The girls have made little gar

selves. The aprons were made of
black sateen, trimmed in cretonne.
The bonnets were made of the
material like the apron trimmings.
Hangers for the aprons and stands
for the bonnets were made of
tinker toys.
The children had painted their
chairs and tables, and decorated
them with butterflies.

people in the villages looked for
ward each year to their May Day,

such a celebration.
What We Expect to See
On May Day
But what makes up May Day
celebration? What shall we see?
There viii be the Queen of the
May and all her attendants, girls

fortunes,-and bakers and pedders.
Six Little Geese
Will Take Part
Three large geese will parade
and one of them will bring her six
little baby geese. Six little lambs
will also have a part in the after
Moons merriment, and the milk

See what a May pole we have got;
Fine and gay,

Children in Worcestershire, Eng
