with damp snow such a contest was

They aroused a degree of feeling
which had grown to outspoken,

gave two Virginians a shaking.
This ended the quarrel. The men

buked and the colonels of the regi-

There was no more sectional dis

Old New Orleans
Has Charm That
Is All It's Own

Prepared by National Geographic Society.
Washington, D. C.-WNU Service.
The celebration of Mardi Gras
with feasting and masking was in
troduced in America in 1902 by French
soldiers stationed near the present
site of Mobile, Ala.
In 1857 group of former resi-
dents of Mobile organized the first
Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans.
Ever since, Rex, king of the day,
glittering with jewels, and attended
by a sumptuOus court, has held brief
but glorious sway in that Old-world
city of the South.
The New Orleans of today is cap
tivating city of contrasts, revealing
each change in the kaleidoscope of
her history. The charm of old France

Overhanging the narrow streets are
balconies edged with delicate iron
tracery; and through shadOwy arch
ways one glimpses paved courts and
vine e-covered stairways.

when within space of three weeks,
New Orleans was the possession, first
of Spain. then France, and finally Of
the United States. Later Lafayette
used the Cabildo as residence, and
today it houses the Louisiana State
museum.
Despite thirty years of Spanish
domination, the citizens remained es-
sentially French; and after Ma
poleon's exile on st. Helena, they
formed an elaborate plot for his res
cue. Under the direction of Bous-
siere. a retired sea captain. the clip
per ship Seraphin was built and
equipped for the venture; but three
days before she planned to sail, the
news of Napoleon's death put a sud-
den end to the adventure.
Important as it is in history, the
Vieux Carre, Latin quarter of the
New world, occupies only a few
blocks in the city, which now covers
more than 200 square miles. A few
steps can carry one from the Eight
eenth to the Twentieth century ;
from walled court yards to a mod
ern metropolis. with wide, straight
boulevards, and impressive office
buildings. For New Orleans has a
practical as well as romantic side,
1t ranks as the second port in the
United States in volume of combined
exports and imports.
Situated on the old Spanish trail
between st. Augustine and San Diego,
New Orleans has always held a
strategic position. Today the Jeffer-
son highway from Winnipeg, and the
Colonial highway from New York,
both lead to its gates. When the in
ventiOn of the steamboat opened up
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
the city became the seaport for 49,
600 miles Of navigable waters, the
longest inland waterway in the world.
