Yankee Girl and Gallant Frenchman

Boston Gazette.
A young American girl Of a Western city
arrived in Paris one morning last week, and,
leaving her baggage at the station, went on
shopping tour in one of the big shops. She
was much annoyed she says, by a gentle
manly beau garcon," who. after jostliHg her
rudely several times, apoliogized with moro
about to pay for her purchases, she discov-
cred that her purse, containing 800 francs and
her baggage checks, had disappeared At the
railway station she was told that a young
man had Just taken away the trunks. She
rushed to her hotel and found her two trunks
empty, save for a courteous little note In
which the writer thanked dear MadeT2oiselle
and wished to assure her of his undying ad-
miration of her charms. He would add, IL
he might be permitted, a little word OF warn
ing against the gallant Frenchman who fol-
lows the pretty women, and ventured to trust
that she would soon refill her trunks

For a month before The May parties
begin there is a stir in the society OF the
schools. May parties are forming,
teachers are being enlisted to escort
them to the park, menus are being
planned and the programme is being
made out for the May party. Never is
this festal gathering an impromptu
one. and net even the coronation of the
Car has been rehearsed ofteDer.
The May party that is best liked by
the Board Of Education is an instruct
ing one. and as this is the most inter
esting party that can be planned, most
of the Maying parties are conducted on
this scheme. Il is rather expensive.

Fer the instructive May party per-

Court of Marie Antoinette is specially
liked. though Tor what reason is not
known. unless it be that the Queen was
a very beautiful woman, and young pso-
pie have an distinctive taste for the
lovely.

ones of wealth are delighted to get into
the green acres and scamper around.
They are the first to raise the May-pole,
which, all wound with ribbons, is part
OF every May party, and though they
may not be allowed to parade the

many tune to be heard among the
parties Many of the weather. CT the
children get up whole May parties OF
their own, providing the collation. and
bringing all the party-subjects, King,
Queen and ALTO the grounds. In a
gaily-trimmed cart come the musicians
who are often the best Of professionals,
disguised and trimmed with flowers to
look like d boy orchestra.
In regions where fruit is generous in
May the May party becomes a festival
Of fruit as well as flowers. The wagons
are laden with it; and the Queen sits
upon mound Of oranges, with apples
and pears and bread fruits forming a
great throne. The May party is not a
circumscribed thing drawn round and
round with conventional letters. 1t is
a spring ceremony capable of wide va
ration and Interpretation.
In the fairy tales il was during the
first nights of May that the gnomes and
fairy queens came out to dance under
the trees. Their dance, moonlight one
tradition. there are many lawn dances
given in May upon private grounds by
young people, who have been waiting
three months to get out Of doors into
the warm air again. These dances are
like the gay May parties with the
grown-up elemnt curiously merged into
youthful features. The browning of a
queen. the singing of songs and the
spread under the trees is the same.
The May party is one of the most or
namental of all features OF town life.
Decoration Day has a touch Of the
ceremonies about it and a touch of
that which is sad. But the May party
is as lively as Paris carnival. with
the perpetual youth Of the true Ameri-
can brought out prominently.
