacola, and was most becoming
to her brunette beauty. Fashioned in
the high WASTED, draped mode SO pop
ular this winter. it was made Of but
tercup yellow satin charmeuse, with
embfoidered over-dre of pale yellow
chfffbn.
The skirt was in tunic effect. draped
over ian exquisite skirt of white ac-
Gordon pleated chiffon, the wide ruff
fles OF which was caught with deep
blue forget The entire gown
was elaborately embroidered In a floral
design of poppies and leaves, in the
sarss shade of yellow as the satin, the
centres OF the flowers being of pearls,
an exquisite pearl ornament also be-
ing used directly in the front of the
boliSe. The long court train was
grsckful and becoming, and the mantel
Of Kings Blue velvet, with its high
jev4ed Medici collar, was most be-
coming to the young queen. who was
resa and gracious in her bearing.
The mantle was edged with ermine,
ara the high collar was jeweled with
rIinestones.
The crown. necklace and girdle
we're of pure white brilliants, and her
DIVERS were an arm bouquet of long
semmed, American beauty roses.
The ladies of the court were all
owned in white satin and wore i'm
