At log rollings, however, the dinner is provided by the host. The log roller clear the ground or leuea trees, which they collect in neaps for bnrning.

With a profusion of thanks for our kindness. Victory gave us warning. She waa back la three weeks to her own touso.

We could nt complain as far as wo were concerned, especially a she had hunted up a new cook of great gifts in sauces and salads (aecordinz to ner former employer), neat. Industrious, indeed, lacking little of perfection except) a good temper. Kerne, on tnis omciai eonnrmauon. aa it were, cf his fears, became a walking statue of gloom.

We sympathized with Kerne, but a it turnHl out our sympathy came to naught. Kither Victory's lawver got tho di vorce sooner than he expected, or Vic- inrr twralf fminrl thl m.inv innnpr: anyhow, a few evenings later, Kate eamo tc me to say that Tiiompson was calling on Victory.

I at once wanted to look at a new experiment in puddings, left in the cold closet," to reach which one must pass through the kitchen. True enough, there sat a smug-faced, six-foot' negro, glenming all over, in a black brcadcloth. with a gorgeous sold watch chain and daszling linen. Victory would not let us pass without introducing nim. It was at this moment that there eame a timid kind of half-hearted knock at the door.

Victory cpened It and absolutely stag gered back. "My Lawd! Lige!" alio screamed. whut a got yer Lige. indeed it was, and a forlorner spectacle than he presented is difficult to picture. Ho looktd sick and wretch ed and his clothes were no bettor than rags.

As it by magic, his humility was rent for him; his limp form straightened, head erect and eyes burning, ho shook his fist at tlie preacher. ou black nigger I is you darin' come twtxt me an' my wife?" Manda, who was on the other side of the table, an admiring listener to Broth er Thompsons eloquence, jumped up with a scream. Vcu hush said Victory, quietly. don't ye bo sheered, up, Mantly, he won't do no hvarm!" She turned her self to Lige with actual dignity, Who vuu ta'kin' 'bout Mist Sunders? Not me. I ain't no wife er yorn.

I got my hill divorcement dis very day. Lige gasped. The tears rose to his cyos. Onyhow, she ain't aimin to demean herself to a low down, tram pin' nigger like you," said Tiiompson, from his glistening height of broadcloth, Miss Vie- t'ry lows become tlie bride of a gen tUxnin in th A swift blow from Lige's fist knocked v. m.c jvf Iia nntnnr nut of time.

Like a tiger, Lige flew at tlie white shirt bfsom and the gorgeous watch chain. But, weakened by illness, he was no match for tlio urawny preacner wno knocked him half across tlie kitchen. Manda tittered. Soo cried Mrs. Temple, Victory 1 stop Heeding Iter no more than the wind, as JUlge, Dieeoing du unaunuyeu, dashed again at Thaanpson; Victory, her-eif.

flung th dial, towel tight over Thompson's unsuspecting head, pulling 1 mm hohind with such force ana fury. that, thus harassed in the rear, he made a mimtep and au tnree -went, uown together, under Lige's onslaught. "Git you raxor, Lige!" shrieked Victory, You let my husband 'lone or ho cut you wid a rarer!" I believe tliat it was quite as much the bewildering effect of Victory'a coo- duct as Mrs. Temple commands that sent a calm on the turmoil. Thomnson crawled to his feet and glared at Lige, also on his feet, flourishing a razor, while Victory panted, supporting herself by the table, and Mandy called on tlie police out of the dining room door, as if they were hidden upstairs.

Heme's appearance at this moment rather helped the confusion, since he uproed the house to be ad re, and ran to th water faucets. What dues all this mean. Victory Kate demanded, as soon as stie had surarenwed Mandv. Hit means dat I aine gwine to hab no black nigger ansa my husband answers Victory. Mist Thompson, anh I bids vou good day.

Jan. 4. The rather ancient fashion of wearing a chain of gold dol lars at ono'a wrists is being revived. Tho reasons for this are easily found. Such bracelets are easy to procure, if one has any admirers at alL as each can be relied upon to yield up at least one gold dollar with a monogram upon it- The matter of buying a band brace- k-t from which they are to bang is a question of onl7 a few dollars.

Thus, you see. a really elegant bracelet, the best of its kind, is procured at tlie ex pense of a little American shall we say cheek? Call it as you will, men are now going forth nbchtiy to be plundered of tbeir hard-earucd dollars. Black gloves will continue to be the favored ones worn by our French sis ters. One'a hands look so much smaller in them and the arm so much whiter above them, that in spite of all spasms to the contrary, the.v will be worn. With black gloves, perfectly fitting, a long pointed waist, a feather fan.

Small sachets are generally concealed about the toilet to lender it still more cauitvating. The girls have recorded an iron-clad oath that they will get together, and, assembling all the young men of their acquaintance at the some time, will make the fellows promise not to be over-lavish in the matter of evening and din ner drinkables.

A long flimsy robe adorned with chaste Jewelry and no sleeves may be worn and called, by courtesy, a Cleopatra gown. Feather trimming and a feather boa add a modern touch to the ancient flowing drapery, and make it a little more becoming.
