as If they were the towers Of Babylon"
said rhyme of 1916. This is the one
attempt on record to establish generally
May day observances in the New Eng
land states.
Today scattered throughout the
United States there is an appreciable
number of communities striving to re-
vive these pretty customs. Not a
few of the women's colleges, the semi
naries and the public schools have lent
a helping hand in the effort. Bryn
Mawr. the college for women, offers
one of the most successful instances
of these. Here the prettiest of the
quaint old ceremonies are carried out
in all their pleasing detail.
California has a striking example Of
public school interest at San Jose,
where the participants are from the
highest to the lowest members of the
school. The queen comes from the
ranks of the grammar grades.
Along the Pacific coast, where winter
on the eastern shore. there has been
a movement to install these rural
sports, and last May day several Of the
towns of California, Oregon and
Washington proffered some very happy
greetings to returning spring.
Perhaps the best place In America
to view May day festivities in all their
simple English beauty may be found in
the little town of Wellsville. in the
northern part of Utah, where the Nor
mon inhabitants are largely of old Eng
lish stock. Here so elaborate are the
ceremonies and so faithful is the re-
production Of the salient points Of
ancient forms that the stranger priv
