Tourists who inger in Havana dur
ing the Carnival season, will have
nothing to regret, and much to gain
1t is the maddest, merriest season of
the whole year and enjoyed alike by
rich and poor. Care and worry are
thrown to the winds, and the city pre-
sents gala appearance, which with
it's tropical setting, make a profound
impression upon the stranger.
The carnival opened with the Cor
onation of the Queen of the Carnival
in Havana's new stadium (Which seats
twelve thousand people,, a few days
before the beginning of Lent
This ceremony is of great antiquity
and originated in Europe where it is
still observed to some extent.
To the majority of the Havanese,
however, it was a new and novel sight,
and it was celebrated with all the old
time pomp.
The Queen Of the Carnival is
chosen each year from the working
girls of Havana, by popular vote. 1t
goes without saying, beauty counts in

York. store which by the way is an
American concern. The Queen has
four maids of honor, likewise elected
by popular vote.
The Queen and her court not only
have a great many entertainments
given in their honor, but are the CEN
ter of attraction in the Carnival pa
rade. These parades or professions
take place on the four days preceding
Lent, and during the Sundays in Lent
This year the mayor of Havana is
sued a set of rules and regulations for
the Carnival season. One of the most
important was that no one should
wear a costume representing a foreign
nationality, or that could offend any
national feeling. The line of parade
is usually UP and down the ''Prado''
This avenue consists of double
promenade in the center, lined with
seats and a drive on each side The
coaches and autos go up one side
and down the next in a continuous
round. This is Havana's fashiona-

During the Carnival season serpen-

GREETINGS FROM SATURDAY EVE

Dear Editor and Social Corner
Friends: 1 wonder how many of the
Sisters have a text calendar? 1 look
every morning and see what the verse
is for the day and get it impressed on
my mind, and then as I fit from one
household duty to another the verse
fits with me, and then when the
shades of night have fallen, I ask:
s'Have gotten from the verse all there
Is for me?"
]. A. K: What a beautiful day for
your birthday. I hope you enjoyed ev-
cry minute of it, and had a big shower
of postcards from your friends and the
Cornerites. Did you get the card
sent?
M. Roena: With the aid Of first prize
you can add the chair to your porch.
Sally Muggins: 1 was glad to see you
had a storeroom in your bungalow.

AN INQUIRY FROM SILENT PART
NER, .a.

Dear Friends of the Corner: 1 am
a poor letter writer at best, and chose
my pen-name because L knew 1 should
be silent the most of the time, and
leave the space for more interesting
writer's; but read The Corner page
with interest every week, and get
many good ideas from it.
I wish the Sister who recommended
Foot Balm Powder. would. let me
know where to get it. Tried to get
it in two drug stores in Norwich, and
they never heard of it.
Blanche: 1. like you, keep a book
account Of household expenses, and
have many times found it very handy
to refer to.
Merry Widow: Thanks for remem-
bering me. I truly ann busy every
minute. Have just got the last grand
child started in going to school, and
it is something of a relief not to have
questions to answer all day long.
Crimson Rambler: 1 am still Won

WORDS OF THANKS FROM DIANA

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis
ters:-I began to think 1 was having
a birthday as well as the Social Cor
ner, for a day or two before the 18th,
and day or two after, letters and
cards were received by me from a
number of you.
To the Editor I wish to say I have
enjoyed The Bulletins booklet, and
think with THE Shepherd of Jebel
MUIR that those persons, who wish to
up those who have fallen in by-paths,
must keep together and work together
with this thought upper most in their
minds.
I am deeply indebted to the one who
ordered THE Woman's Home Com
the mail carrier did not deliver it
until the 18th. I shall have a new
pleasure each month, and 1 wish the
giver to know I appreciate her kind
thought of me.
Aunt Mehitab1e's kindness in send
ing The Ladies' World to me will also
bring added happiness each month. :.
Then Eta Barber, Aunt Mehitabl
Auntie No. 1, Theoda, Great Grandma
and Hulda all sent me a few lines at
about this time.
Potlatch, Enid, the sister who is
spending the winter in Cuba Social
Corner Reader, Keziah Doolittle, Chat
terboX, Faye Verna, Bright Ray,
Blanche, Silver Sixpence, Absent One
and Interested Reader, and any who
have sent me cards since last wrote
to The Corner. 1 thank you one and
all for your CHEEKY words and bright
pretty cards. 1t is very kind Of you
to think of me in this way.
I am always wide-awal1e when it is
time for the mail carrier and his COM
ing usually brings me something to
| think of and to make the day pass
pleasantly.
The Corner has been a blessing to
me- Many new and sincere friends
have been added to my list. Your
sympathy and aid from time to time
has been appreciated, and when I en-
deavor to thank you in written words.
fail to express myself as I would.
The words look cool and formal and
do not convey my deep and heartfelt
| thanks very plainly; but feel you will
understand and so all is well.
Married and Happy trust you are
better. You have my full sympathy in
your disappointment; and 1 think we
will agree. it is the hardest work one
can undertake to find the silver lin
| ing, or even to discern rays of light,
when the heavy black clouds hang
about ready to devour us. 1t is then
| our faith in both God and man is tried
to the utmost.
| It seems to me one must have love
| in their hearts or one could not have
| implicit trust and faith: and as Old
Sol says if we have faith we will not
| be idle, but will endeavor to work out
of our difficulties, for in the Holy
Bible it is written THAT God will help
those who help themselves" Let us
| then have faith to believe that if we
| do our best and trust. help will come
| to use in some form.
Best wishes for a happy Easter to
you all. DIANA.
