well III May LAY tOudys Inc
Russkis are marching in Red
Square and all they'll probably
ever get out of it is aching backs
and sore feet.
But May Day has its bright as
poets too. l can remember pick
ing a big bouquet of May flowers
on the eve of May Day in a big
wooded lot over back of our place
and hiding it in a screened bucket
in the garage. One thing my Nom
could depend on was a rather sog-
gy bunch of May Flowers, and all
my love of course.
Then Grandmom told US how
that bathing in dew on May morn
at dawning would make a raving
beauty of anyone. 1t was even
supposed to be a sure cure for
freckles. So at the peep of dawn
I sneaked out into the garden,
and who do you suppose / surpris-
ed out there? Sopping up the dew
too, none other than Nom and
Grandmom. An women. the
search for beauty knows no age,
although l never personally
thought my Nom needed any aid
to her beauty. She was and is the
prettiest woman ! know. I'll bet
you feel that way about your Nom
too.
Well It's May first again, and
although you might not have
found enough dew this morning to
battle in, you are probably out
searching for beauty. and quite
few other things to boot. So let's
see what shop hopping viii turn

were really peeping. Grandmom
used to claim that rhubarb was
the very best kind Of Spring Tonic
there was. It sort of took the
place Of sulphur and mclasses
