Y.M.B.C. Mardi Gras Ball Date Set,
Carnival Committee To Choose Court

Arrangements and plans are
well underway for the most elab-
crate Mardi Gras ball that has
ever been staged by the Moss
Point Young Mems Business Club,
which will be held at the 18th
street auditorium. Friday eve
ming, February g..
The Carnival balls were inaug-
Grated by the Young Mems Bus
mess Club of Moss Point in 1885,
in the belief that Jackson Coun-
ty should have some type of Car
nival celebration.
In order to guarantee the per-
manance of the affair, the club
stated that no expense or time
should be spared in the prepare
ton of these eoronations. The
club selected Friday night before
Mardi Gras, realizing the full inn
portance of Mardi Gras in Mo-
bile and New Orleans. Then, too,
the club felt that if it was to
emulate the traditional carnival
programs in a small way, the
names of the King and Queen
should be kept a secret.
In order to do this, the club
approached six people OF the
county. who were asked to act
as a secret committee in selecting
the King and Queen, and the
Dukes and Duchesses to attend
them. The committee has acted
for twelve years and the identity
of the members still remains a
secret.
This annual carnival ball has
grown into the largest social af-
fair of the year and the attend
anee has always been large and
most cosmopolitan, thus bringing
to Jackson county a true exempli-
~fication of the Mardi Gras spirit
which is traditional.
