daughter named Utsayantha, which means

This idea is my own, and possibly of
little value.
Anyhow, Utsayant q grew to be quite
comely, as Indian women GO. / never
saw one yet that couldn't stop al, ordinary

minutes. She dressed simply, wearing
the same clothes while oiling cross coun-

scalp dance the evening before. In sum-
mer time she shellacked herself and visited
the poor. Taking a little box of water
colors in a shawl strap, so that she could
change her clothes whenever she felt like
it, she would go away and be gone for a
fortnight at a time, visiting the ultra
fashionable people of her tribe.
Finally a white man penetrated this re-
gion. He did it by asking the brakeman
on the West Shore road how 10 get here
and then doing differently. In that way
he had no trouble at all. He saw Utsay-
antha and loved her almost instantly. She
was shocking a muskrat at the time, and
he could not but admire her dizziness and
skill. From that moment he could not
drive her image from his heart. He
sought her again and again to tell her of
his passion, but she would Jump the fence
and flee like q frighted faWn with a split
stick on its tail, if such q comparison may
be permitted. At last he won her, and
married her quietly in his working clothes.
The nearest justice Of the peace was then
in England, and so rather than wait he
wa married informally to Utsayantha by
repeating to her with great solemnity the

Especial correspondence of THE HERALD.
Standing before this old mansion on St.
Louis street, once the home of wealthy
Creole family, one realizes what changes
the years have wrought. Though now the
great double doors of the court yard are
battered and devoid of paint, there was a
time when, in opening, they afforded en-
chanting glimpses to the passer- by-vistas
of green, flowers in prodigal profusion,
bordering the tagged pavement; tropical
plants in tubs waving their broad leaves
with a rustling whisper; and fountain
that caught a thousand rainbows in its
leaving spray, falling again into the marble
basin with cool and pleasant sound.
With the closing Of those doors, you shut
out the vulgar noise and hurry of the busy
world. Within the mansion broad hall
led to the double parlors, furnished in ma
hogany in the massive style which suited
best those lofty and spacious apartments
The polished floors were reminiscent of
fair France, and the drawn shutters kept
out the glare of the sunshine, making a
pleasant dimness restful to the eye. There
was a kind Of stately simplicity observable
in the adornment of these rooms-hne
pictures, statuary and bronzes were there,
but none of the litter or bric-G brac and
cheap prettiness, superintendent cushions
and draperies, which are SO marked feat
ure of the modern drawing room. The
same severe elegance prevailed in all the
Furnishings of this old-time residence.
In the second story of the wing which ran
out at the back of the house were the com
Portable quarters of the slaves, and it may
DC mentioned in passing that fifteen SER
wants to attend upon a family or two OF
three was rather the rule than the excep-
ton. Below was the culinary domain,
shining with neatness, and no less daintily
cared for than the parlors.

This was the town house of rich Creole
who spent the gay season in New Orleans

temple of music, the old French opera
house on Orleans street, was crowded on
Questionable nights TO Its utmost capacity.
Hospitality was both duty and pleasure
in those days. Each family kept mp a run
nlng fire of entertainments, and among
neighbors there were many minor festiv-
tiles Of more informal character. The
stranger within their gates was made
royalty welcome. Everything was on a
lavish scale; "open house, was the rule;
and it was nothing uncommon for a large
family, of course aided by their numerous
guests, TO consume a cask of claret in a
week.

are further over-weighted for the reason
that they have generous objection to let
ting the women of their family work as
bread-winners and although the latter
may perform prodigies of economy, yet,
when there is only one wage Garner and
many dependents, the strain must peces-
sarily be severe. The sons Of the rich are
given university education and the choice
of q profession; whereas, commerce is the
resort of those upon whom the need of an
immediate income is pressing.
But society becomes more and more
Americanized each year and the differences
between the two races grow less. Studying
side by side in school and college, they have
learned to know and understand each other,
and reciprocal prejudices have vanished.

the children of such unions chattering

vice versa The happiest results may be
hoped for the grating of creole gayety and
grace upon American progresslveness and
clear common sense.
One of the most marked traits of the
Creole temperament is buoyancy. They
know how to enjoy. They carry lightly
that yoke of labor which seems to press so
heavily upon English speaking peoples:
The wisdom OF inhaling the perfume OF
the moment is known to them. They 40

crowd they are gay and good-natured.
Both men and maidens are passionately
fond of dancing, and even the warmest
weather does not make their enthusiasm
flag. The love of music is deep-rooted in
their natures; it is to be questioned
whether they could live without it. Poor,
indeed, must be that Creole who foregoes
the Sunday opera matinee, and no pinching
or stinting is deemed too severe if that
pleasure is in view.
In personal appearance the Creoles are

no positive beauty there is a symmetry
which is pleasing. Grotesaueness of form

wrists and ankles are almost unknown
among them. The men are usually good
looking, sometimes strikingly handsome, in
the brunette type, and, though short of
stature, they are broad shouldered and
muscular. At her best the Creole girl is

When the young Creoles returned from
war they found society disorganized. 1t
was a new and strange order they were
forced to confront. and, be it said in their
honor, they met it like men. Face to face
with poverty, often with widowed mothers
and orphaned sisters depending upon them,
they were obliged to take the first position

Energy and ambition did not allow them
