THE MESSAGE OF MUSIC.
What's that the fiddle's sayin' which
the others never hear?
Somethin' that's a-hoverin' betwixt a
smile an' tear!
Somethin' of the past time the
shadow an' the beam,
An' I hear it for the last time in a
dream in a dream!
"The old lads are weary
Youth must have a chance;
Too old to dance now
Too old to dance!"
On merry nights I hear it from my
chimney-corner place;
Jtosy cheeks aroun' me, with the
dimples in a race!
An' I seem to feel their freshness
a breath of golden curls,
As movln' to the music they swing
the sweetheart-girls!
"The old lads are lonesome
Youth must have a chance;
Too old to dan"o now
Too old to dance!"
That's how the fiddle's singin' in a
tune to them unknown
A sort of farewell message to the
heart of me alone!
"You've reaped the youth-time roses
you've had your day and
time;
The twilight round you closes, where
bells of Mem'ry chime
"The old lads are lonesome
Youth must have a chance;
Too old to dance now
Too old to dance!"
FRANK L. STANTON.
DURING THE COMING MONTH
spring festivities will be at
their height. Picnics, spring
festivals and al fresco gatherings ot
all descriptions have been the espe
cial prerogative of the "Merry
month of May" for many centuries.
England perhaps lias contributed
the greatest amount of quaint folk
lore and customs for the "month of
Mary" as It is called in Catholic
countries" for it is quito the pleaa
nntest month of the year in that
climate.
May day or May first, according to
ancient legendary history, dating
from the time of the Roman Invasion
of Britain, was the signal of the ar
rival of spring and win inn "'-"'i iv
pleasure parties who went a-Marylng
in the early dawn, returning ....
tho may-polo and laden with spring
blossoms and brandies of hawthorn.
One o:d English writer describes the
custom something llko tills.
"In tho month of May the city of
London and nil estates generally
did fetch their May-poles with
devices for pastime, all day long
aivhers, nioniee dancers, nnd other
d vices for pasttime, nil day long
and towards evening they had stage
phiys and bonfires in the streets."
A part of this celebration exists
at tho present day and American as
well as English children enjoy tho
May polo dnnco presided over by the
ciistomnry "Queen o' tho May." Tho
Qucon of the .May of Morrle England
w.is not alone In her reign as is tho
present dny sovereign. Sho was as
sisted by a May-lord who presided
over the gnmes and rural sports and
often neteil as court Jester as well.
Tho May-garlanil was another ,
quaint custom from which has devol-'
oped tho modem Idea of May has-1
kets, the delight of children, who I
ring tho bell and run away, leaving
a bit of spring on tho door step, i
Tho garland was a largo wreath of
flowers carried from house to house
by two children on May day ove.
Many flowers have taken their
names from this month. Tho flow
ering splrea is Italian May; tho
marsh marigold has the unouphont
o u mimo of Hay-blob, tha hawth-
V H 1
8Sb" --S ftfff
orne Is the May-bloom and the May
lily Is the Hly-of-the-valley. ,
That the feminine traits of the '
dwys of the "good queen Bess" were
not widely different from present day
traits is set forth in the
favorite
beauty cure of the time.
"The maids of England were wont
to steal away at early dawn on May
dt.y morn to bathe their faces in the
soft May dew, a sure preservative
of beauty."
To the modern hostess May offers
manifold opportunities for original
ity in entertaining. While supersti
tion still taboos the month as an
auspicious one for weddings, there
are countless festivities which may
precede the nuptials to take place
in June, the month of brides and
roses.
Fruit blossoms, early roses and
other garden flowers may be supple
mented In decorations by dogwood
and pink rhododendrons which will
soon cover the hills with their rosy
glow.
For a pink and white luncheon
the following menu might be varied
to suit the needs of the May hos
tess: Fruit Cocktail
Cream of Tomato Soup, Salt Wafers
Halibut Steaks
New Potatoes Radishes
Tomato and Asparagus Salad
Rolls
Strawberries and Cream
Strawberry Ice Cream
White Frosted Cakes
Coffee
For a green and white luncheon
this might offer suggestions:
Cream of Pea Puree
Creamed Chicken or Creamed Crab
Green Peas, or Artichokes
Potato Croquettes
Stuffed Eggs on Lettuce Leaves
Lettuce Sandwiches
Pistachio Ice Cream Angel Cake
Coffee
For a pink luncheon the creamed
chicken or crab could be garnished
w:h pimentos, for the green color
scheme, with parsley.
Menus for a yellow and white
luncheon, a lavender and white or
oilier color ideas are easily con
structed with the aid of the cook
book and a knowledge of what the
market can supply; and as this
mode of entertaining Is becoming
more popular every day the hostess
will feel herself well repaid for her
trouble by the enjoyment of her
guests in the novelty.
A miniature May pole would make
a charming center piece for the
luncheon table and favors might be
tinv may baskets of the favorite
mint, wlntorgreen or pistachio
wafers.

tins and Mrs. John Prouss entertain
