softie researchers 'originated int the
Iiiracle pllays of the Middle Ages—
those in which Christ was shown as
being, at this season, sent from Annas
to Saipleas, acid from Pilate to Herod.
Others trace this custom to very early
times atnong t•he Hindus, %Vito, to this
day indulge in jokes similar to our
April It ones on the last day of
March, when is he-ld what is kllOWIl
11 the liedi Festival.
Be its origin what it may, the cue-
otn is widespread and shows no sign
of abating. Of Course, With us, the
term used to designate the untuoky
me is "April :Fool," In !France, the
person tricked is dubbed a "Silly
Fish", while the Scotsman who has
fallen into the snare set for him is
derisively hailed as a "tlowk". And
is 33 and industrious. Between
(-kisses at Western ;Resenve !Uaivers-
ity he ran a supper club in a -Cleve-
land hotel, wrote a society column,
bought and sold secondhand clothes,
and rented bicycles. Later, it was he
who persuaded the New II -I -even Rail-
road to put Len those week -end cycle
trains -with cycles, by Peckham.
\\*hen he came. to New York to
meke his ;fortune, various jobs with a
small salary was the best he could
do, Then one night, on 'Fifth :Avenue,
listening to the dance music in a hotel
and wishing he were inside, he got
ltis big idea—that \Witten' alone itta
great city need help itul <lee tile sight,
and night life. "I went to the leading
hotel, with the idea." Peckham said.
"They ate it up. One of their great-
est problems is tvomen guests who very merry. Anueng other tricks,
there did come a blind fiddler to the
door, and Sir G. Carteret slid go to
the door, and lead the [thud tiddler by
the hand in." "lAenong other tricks",
inarke you, says the inimitable Pepys,
sotve feel at liberty to imagine !him
as giving ,full play to his 'fancy tvith
the company present, and laughing so
uproariously that he was in danger of
,lielieveling his peri tiltg. Indeed, some-
thing like this must have happened,
for ,five days later he records that he
went to his :barber's, one named _Ter-
ns, for this very article of adornment.
"which was mending there."
,No -doubt during the stern and sol-
emn days of the Cromwell regime,
this April fooling business wits frown-
ed upon and fell into desuetude, but
it is incenceivable that the reign of
the \terry alonarch never witnessed
