How These Customs Originated With the Romans Two Centuries B. C. and How They Are

Being Revived Today.

iHERE are certain days m the 1 May Pole and. dance

year wliich from time immemorial have, been the occasion for celebrations bavins some re

ligious or national or seasonal sirTnlficance. May day i3 partly religious and partly seasonal, or, rather it may b said that May first was selected as

a feast day because at that time of

the year a'.l nature Is budding with, new life and beauty affording: an appropriate season for expressing the joyousness of human nature in the hope that It will be inspired with thcfreshness srd invigorating: spirit which nature so jrlorlonsly and bounteously exhibits at that time. Festival Of Flora. Tlae actual basis for the May day festivities seems to ha.ve been the Roman Floralia celebrated from April 2 8 until May 3, and instituted it Rome In. the year 238. B. C. Flora, to whom th fesjtt was consecrated was likewise

s. fertility goddesa and it may be taken j People

for granted that the elements of her 1 rites, were similar to customs which i hail previously been associated with !

the festival of Mala. So lhe many of our feasts May festivities are. a survival of pa gran days. Even today In the north of England and In Sweden people rise shortly after midnight and walk to some neigrhborlr.ir wood, marching to the rvthm of music and after breaking

off tree branches return home nt day

around it par- i

landing It in f.owers. In the ancient ; days It was erected In a convenient 1 part of the village and consecrated to ; Flora the Goddess of Flowers. In ' Sweden the oxen were wreathed in ! garlands and driven in from the farms 1 to the pole, the boys and g'lrls danc- I ing about the animals as they lum- ( hered along the roads. Frerjuent'y there was a battle of flowers and the crowning: of a Queen of May. There ! was music; and feasting all day long-. . May Pay In England. While many of the countries celebrate! May day by erecting poles and i by dancing. England seems ,to have been the leader in establishing the , festival. In speaking of May in Eng- , land in 1623, a writer of that day fceraoans the fact that many of the

finest trees .were sacrificed for M.iy

The most famous English May Pole

was erected just after' the Restoration, when in 1661, the populace had a great May Day jollification by erecting a tall pole in the most conspicuous part of the Strand.. It was brought in from the country in triu.rn.ph, with music and drum' beating. It was raised by seamen who were sent for that purpose, by the Duke of York, and was decorated with gilt crowns. Authors frequently referred to It and in Pope's writing we find:, ""Where the tall May Pole once o'er'ooked the Strand." In the year 1713, the members of both Houses of Parliament went to Sh Paul's Cathedral to render tbanks for the Peace of Utrecht. On this occasion the orphans of London were seated on stands directly back of the Pole.

In Rome during the feast of Flora the most beautiful dances were executed by profe.sslonals who were gathered together from the different places of amusement and an day long various exhibitions were given. Many of the dancers represented certain flowers and formed enalns of human posies. In Holland, Germany, and England May Day dances were most-elaborate and rehearsals were held for weeks before the event, Robin Hood. Often plays were given In which dancing was the important part. During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries ln England the play of Robin Hood w as popular. This "was generallv held on a large green field roped

which were tuned in musical Intervals. During one part of the dance the men leaped over swords while the girls danced back and forth between ribbon streamers. At another time during the dance hobby horses were introduced. In the early days the Morris dancing on May Day was carried out with no little ceremony. While Royalty breakfasted about noon a boy would come into the room with his face blackened, his forehead bound with white and yeiiow bands and bells affixed to his ankles. The boy then proceeded to g -e a dance, the great feature of which was to strike the right and left heels upon the ground twice alternately and then both heels together to produce a jingling of bells. When he had finished, the Court went to the" veranda and watched the Morris dance on the green near the May Pole. A nword bearer usually accompanied the Morris dancers, holding a pound cake on the end of his sword. The cake was deftly sliced by tk dancers, great skill be'.ng required to rut off n even iA
