'Hends and romance weaves a sub-
tle spell. It is the season of Joy
and revelry.
In night clubs and private homes
there are gala festivities. In
every town, large and small, there
ar* native dances, balls, rintrioate
fireworks, parades, .special cere-
monies and rodeos.
Mexico City, as the nation's
capltftl, 'ls the center of elaborate
and lively fun-making. The mer-
ry-making, however, 1s especial
animated at the colorful port towns
of Mazatlan Manzanillo, Acapuloo
and Vera Cruz.
The Verqcruzanas are muy
alegres and go in for fiestas of 1
many kinds. Above all they love.l
tt> dance, whether the .musicians
»trike up one of the torrid hot-
count^y tunes, a waltz, a danzdnT
therjarabe tapatio, a paso double
or American "swing.”
In Taxco, former silver center
.New Spain and now a tourist
meeca, the carnival is pure Indian
and held in the chapel of La
Chavarriita.
The festivities are witnessed by
a large colony of Americans, most
of them permanent residents and
engaged in the fine arts, such as
painting, sculpture or the metal
crafts. \
One of the most Interesting of
the rural carnival celebrations
takes place at Huejotzingo,' a pfc-.
turesque little village just an
hour’s drive from Mexico City on
the Pu*>la highway. There sev-
eral hundred Inhabitants' erect a i
three-day drama whose setting is
the entire village.

The drama lasts for three days,
with time out for sleeping, eating
drinking and talking. Visitors are
usually thrilled by the spectacle,
although they generally find the

mise by driving out for the morn-
ing or afternoon.
Fortunately, it doesn’t make |
much difference when one comes
in. Tne actors, who never seem
to tire, keep a continuous show
going, and at Huejotzingo the gla-
mor and spectacle, not the plot,
is the thing.
