'Fools by Other Names
Still as Foolish
On*April 1
At Blooming 'Glen, Pa., Ho
shangabEng, India; and Worsley,
England, there'll be April Fools
today. Of course, they'll go by
different nathes. In gay Paree
you'd be an April fish (poisson
d'avril). In Scotland you'd be an
April gowk (cuckoo).
The first April fool will never
be famous, for the origin of this
worldwide custom has never
been decided. A Jewish tradition
says April foolery descended
from the fruitless expedition of
the dove from Noah's ark one
April first. In India, April fool
pranks mark the end of the feast
of Hull.
ISOILe say it is a relic of the
Roman "Cerealia" held at the be
ginning of April. The tale is' that
ProSerina was sporting in the
Elysian meadows and had just
filled her lap with daffodils when
Pluto carried her off to the lower
world. Her mother, hearing her
voice, searched for 'her, but the
search was a "fool's errand." .
