The Woman and The Puppet begins: The Carnival in Spain does not end at 8 o�������clock in the morning on Ash-Wednesday, as it does in other countries. The stern call of penance of the Church memento quia pulvis es (remember that thou art dust) does not influence the riotous gayety of Sevilla for more than four days, and on the first Sunday in Lent, the Carnival is revived with renewed vigor.
