+ With a real May day of sunshine and
Sueet airs, the Maypole dance yester-
I ~ afternoon at the Regimental arm
4 ~ was as pretty an affair as one
4 o,ld wish to see. Soon after the doors
ore opened the little folks began to
rive. arrayed in the freshest of sum
L. frocks, befrilled and beribboned.
4 5ere and there they futtered over the
ssun. never a minute still, except
hen they were about the serious bust
ess of ice cream eating-seated then
sedate row against the high fence,
Ringing their slippered feet in SUI
RENE content. While the voting con-
Isl was i'm progress, there were ring
ssmes for the very little folks and
EARNING sight they made in a big
fraving circle, their clear baby voices
Esing unsteady on the quiet air.
4 About 6 o'clock, after the small caVa-
siars had all been chosen, the younger
Children gathered around the Maypole
H. the dance The bright-colored
Etreamers were pretty enough to please
Ven grown-up taste and no wonder the
children grew round-eyed with delight
l. they circled about, in and out, not
rstting very much mixed as they hrst
hound and then unwound the rlo-
L. There was great excitement as
Who might be chosen May queen,
IA one very diminutive maiden was
I'd to observe that she did hope she
o,II5 he queen as she didn't want to
