■‘O, thou merry month complete MAY... thy very name is sweet!” THIS being May, we’d like to drop back through history a few hundred years and see the May-pole which James II (then the Prince of Wales) caused to be erected in The Strand, London. The king wanted a kingly May-p01e... a big one! So the topmost tuft of flowers and ribbons waved from a shaft ten stories high! t But the part we like best about old May Day customs I was bringing in the haw thorn blossoms. The young folks did this; starting off “a-Maying” early in the morning through every country lane, they brought back enough branches to deck every house in the village. I There’s something about this Maytime that makes us long to bring the Spring indoors. Have you thought yet about crisp ruffled curtains and cool, flower-shaded slip-covers and thin summer rugs, for your own rooms? A cotton bedspread is new pleasure, and just slipping I your pillow s into print and gingham covers cheers up the indoor atmosphere. Saves fine fabrics from dust and fading too. So it’s pleasant to change dress indoors for Summer and thrifty to take advantage of the many special offerings in the advertisements. The stores have many fresh novel new things for Spring and prices are surprisingly low.
