The holiday times bring TO those OF
us whose memories go back half
century or more thoughts of the days
before the Civil War, when life was
so different from that in the hurryinS
world of the present, writes Mrs. Lii
lie Devereux Blake in the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger. | was born in

owned a large plantation on the banks
of the Roanoke river, in North Caro-
lima. My earliest remembrances are
of the kindly faces of the dusky peo-
Pile who were the only inhabitants for
miles around us.
The Soft Southern Winter.
After my fathers early death my
mother made her home near her own
people at the North. but each year we
viF.ted the old plantation and the
Carolina relatives. How sweet was
the soft Southern winter. How beau

more the wild songs of the birds echo
Ing down the wide reaches of the
river.
The celebration began on Christmas
evn when there was a grand ball for
the slaves. II took place In wide
barn, which had been decorated for
the occasion with great branches of
pine and holly. All present wore
their best attire. the simple gowns OF
the women often showing much taste
In their construction. A negro fiddler
led the music. which was reinforced
by the rhythmic clnpplng kept up by
the men: "clapplng Juba. it was call.

and Missis n merry Christmas. Some
times they brought small gifts OF eggs
or flowers OF little red birds that they
had tanned. Sometimes they danced
or performed athletic feats. Some
times they only said "Howd'y Massa.
"Howd'y, Mlssls." but always with a
look OF affection. All those dusky
friends OF long ago! How they dwell
In my memory! How deep and strong

Romney gazed in delight-and in

But Lalia was not offended "Of

She held out her hand for the
offending photograph; but Professor
Faulks laid it in a drawer on top of
a dozen more, saying half care

it here until you bring another, in

figure and said awkwardly: Let's write it down

said slowly: Four feet eight and one-half inches.
Then anxiously, Romney wrote: Are you

Romney chOked and nodded.

Romney's head dropped lower the paper.

Lala looked out over the city, and her face

Faulks. He, in common with the majority who

words, and asked the next question: What
