May day." as all children shoals
know. Is the very first day Of IL
month. 1t is an English holiday.
and is always celebrated IN Eng
land with flowers and = May pole
dance.
This May day Ruth and her littIe
friends were going to the park tor
the May pole dance. On the WY
they passed the house where the
little blind girl, Janice. lived.
How wish she could 20 with
us!" said Ruth.
But she couldn't see." argued
another little girl. And we would
have to lead her around"
But an idea had popped into
Ruth's curly head. She would 60
back and get Janice--the other chill
dren might go on.
After the first song had been
sung Ruth felt repaid for having
lost her place in the dance by hear
ing Janice exclaim: why. 1t ID
just like heaven! The little girls
must be as pretty as angels In their
white dresses. But you are the
fairy queen, Ruth"
Here, coming toward them at the
same time were two of the teach
ers, followed by the children. In
their hands they carried . wreath
of flowers, which they placed on
Ruth's head.
She had been chosen May queen!
As she was led to the throne, one
of ehteachers threw q garland OF
flowers about the smiling Janice
and guided her to her place as one
of the maids of honor.
