The life of an eyelash is from 100
to $50 days. They grow very slowly,
but fingernails grow quite rapidly in
comparison. If a person could live
without breaking or cutting her nails
for lifetime they would attain the

Don Almonaster, upon the Plaza d'Ar-
mas, still rings the summons for
slaves to be in their own homes, at.
the self-same hour that its threatening
tones pealed out in the gray OF an
other century.
Then, in the octoroon ballroom, a
long. low building of Spanish and
French architecture lying beyond the
Alice st. Anthony, back of the cathe-
dral, the notes of the bell provoked
mocking peals of laughter from the
liquid eyed, dusky skinned beauties as
sembled there. It was their privilege
to bask in the smiles Of princes Of an
cient empires. to clasp hands in the
dance with the whitest hands that
graced the courts of foreign capi-
tails.
Scarcely more than a good stones
throw beyond they had been bought
upon the block of the old slave mar
ket. Their beauty had been appraised
at a high value, and here they in
dulged in freedom never accorded
their kindred of darker skins and less
beautiful features.
To-day the octoroon ballroom re-
sounds to the tread of priests. and
when the bell Of the cathedral chimes
the hour of 9 the chanting of quadroon
nuns falls sweetly into silence upon its
last note.
The facade of the cathedral is
lanked on either side by great build
ings Of solid masonry, built in the
Moorish architecture Of Spain. and the
windows look out upon the green
beauty of the Place d'Arms and on the
