THE HOTEL ST LOUIS

Of shrimp pot-pourri. On the broad
window ledge is a box Of kitchen
bouquet; basil, cheval, coriander, and
on the odd little balcony jutting out
from it q sweet box garden of pc
tunias, cypress vines and myrtle.
Above it a freighted clotheslino flaps
in the wind and rain.
Here you say 'B 'soir," and insist
that you can find your way without
further guidance. You retrace your
steps, hating now and then to be GER
tain Of your direction, and come at
last to view the ruin of a fine old
tapestry. On you go to the great
ground floor and linger a moment for
one last look at the slave mart. Then
your feet find the quiet street and a
cool, mist-driven wind smites your
face refreshingly. You swing back
easily to the present and everyday
realities, but the old Hotel st. Lo.is
is craven upon your heart. It will
slip into your thoughts again and
again no matter where you may be.
At the theater perhaps, at the dance,
in the busy, noisy rounds of life rath-
err than in the silences, you will re-
member, you will reese it, re-live It,
And you will hear the sound o. rain
ceeping in-drip, drip, drip--tne plain
tive chirp Of cricket and the scut-
ter of rat in the broken wainscoting.

But contrast is the spice of life. To

when the fair tobogganiste comes in,

luxury of the hotel the antidote and
therefore the completion of her out

A prosperous looking planter strides
forward and touches her arms ap-
praisingly, then his hand falls un-
abashed to her strong bare ankles.
He steps back obviously pleased, call
ing out with assumed Indifference:
"One thousand dollars!" Higher the

and fall, rise and soar and swell, un-
til at last the hammer falls, the bah.

volition Of your own, your mind slips
back to the cells and to buxom,
kind-faced nanny, created and en-
dowed to nurse the offspring Of white
mothers. She will bring but modest
price in the mart, for there are many
of her kind. Hore is a young quad
room, there a. gray old Creole darby,
somewhere else very black and
strapping half-grown negress. You
sense their speaking voices, deep and
melodious, jargon Of French and
Spanish inlaid with many little Eng
1ish words. Suddenly, in the cells
occupied by the men, the coarser
blacks break out in a burst Of wild,
weird song, cut through by the tam
tam of drum made of gourd cov-
cree With sheepskin.
A tail and sinewy negro rises and
steps out quickly to the center Of the
floor and dances with rolling eyes and
gaming mouth to the time of the primi-
tive drum.
Now, bat futters out of the shad-
ows and brushes your face, while you
stir out of cramping muscles with
muttered word of relief. Drip, drip,
drip, the rain seeps in, steadily, now,
like clock ticking.

breath and 60 on. But you halt alb
ruptly at the sound of an opening

with a basquelike bodice of luminous
green. She wears a cap OF sOiled
D'Alencon lace, and fine odd brooch
of jet as sparkling black as her deep
set eyes. Instinctively you drop q
silver piece into the bag which bangles
with a bunch Of keys from her ample
waist, and follow her shutting lead.
To the accompaniment Of her ex-
planatory and also rapid French, you
are shown salons with cracked and
sunken marble fireplaces, salons with
vanished onyx floors, once pressed by
the satin-clad feet of many beautiful
women, widowed mirrors made in the
days of the first empire, crystal
chandeliers with broken pear-shaped
prisms, and walls from which price
