trophies of Savannah's skill in cook

was to be devoted to dancing, and the
fiddlers were already giving their in
struments premonitory twangs, to the
great delight of the arriving company.
Aunt Savannah and James moved
about among their guests, greeting
them with gracious and elaborate
speeches of welcome.
About the time when the guests be-
gan to arrive the train from Jackson
vile stopped at the little station, and
young colored woman alighted and
looked around. She was tall and thin
and wiry, with swapping black eyes
and vixenish expression. Walking
up to the baggage agent, she asked him

the bower, and Aunt Savannah and

The dignity Of some fat coachmen
In New York Is very impressive. Their
development is outlined distinctly by
their coats. They have swelled steadily
and persistently year after year. and
every now and then the coats have
been let out and the buttons moved to
accommodate increasing inches of
girth. A coachman's figure has a great
deal TO do with his success. The at
tempts OF fat men TO look lean some
times verge on the humorous. They
hold their heads high to escape the
imputatlon Of obesity and pun out their
chests hcroically. But with all their
