l shall enjoy the new leaf turning with
my neighbors exceedingly"
This information was what Mrs. Gold
waite had talked philanthropy Tor two full
hours for, and she took her leave, feeling
that she was heroine of the first water.
But Mrs Berrie accompanied her Gale.
to the front gate in her eagerness to talk
more about the movement" at is to
elevate the toilers, l understand" she
said, ''and to get in touch with our poorer
neighbors?"
Yes" answered Mrs. Goldwaite, hest
tating to break up her luxurious New
Years dream by humping against the in
trusive fact that washwomen and ditch
diggers occupied the same planet together
with the "frsts"
Eyes" she repeated, "and when we or
game you will accept the presidency"
and she got up an interested look, almost
as good as the genuine.
Certainly" was the reply 81 thank
you for the honor" and Mrs. John Berrie
pressed the callers hand fervently.
The delegate was not very favorably in
fuenced with the young wife's enthusiasm
over the question, and the pressure of her
hand chilled, rather than thrilled, her
festive heart.
But one consoling thought ran through
it all: they never would ''organize." 1t
was only subterfuge to nose out some
thing more substantial.
Mrs. Goldwaite tripped along to the
turning, where she met Mrs. Wilton, who
refined in her ponies to ask breathlessly:
Did you find out?"
40 be sure; it takes me to find out, ="
and she tossed her head in triumph
"They will have the dinner as usual. But
Mrs Berrie, not being acquainted, could
not write the invitations alone; and Mr.
Berre could not help her until to-day"
80, yes!" cried Mrs. Wilton, that ac-
counts for it all. Well, We are ready and
Will be delighted to help turn the new
leaf this year, because of the sweet
hostess"
''She was wonderfully elated, though,
over the philanthropic work, and Mrs.
Goldwaite rolled up her eyes in mock
seriousness. Both ladies gigged and

dinner-party had been arranged for, at
Mrs. Goldwaite's, for three solid reasons.
FIRST, to air their new toilettes; second,
to soothe one another in their common
grievance, and third, the Goldwaite cot
tage was so situated that they could cas-
lily see the coarse tide of the ''seconds"-
and possibly the "thirds"-how to the
farms.
Punctually at the appointed time the
outraged upper current gathered at the
appointed place to see the outrageous un-
der current set toward the philanthropio
president.
By three o'clock all the INDECENT but re-
spectacle people of the neighborhood had
gone by in their Sunday best. =
Onions and sauerkrautl" drawled NJ
Wilton, as German family passed one
foot.
Our white necktie brigade" comment
ed another first, as the pastor of poor
church, mile away, and the superinten-
dent of its Sunday school, together with
dozen scholars, went by in a double
sleigh. And the 'frsts" rustled their
silks and smiled in aristocratic contempt
Before the Goldwaite party broke up,
however, messenger from the Farms
bowed himself into their midst and out
again, leaving the hostess looking sus-
piciously at a message in her hand, with
the army coat blazed onto the corner"
as Mrs, Meigs would have Said. She
glanced timidly around the expectant
circle and finally drew forth a daintly
perfumed note and read:
"A very happy New Year to ALL 1t
has occurred to us, dear people, that you
may not have comprehended our motive
in bidding our guests for the day. As
We all are interested in philanthropic
work, We will be understood when we
say, the new leaf We turned is very time
ly and beautiful, and has made many
hearts happy. Husband and | turned the
leaf suggested by Luke, the beloved physi-
can. We knew you were all well able to
return the compliment, and so we babe
those who could not recompense us
I'VE extend greetings and desire that
you all rejoice with us. Mr.. and Mrs.
John Berrie Shelly Farms"
The ''hrsts' looked soberly at each
other; the spirit of the note touched the
good in them and the new dinner dresses
were, for the time, forgotten.
YES" they said, "the whole neighbor-
hood has enjoyed a Happy New Year to-
day. Surely it is a pleasant new leaf"
But the philanthropic society has never
been organized, although the prospective
president is ready and waiting

She dressed finer than his first wife
did-most second wives do-she spent more
hours at the piano, and seemed several
degrees more aristocratic than the first
Mrs Berrie.
1t was an honored custom, reaching
back to the stouter branches of the an
cestral tree, for the owner of the Farms
to give New Years dinner to the coun-
tryside; and each guest was invited to
come and turn a new leaf for yearly
luck
OF course, it was the "frsts," and not
the seconds or thirds" as the ship
pers say, who enjoyed these annual feasts
and, usually, they began several weeks
before to plan what to wear" This year
it seemed a necessity to be a little more
particular about the cut OF gowns and
width Of trimmings, for the new Mrs.
Berrie was a lady of means in her own
right, and dressed deliberately.
I'VE must make an impression" said
Mrs. Wilton, decisively, and she must
feel that our presence is an honor to the
Farms. | intend to have a new silk; a
regular dinner party dress"
And so the "firsts' planned to sur
pass all former efforts, for the sake of
profound impression; therefore, by the
middle Of December a score of lovely new
gowns were the pride of as many ambi-
tIous feminine owners.
The mistress Of Shelly Farms was af-
fable and gracious to all, and the tony
'frsts' were just dying to display their
rich costumes in her honor. But for
some unaccountable reason the invitations
were tardy.
Could it be possible that the second wife
was one Of those new women, who would,
at one fell swoop, eliminate the annual
dinner? And would John Berrie stand
! that?
In sheer desperation of suspense, Mrs.
Goldwaite was delegated to call at the
Farms, ostensibly to speak of a philan-
thropic movement, but really to scent the
! New Year festivities and overdue cards.
Mrs. Berrie received her visitor very
courteously and pleasantly, and supported
| the phianthropic idea enthusiastically
even graciously accepting the presidency
of the society when they should organize
But when the conversation drifted into
holiday news the caller COO hot, by any
| tact, draw out the brides plans concern

Goldwate suddenly let go skirmishing and
asked her, point blank, IF the Farms
would give annual dinner this year,"

her face lighting up with pleasure, "hus-

frequently in a free for all fight in which
fists only We're used and after which no
arrests. were made. In those New Year
days the ''rumshops," as they were called,
did land Office business. Whisky was
plentiful and cheap, asd the prejudice
against drunkenness was by nc means so
general then as now.
The focal point of interest, however,
was the hiring out of negroes for the en-
suing year Now ard then negroes were
offered for public sale, but that practice
was not so common then as in the earlier
part of the century.
Planters neither hired out their slaves,
nor did they employ those Of other peo-
pie. But those belonging to minor chill
Gren and widows, as well as many who
were "chattels' of residents of the towns
and villages were commonly hired out, -
especially ii they had been taught trades.
OF were good cooks or house servants.
Many town residents possessed slaves be-
yond their home needs, and these were
E'hired out to others who might require
their -ervces.
The contract lasted for the calendar
year only. 1t must be renewed annually,
if desired by the contracting parties.
Much misconception obtains as to the
disagreeableness and shame of this prac.
tlce. Masters had direct pecuniary in.
terest in their slaves, and it was to their
interest to see TO it that these secured
humane employers. As far as it was pos
s;ble, each slave was permitted to choose
the person for whom he would work
Some there were who remained with the
same employers year by year for many
years.
Those that were good servants had nc
difficulty in choosing desirable employers
Very frequently the master left this mat
ter entirely in the hands Of the slave.
After ALL though, there were those who
were unknown and many more who were
practically worthless, and these wer,
