■MM WE NEVER GROW OLD. We nover grow old, it Isn't the mode, We Lave pinned our felth to a modern code And siar/od ont on the longer road! Our grnndiuothers woro.lholr dainty caps, Our grandmothers took little dally naps— Wo take the air in our winter wraps. Our grandmothers aged al fifty or so; But, stemming the tide of the long sgo. Wo wear our fifty years of snow! . • —Boston Woman’s Jourfiah I DIANAU VISITOR. ‘ It wits a very cold day—nt least it sconietl so in Georgia, for the men hail all put on their Overcoats and the women their wraps. The doors were shut and • the windows pulled down. The violets were hiding their purple petals under the broad green leaves; the golden blossom of tho Siberian shrub that, almondlike, hung on its leafless branches, seemed to lie shivering. Only the .liritvo snow white Roinim hyacinths out iu the yard stood erect in the cold, clear air and brought thoughts-of “ipure eyed Kpith, white Jianded Hope and hovering angles girt with golden wings.” Queer fancies about tljo old doctrine of the transmigration of souls seemed whispered by the tiny tinkle of one white bull, while the tintinnabulation of another hinted that the spirit of the lady in Comus had come again to earth naid was visibly embodied in this beautiful flower: The unattending ears of Mrs. do Lancey, however, caught none of these sounds as she trudgwl past the stately old Graham place, where the hyacinths stood in the yard iu great groups. Fax other thoughts engaged her mind, while her eye’sought her own eabin home on ‘‘de turr side de great house.” .‘‘How long have you been living out here?” asked her companion, a straight, lithe, chestnut colored young man, well dressed and with a certain self respecting air that was ‘‘EVer sence de beginment of de war times I bin liv dar. Dar whar all my chillern Wuz borned. Hit gwine on 19 year sence da.las’ one come. I jes’ been see dat gal, kase she saunt after me. She a smart gal, she is, an she teaohin school down in Atlanta now. De chile Clone change her name so dat I doan’ know who de folks talkin ’bout when dey ’dress her. I name her Dromaky, arter de pictur ble merster had ’bout ‘Hector and Dromaky’ hangin up in de dinin room, but she say data mighty ig’nant name, and she done change to Ruth. I calls her Dromaky, an dat what I ’spect to call her. I’ze 58 year ole, de boss say, an you cyan’t teach old dog new trick. Ain’t dat so?” A kindly smile rested on the face of the young man who was so courteously carrying Mrs. de Lancey’s black, shiny valise. His answer was an indirect one: “I think Ruth is a beautiful name. Dromaky, too, seems beautiful when it means Ruth.” ‘‘Whar you come f’om, man? You talk sorter proper, like my gal da I know’d soon as I sot eyes on you when de train stop dar youwuz a quality digger bedout you openin your mottf. Now you done txjte my cyarpet bag and done sh«v de ’havior of a gint’man, I know you bin fotch up right. I ain’t got no disparagement ’bout you. I knows quality folks when I sees ’em. Dat de kind I bin use ter all my life. Dat de kind < Dromaky bin use to, but us doan talk alike, ’kaze she got de ’vantage of eddication an book larnin more dan her mammy is. But she got good horse sense, too, dat chile is, an she ain’t no more shame uv me dan es I wuz a high learnt ’oman lack de black folks is. dese days. I foteh Dromaky up right. When she want to be rnnnin round wild, lack some de black chillern an de white chillern, too, does, I took holt uv her, I did, an I checktise dat gal tell I rectify her. Dat huccome she so ’spectable and 'sponsibled now. Chillern got ter be checktised, man!” Again that pleased, quiet, happy smile' played over the face of the young man, who had just reached out a smooth, brown hand to take the rough, horny, age veined hand of Dromaky’s mother and assist her in stopping across a muddy place in the path that, turning aside from the led by a “nigh cut” to the whitewashed cabin among thd clustering pines. “Is thesnearest house your home—the one with the honeysuckle clambering over it and the jonquils in the yard? How pretty they look**’ / ‘‘Dey bleedged ter look bright," dem Blooms is, ’kaze Dromaky sot dem out when she wan’t knee high t« a. duck. She a mighty chile fur lovin flowers, an ole miss gin her dem roots, ’kaze de 'pigf yard done overgrowed wid ’em, an she want mo’ room for her hyacinths what you see bendin an wavin ’bout yonder. Dromaky wuz de white folks’ favorite an de black folks’ favorite too. Wharsomever dat chile go she’taehes folks to her. She ain’ discontemptious an bigoty like soihe gals, an she got heap a fun ’bout her. ’ ’ By this time they had reached the gate of the little yard with its clumps of pines, its patches of tender grass, its great beef of daffy-down-dillies dancing in the February breezes, and like the face of Lady Una makipg sunshine in a shady place. The young man held the gate open for Diana to pass in first, hesitated A moment, then went in himself, -saying, ‘.‘l will put your valise on the porch. ” “You got ter eat a snack wid me, man. You done act de gentleman to me. You must er come from de low country. De black folks and de white fol Ils bofe down dar got and bchavemont. .Dey ain’t got no ’dayciqtisuess an do disparagement dat de folks got up hyar in dis part do wori. Us used ter live dar atter wo comcd f’om Fredor- , ic* burg, ’fore we corned up hyar. Cpme ’long in an eat a snack wid. me. I gwino mock some coffee an fry some meat, ‘an Dromaky done stuff dat balise plumb I full uv good things on one side. I gwine i give you some, kase you got sich good raisin’s.” She seemed scarcely agvare that her companion had rarely spoken during their long walk. His very silence had

been so full of a sort of high bred deference and courtesy that showus jierfectly nt case Kvith him. Years before, when the fattier of this polite young man wus a slave nhd drove the carriage of Colonel Porcher in CliiU’lqstoq, a distinguished foreigner dace said to his owner: ‘‘Barely have 1 met in alls my travois any man with such fine manners as your cai riagv driver. There in something about him which makes mo think of an exiled prince, and, what is to me perfectly wonderful, liia bearing, while so respectful. does uot suggest the slave. ” With this iulierited tendency, added to an edndation at Hampton, uo wonder that Fontain Clayton had been classified by Diana as “quality an no kin to buc-kra,” no wonder that ho had found I away to hir ready liking, her untutored ' affection. No wonder that she allowed I her heart to overflow and talked to him of her "Dromaky” as freely ns a child prattles of its doll. ' “Yon done help me so much I gwine let you set in Drdmaky’s cheer. Dat’s it wid do rod ribbon 1 ' bow tied to de back. Dat chile like pretty things. She , an two tnrr ’omaiis—teacher ’omiuis, ! lack my gal—done rent a room in At- , lantiL Hit got a sorter little pretty closet . mom ojien off to one side whar Dromaky | sleep. De turr teachers got a foldin bed what look lack a bookcase in do day time. Dey gits dinner at arestyroom an rests dar awhile, an dey buys bread jui cooks cocoa an tea an sich lack fur breakfiis’ an dinner. Dromaky V* so peart an so little dey calls hsr de little ‘ Joree. ’ One day when I wuz dar dey wuz all sittin roun de fire. Dromaky got de Scribbler’s Magazine, a-readin, an mea-knittiu ft pair uvwool stockin’s -,-dat all do kind I likes—an Miss Simpsons—she de old maid nigger ’oman — whar teacliin. She aiu ’t got much sense. She go pokin roun lack she doan’ know what she thinkiu ’bout, an hobody else doan’ know nuther. She sot dar a-readin a poetry book. Dat all she talk ’bout, poetry an poetry, tell hit fair made me sick. “Dat turr ’oman is a Yankee nigger, an she wear glasses, an she mighty friskylike an full uv devilment She keeps ’em all livened up like dey got some sense an some understandment. I like dat ’oman. She do one got ter mock de cocoa dat night She het de water an den go to de cubboard to get de cocoa. All uv a suddint she drap down on de floor an jes’ bust out a laughin. Dat little Dromaky she jes’ got ter gigglin den, an she giggle an giggle, dough she doan’ know what she gigglin ’bout Dat poetry ’oman jes’ sot dar lack a fool an make out she doan see nuthin. De Yankee ’oman laugh so de tears corned in her eyes an cloud up her spectacles. She jes’ pinted to de cubboard, an Dromaky rocked back in de cheer, laughin most to death an sayin, ‘ls it—is it—de milk?’ ” Diana’s visitor seemed about “to hurt hisself. ’ ’ He seemed perfectly overcome with merriment “I axed my gal next day huccome she think so much jjv dat ’oman whar ’pear so cuyous an talk ’bout poetry all de time, an sorter mind yo uv a horse wid de blind staggers. De gal say lie love de ’oman jes’ sorter natehuelly. Den de Yankee ’oman say to ine, wid a laughin eye, ‘Ax Ruth about Miss Gibson’s brother. ’ Den de gal tele me after we got off ’lone, wid her head JayinMown in my lap lack she *hse to do an a daffy-down-dHly jes’ a-tremblin - in her hand whar Mangin down, dat she love dat man an done promise to marry him if I gins de consent” A pause. “I hates mighty bad trt think ’bout givin up my little gal,” she went on as she lifted from the “balise” a nice cake, put it on the table and turned to the window to wipe her eyes on the corner of thfc curtain. Her back was toward her companion. For one moment his head drooped. He lifted it, rose, went to her, put his aim around her and whispered: “I am Mr. Gibson. I love your little Dromaky. I will be good to her. Will you give her to me?”—Eleanor Churchill Gibbs in Chicago Inter Ocean. X ~~~~ ■ J ' 1 " —————— • Novel Scene at an Amphitheater. During the performance of a play at the Amphitheater a rather novol incident occurred. It was in a scene sup-/ posed to represent a mutiny on board ship, and in it the master of the vessel was getting rather the worst of the fight. A sailor who was in .the pit and who, it is alleged, had had quite as much stimulant as it was Wise for him to carry, shouted, “ ’Eire y’are, cap’en, I’ll lend ye a hand, ’’ and immediately proceeded to put his offer inib execution by jumping over the barrier and advancing .toward the stage. As he was clambering the stage he slipped and fell backward. The matter was referred to two constables, and the too willing “Jack Tar” yas removed from the building without being able to render “the cap’en” his promised assistance.—Pullen’s Kent (Engtaad) Argus. V Settled the Difficulty. He had given he> tfhe engagement ring and was .telling her fairy stories abopt the trouble he Iftid experienced in securing a pure white, flawless stone When he saw • k«d look creep into the eyes but now fixed with I joyous mirth and gladness. “What is it, my own?” he whispered in her left auricular appendage. “Oh, Harold, luppose”“Yes, sweetheart.” “Supposetwe should get married!” “We will, my dearest,'” he hissed, with a $lO a week nerve. “And I should lose this ring in the fluff of our velvet carpets?” For a moment be was daecd. Then a decorative possibility rushed athvzart his prophetic soul, and he said firmly: “We will havekaxd wood floors. Detroit Free Press, Sias of fee Fathers.
