T* W irtz, Proprietor W h ic h u t |||| , An ancient custom which still ob tains In many villages In the south of France is a pretty variation of the choosing of the May queen with which we are so familiar. The mayor and six of his political officers choose from among the village maidens the most beautiful girl. As soon as the choice is made known the queen, dressed in white, even to a long white veil and a wreath of white roses, assembles with her parents and all the villagers In front of the mayor's house. Here he and six friends, dressed In frock coats and top hats, form In procession, the mayor and queen leading, and march to the church, whgre there is a short ceremony, They then irarch back to the may or’s house, where a favored few are entertained at luncheon. When he proposes her health be enumerates her virtues, kisses her on both cheeks and hands her an envelope which contains the prize, $200 In money. But the cere mony does not end here. They form In procession, the band leading this time, and In a sort of "follow my leader” game walk through the village, up lanes and over hills for three hours. That evening a ball is given at the Inn, where the queen dances first with the mayor and his six friends and after ward with the lads of the village, and so the celebration ends. The queen’s white veil, with the veil and wreath, are carefully folded away and are brought out again only when she be comes a bride. R o u g h o n t h e D o cto r.
