At every four verses there is a religious hush, the hobby horac bows down, the "teazer" with his club bows down, the dancers bow down and the tune changes to a wailing tune half pagan and half plainsong.
Then up springs the horse, up springs the teazer, up spring the dancers and the morning song is resumed.

But England herself has her May ceremonies. The ghosts that haunt weils, made holy long before Christianity came to Eng- land, have to be propitiated. Thère are the ceremonies of well-dressing-notably at Tis-4 sington in Derbyshire--where the holy well is decorated so that it looks like some gilded shrine
in a Continental church,”
Christianity has set its up- proval on this ceremony, and you may see religious texts in flaring colours, worked into the decoration of dressed wells.
The most sinister May cere- mony occurs at Knutsford, where there is a Jack-in-the- Green. This is a man in a wic- ker arrangement of
green
boughs. It has been suggested that he is a survival of the Druid worship. The Druids used to stuff a wicker cage with humans and set a light to it.

Convoyed By British Warships To France
La Rochelle, May 7. The liner Habana, with Spanish
refugees, mostly children, has arrived at Perthud d'Anthioche, near La Police, where she is due to disembark 800 souls.
From Bilbao it is learned that 2,300 children took a last look at their tragle homeland when they salled aboard the Habana and the trawler Golzeko Izarra, under the protective guris of forts and war-
ships.
The battleship H.M.S. Royal Oak and two British · destroyers met the steamers at the three-mile limit where the refugee ships hoisted the British Ang. The warships convoyed them towards the coast of France.
On the decks at Port San Turca mothers and fathers waited all night to bid their children good-bye. Red Cross nurses and swarthy carrn- bineers supervised the evacuation.-- United Press.
