CARNIVAL CELEBRATIONS

MERRY OBSERVANCES

PLANNED

3

Macao, Feb. 1. The forthcoming week will be period of rejoicing and merry-mak- ing, as, in keeping, with the custom of their Mollier Country, the local Portuguese community celebrate the annual Carnival.

This occasion is a survival in Latin. countries of the ancient Roman festival, Saturnalia, held in winter to commemorate the golden age under the god Saturn. The name carnivel implies the putting away of flesh. The season of festivity and frolic has always been held on the eve of Lent, and in some countries the revelries verged on riotousness,

In Macao, the Carnival has been cagerly looked forward to, and in all the schools the younger set welcome the holiday week with the jolliften- tions it affords.

Soon after the dinner hour of each Carnival night, the streets will be awake with the shouts of happy motley throngs gally dressed in the fantastic costumes of muskers. They will participate in the "tunas," bril- liant processions serenading their way through the streets with violins, mandolins, guitars, ukulele s and druma playing the sentimental Portu- guese "fooos" until they arrive for an "assalto" at one of the clubs gay with-festival-colours where they will mirthfully flock to song and dance. Prominent among the many styles of fancy dress will be the picturesque Barb of the country folk of distant Portugal.

Already there have been several practice dances and parades in order to ensure the success of this year's celebrations,

The Macao Lyceum will have their "asiallo" on February 5, and following four days will find the the carnival in full swing in the several clubs lasting each night until the Emall hours of the morning. Tho donces at the Macao Club and the Military Club will be held on Satur-
