not make the men overlook the time-hOnored GUS
tom of being in place when the stuffed gobber is

The Country Dance.
In the evening all join in the old-time country
dance. The very name suggests quadritles, Ian
GERS two-steps waltzes and even, perhaps the
schottish. These delightful recreations still OBJ
served come from the mother country" and have
fourshed in east Virginia for three centuries.
Nothing is more joyous than Christmas dance
on a Virginia plantation, where observance of the
season is inherited, where the servants are ne
groes the fiddlers are negroes and thoroughly IA
miliar with the dear old dance music so fondly re-
membered by those of ante bellum days. Invita-
tons have brought out the countryside, whose

season Bright fires are burning and the servants
are on hand to wait on the ''wite foxes"

has settled over the landscape Outside there is
rumble of vehicles over the slightly frozen road
leading to the house, buggies, carriages perhaps

people, the black jehu guiding his team and COM
ing in a rapid trot. There may be two
tomobiles.'
The big front door is thrown open, blaze of
genial light welcomes the incoming guests, who
shake hands with the host and hostess standing

assigned them. All is hustle and happy prepara-
ton for the coming dance.
Nine O'Clock chimes from the timepiece on the
parlor mantel The lively bevy of maidens are
trooping down the broad stairs. What visions of
loneliness are these hghbred Virginia girls and
they charge the very atmosphere with coquetry.
Young gentlemen offer hurried requests for the
dance. Then the real revelry begins with the
fiddler's call of Choose yo pahdnahs fo' de fus'

with short intermission until supper is announced
at l. O'Clock. Then the musicians play march

Around the heightened mahogany table is
spread feast tit for the gods. Cold turkey tur-
