Mr.. Buist has succeeded in changing the
familiar old red of the neighborhood into
a pretty green. Just around the building
he has small beds tastily arranged with
flowers, and at present he is setting out
shade trees which will, in few years,
change the old fields, as they were
few years since, into pretty park. All
the place needs now to make it perfect, is
nice brick building about 200 feet front,
with All ell same length, three stories high,
and furnished so as to accommodate 300

THE OLD VIRGINIA REEL.

In the dreamy autumn cleaning, when the
hre begins to sing.
And look between the ivies that above m,
cabin cling
Al my lonesome little garden. where the
ruined roses lie,
Like heap OF tattered beggars fallen In the
weeds to die;
And the chilly wind comes droning round
the chimney and the caves
And along the narrow pathway drives the
weird and withersd leaves.
And the crazy mill is silent. and a mist hangs
o'er the wheel.
Then seem to hear the music OF an old vir-
Yinia reel.
Very sweet and very merry. very faint and
far away.
Now hear the ancient fiddlers on the strings
begin to play.
Keeping time with swaying bodies and a
kind of muttered Groom.
Till q host of dainty slippers follow TO the
dear old tune.
There Ia Mistress Jenny Weaver In her gown
of yellow silk,
with the crimson coral shining on her neck
and arms OF milk:
Even Lady Betty Fairfax deigns TO tap a
scarlet heel
To the merry merry music of the old Vir-
ginia reel.
Lady Betty. Lady Betty. all your pride is
dust and mold.
For the worms have bred and nested In your
locks of paly gold.
Mistress Jenny. with your laughter. and
your ribbons, and your beaux.
And the hearts that you have broken-you
are dead as yonder rose.
1 alone am left to mourn ye. poor and palsicd.
bent and gray.
Mumbiing of the vanished gIories and the
joys of yesterday,
when had a gallant lover. and my heart To
him was isai
And we gaiiy danced together In the old vir-
giniA reei.
Ali the Instruments are shattered. and the
strings are snapped in twain.
And the fsddlcrs have forgotten and VIII

SHIFTS OF A RESTAURANT MAN

shown by the shifts to which one who
has lately joined their ranks is resort

had n large house on his hands, and not
finding dodgers sufficiently profitable,
decided to start high-class restaurant.
He began by furnishing the second
floor in fine style. and offering the
best French cuisine and fine wines AT
SIPS. His average was two customers
nightly. one of whom ate on credit.
After about two weeks of weary wait
ing he decided that he had been too ann
bilious, and removing his tables and
few appointments one floor down, he
put out sign offering IAN excellent
dinner with wine" for as cents. -Four
customers came the first night and
three the second. After that the reg
ular attendance was two, the same in
dividuals as before. But the would-be
caterer was not beaten.
'One must begin at the bottom" he
reasoned, and decided ON another
change,
The tables and appointments we're re
moved To the basement and a new sign
put out. II ran: "a good dinner with
an excellent cup of coffee, % cents. .
But basement cafes are viewed with dis
favor in his part of town. The one
paying customer deserted him. and his
place WIS filed by n tramp who asked
for charity and quarreled abon, what
was scrsed. Not even yet would the
proprietor give in.
"My place is not yet known" he said
81 must show people that ! have a
large and fashionable clientele"
So he bade all his family array them
selves in their Sunday best aud dis.
tribute themselves nightly about the

is the custom of the tribe to celebrate
the event by ceremony lasting ten
days, called the flower dance. This
ceremony is conducted by the wom-

at the beginning by only a few other
Indians But the interest increases
from day to day, and by the end Of the
tenth day the whole population has
swarlned shc.<cene of the dance.
e. Each morning about sunrise the girl
rises from her couch. and. modes.ly
hanging her head because of the spee-
talors, she runs down TO a point where
a shallow margin OF the river laps over
a bss.pf pebbles. She is clad ina bark
skirt hanging from her waist 10 her
knees Her breast and shoulders are
striped with red paint. She takes up
water in her palms and dashes il upon
her shoulders. She then heaps up
small mound OF bowlders as a kind of
tally of the number of times she goes TO
the water, after which she ru-t back to
her lodge. During the rest of the time
she stays indoors keeping her head Gov
cred with shawl or blanket. She is
attended day and night by old wom-
en- who Groom a song and keep M u
constant clatter with the long. slender
prongs of painted dance sticks. to keep
away thoughts OF sickness or death or
other evil fortune. Whatever evil she
thinks of now viii follow her footsteps
