SHROVE TUESDAY CARD
CARD PARTY AT
EPISCOPAL CHURCH
St. Peter's Auxiliary will have
its annual Shrove Tuesday card
party the evening of Tuesday,
February 17 at 8 o'clock in the
Parisli Hall at St. Peter's Episco
pal Church. The ladies wish to
remind their friends and mem
bers that this will be the last
party until after Easter.
The spirit of merriment at this
season of the year should not be
confined to New Orleans where
the festivities arc now in full
swing to be culminated in the
crowning of the carnival king
and queen on Mardi Gras Tues
day, February 17. This celebra
tion has a religious origin and it
is altogether fitting that it be ob
served by churches in our North
land. Mardi Gras, which literally
means Fat Tuesday, is the last
day of appropriate gaiety before
the beginning of the observance
of Lent on Wednesday. As the
bells toll the midnight hour in
New Orleans the merrymakers
will discard their customs and
all thought of frivolity as they
turn their steps toward their
churches to prepare for the
Lenten period.
St. Peter's Auxiliary invites
you to participate in the spirit of
Mardi Gras by coming to the
card party at the Parish Hall the
evening of Tuesday, February 17
at 8 o'clock.
