This is the season of the year when
the Philippines become the playground
for the entire orient. 1t is carnival
season in Manila.
In 1908 the first Philippine carnival
was held on historic Wallace Field in
Manila in February, when the climate
Of the islands is at its best, and each
succeeding year there has been a larg-
err and more elaborate celebration.
The 1920, or Victory Carnival, will be
the greatest event of its sort ever held
anywhere in the Far East.
There are commercial and govern
ment exhibits in connection with the
carnival, and on no other occasion is it
possible to gain at once such COM
prehensive idea of the production and

development of resources of the archi-
pelago as that which is offered the
visitor at the carnival city.
In the evenings the carnival becomes
the center of Philippine and oriental
social activity, A huge open air audi
forum serves for the elaborate nightly
balls, and on Its mammoth floor thou
sands of couples swing together to the
strains of music furnished by the IA
nous Constabulary and other military
bands. Probably at no other place in
the world will one see an equally i'm
pressive cosmopolitan spectacle.
The Manila visitor who can plan his
trip to arrive at the Pearl of the Orient
for carnival time may well deem him
self fortunate.
