IF you are a May child you shou'o
wear an Emerald for an old verse
y tells us:
"Who first beholds the light Of day
In springs sweet flowery mon-n o.
May,
And wears an emerald all her hfe.
Shall be a loved and happy wife.
This does not tell us anything apoo'
the little May boys. but suppose that
if the boys have an emerald IN ther
stick pins good luck will attend tnem'
too. The flower for May is the Haw-
thorne which stands for hope.

A man in the forest had a stone
weighing exactly 40 pounds. One day

to forty pounds. Into what weight
pieces did the stone break?

own him for pet.
AS spring rolled around, grandpa
thought about what pet they would
have ready for Tom every bit as much
as Tom himself thought about it. And
finally he and grandma decided on a
goose. A beautiful. big. white goose
with a gorgeous orange colored bill
and a very polite manner-for a
goose. They took the goose away from
the flock and let her live in the door

would get used to folks. and to be a
nice pet.
So that was how it happened that
as soon as Tom jumped out Of the car
that brought him from the train, a
great, beautiful white goose came
waddling up to meet him.
Tom was delighted-who wouldn't

May receives its name from the
Latin Maius. In the mythology OF
the Greeks Maia was supposed to be
the daughter of Atlas. the bearer OF
the world, and the mother of Mercury,
the swift footed messenger of the
Gods. Long ago the old Anglo
Saxons called this month three meo-
lee monath," which meant three-milk
month. as at this season their cows
were MIXED three times day.
Among the superstitions for May
are the following: II you were born
