Mardi Gras festivities, with their mid-day and nocturnal pageants surpassing anything of the kind, will this year be a feature of the winter, and the pen fails to describe their splendor. While all the country north of the Tennessee river is locked in ice its trees leafless and its homes stormed by fierce arctic winds, New Orleans smiles through the green Of orange and magnolia trees. Her gardens are bright and Odorous with flowers; the streets are filled with loungers and sight-seers; all the Open-air resorts are crowded; there is a busy hum of gaiety and music and laughter everywhere.
