®OOET¥ EBJTES By AMY CRttfflML Z?gzJ Who is the queen of the carnival? This is the question that is agitating the entire society set of San Antonio. The queen was elected yesterday at a sc ret nieeting'tf the Order of the Al amo, but her name will not be made known until the night of April 20. The fair queen, described as one of the most beautiful women in San An tonio, will be the center of all the so cial attractions of the carnival. She will be crowned queen of the carnival in Beethoven hall. Of course, the fortunate candidate who was elected has been notified, for she must prepare now for the courtly i duties that will be attached to her high office. But she has been pledged to absolute secrecy and it is believed that in this ease, even a woman can keep a Bec ret. Everyone in San Antonio today, af ter they read The Light and Gazette, will be inquiring about the queen of the carnival and making guesses who she may,be. The odds in some dainty little wagers are being placed on a very well known society belle who is especially popular with the younger set. At the same time, as there were several Btrojig candidates in the field, there is '''’ . ’ ’ ) Second Week of Great Sale OF - Ladies’ Suits j Choice new styles for Spring—made of I best fabrics, in the most desirable shades.

Spring Opening, Saturday, March 19 MENTER & o oM 225 E. Houston St. Open Saturday and Monday Evenings. FRIDAY, great doubt who was elected and the guesses are well distributed. With the queen elected, tjie real work of preparing the social features of the carnival is now well under way. The | program of fun and merriment is being outlined in detail and is being prepared by enthusiastic committees. The campaign for the collection of $15,000 for expenses is progressing sat i isfactorily in everv wav. I Miss Clara Hicks, an attractive hos tess of the younger set, entertained with a cleverly planned St. Patrick’s party this afternoon at the homo of her parents, Dr. and Mrs, F. M. Hicks, on Main avenue. The. reception suite was into a bower of shamrocks. Garlands of the emblem were strung from the chandelier to the corners of the room, and caught with crossed pipes. The cur tains were festooned with the shamrock i and little green clay pigs were in every conceivable place. Irish flags crossed over the doorways and windows added another symbol to the decorations. Ferns and palms in wrought brass jar- i dinieres were used to form a wains coting, and white spirea with the i American shamrock, the Oxalis, were banked on the mantel. Handsome I brass candlesticks of wrought brass , held green tapers, which filtered ’ through shades of green. These were j placed among the palms and ferns and • | were on the side tables. A potato race caused much merri- 1 ment as did the hunting contest. Large pink roses, with fortunes concealed in , the heart of the flower, were hidden, land each guest was given a certain . length of time to find her fortune. The horseshoe gave hopes of a lucky mar riage, the gold heart would surely bring a wealthy marriage and thq red j heart was a sure sigu for a happv mar- * riage. A guessing contest was another inter .I' I esting diversion. A fortune contest was the last. Each j guest was blindfolded and dropped a ! ' ‘ silver ring over one of the four green i, i candles that were on a stand. Each , * one meant some fortune. The tiny green silk shamrocks, with ' tinier pipes were in the cakes, and the ; favors were miniature green hats fill- ! ed with green and white candies. j Punch and candies were served ■ ’ throughout the afternoon. !
