ff. ' I 1 r I J . ! The May Festival Oh I mother, there were lots and lots of girls there, and they all had white dresses on except those that had pink, and some had their coats on, too. They let me carry the wreath on a white, shiny pillow. I guess it was silk, and it was made of violets-just lots of violets sewed 'round a hole to make a hat without any top in it. The queen wears it. You know the queen is the prettiest and nicest girl there, and she had violets sewed all round her dress, too, and it was long and white, and she had some more little children to hold up her train when she came down the steps. She looked awful pretty. I looked 'round to see if they were coming and my wreath fell down and all the girls laughed, but the queen didn'tg she picked it up and wasn't cross at all. I'd like to be a queen, but I can't, 'cause lim going to be a king. But I'm going to' marry a queen just like this one and I'm going to have a throne, too-that's what she sits on-underabig tree with lots and lots of pink flowers on it. Then when she got there the old queen-she isn't really old, only her dress wasn't so pretty- took my wreath and put it on the queen's head and kissed her. Then the new queen put a Wreath of forget-me-nots on the old queen's head. Another boy, who had a sailor suit with real anchors on it, had this wreath and he dropped it twice. . a Then everybody kissed the queen's hand. I-Ier eyes were all shiny like yours are sometimes, and I liked her awfully well. Then they had the May dance with lots of purple and white streamers, round a tree, and the girls wove them all in and out, and it looked awfully nice, only there was a big girl in front of me and I couldn't see very well. They kept kissing the queen's hand and seemed so sort of happy and glad. I should think they would be sorry they couldn't all he queens, but I guess they like the queen real well. Any- way, they all took her picture, and I was in it, too. They are going to send you one. Motfaer, I wish you would be a queen sometime, and me carry the wreath. I'd like to try it on, though I don't suppose kings wear 'em. -IVI. P. J. 31

A tiny patch, where the dimple plays At hide and seek with her rosy lips, To her gallant suitor fresh charm displays, As he kisses those dainty finger tips. The buckles flash from her slippered toe, As she poises there with stately grace, To make the curtsies sweeping low, That hide for a moment her dainty face. For such a maiden, who would not dare To take up arms and fight for fame, If only the honor she would share. And accept his offer of heart and name? A toast to the dame of long ago! To her we grant our highest praise, For Washiiigton himself, we know, Would share with her this day of days. -M. 30 1 f' v E.. i 1 i 'x 1 I' , x J X N J ,f lk XA N tix , i ax f iff X X,.z Q x X x KN lfi X- so J Q. ix X x fl H 7 t ,i if X X l l X f ' X l i I i il 3 i 1 R i i I l l ,Ak f I A , i T f fjifx Nl Xi X i l Q f r A X P.J.
