The most important part OF the
days proceedings. however. was the
raising Of the Maypole. which had
always been conveyed into the town
with elaborate ceremony. and the
townsfolk, young and old. devoted
themselves to the MayinR with gen.

was customary to have a king OF
May. as we'll as queen: but they
were very old days indeed, as the
following description will show The
May king. Robin Hood. was to have
baldrick Of blue tarantine silver
embroidered. The may queen. Maid
Marian. was to be habited in watchet-
colored tissue. and her two maidens
were to have white courtpies, with a
girdle Of silver bandikin: they were
to have tabards, or short jackets. with
girdies OF cloth OF silver"
When evening had arrived. and the
great bonfires were lighted. the queen
Of May who had presided over the
festal day. retired with her com
panions. giving place to the king OF
May, who conducted tho revel into
the wee sma' hours.
1t Is said on good authority that
King Henry the Eighth loved in his
younger days to rise with the sun on
May morning and, with jolly group
OF courtiers, fare forth into the woods

out and threw himself down on the
lawn to rest. Bruno came to him
and lay down also. Billy, thinking
that. Bruno would make a good pill
