NOW MERRY MONTH OF MAY"
Sut IN Olden Days a Great Number
OF Superstitions Were Attach.i
to the Season.

Many superstitions we're held
IN regard to the month of MAY and
IL was held in olden days as peculiar
ly favorable for supernatural appear
ances. No one would marry in the
month OF May but in the first morn,
ing Of that month maidens rose
early to gather Maydew, which they
threw over their shoulders to propi-
tate fate in alloting them a good
husband. If they could succeed,
oy the way, IN catching a snail by
the horns and throwing it over their
shoulders, it was the omen of good
luck, and if the snail was placed
on slate, then likewise it would
describe by its turning the initials
OF the maiden's future husbands
name.
Anciently the month of May was
ushered III with many solemn rites.
and the first day had the name Of
"Beltane," the Detroit News states.
The 'Beltane time" was a season Of
bolstarous mirth and riotous festivi-
y. The mob elected "king and
queen of May" and dressed them
fantastically to preside over their
ceremonies.

ending is in sight.
