Miss Mary Boyd is at home from

C. Thornton; president protem, Miss 
Marion Scott; vice-president, Miss

The Foster club is to hold a Christ- 
mas party Tuesday evening, Dec. 28,

Shore road. There will be a Christ- 
mas tree and dancing with music

affair. Miss Maybelle Sampson is 
the chairman of the committee im

King. 
The Christmas service will be held 
Sunday morning at the Village 
church, The Rev. Dr. Eaton will de- 
liver a sermon on “The Spirit of 
Christmas.” In the evening Hon. 
Arthur K. Peck of Boston will de- 
liver one of his excellent lectures on 
“Rome, Florence and Venice,’ which 
will be beautifully illustrated. Those 
who have heard this splendid speaker 
upon the former occasions when he 
has come to Magnolia and those who 
are anxiously awaiting an opportun- 
ity to hear him will probably make 
up an audience that will fill the little 
church to capacity. 
The annual Christmas concert by 
the Sunday School of the Village 
church is attracting as much atten- 
tion as usual and promises to be a 
popular affair. Besides the recita- 
tions and songs by the little ones, 
there will be a Christmas tree and a 
Santa Claus who will distribute gifts 
among the boys and girls of the 
school. A new and interesting fea- 
ture of the evening will be the sing- 
ing of the old Christmas carols by the 
children as they take their homeward 
way through the streets after the con-

PLANTATION’ SONGS AND NEGRO D1a- 
LECT. 
Miss Judith Hampton Lindon 
came to Magnolia last Sunday even- 
ing in order to give one of her fam- 
ous programs of plantation songs and 
negro dialect stories at the Village 
church, Miss Lindon is typical of 
the South, a charming girl, and all 
her work is permeated with a keen 
sympathy for the negro’s point of 
view as well as with a bright sense of 
humor. Her selections were as well 
given as they were well chosen, and 
that is no scant praise, and the en- 
joyment of the audience was aug- 
mented by her own very evident 
pleasure in giving the songs and 
stories that were a part of her child- 
hood. Many of the songs have never 
been written to music, nor have the 
words appeared in print. They have 
been called America’s only folk songs, 
and are surely worth preservation. 
The old-fashioned type of negro 1s 
fast disappearing and as yet the 
younger generation fails to appreciate 
the worth of the things its fathers 
and mothers did. Miss ‘Linden is one 
of those who are not only preserving 
the whimsical, simple songs and 
R. E. Henderson

stories or the darky lore, but she is 
making them beloved all over the 
country. They are simple, little 
things, told or sung in a simple, little 
way and are typical and wholly 
charming. Miss Lindon said, “I ws 
to do them, for they seem to take me 
home again for a little while.” 
The program was as _ follows: 
“Queen of Sheba;” “Telephone Con- 
versation between Nigger Bob and 
Marse Henry;” “To the Old, Black 
Mammy;”’ “Songs of the Soil” 
(banjo accompaniment )—(a) “Sugar 
Babe,” (b) “Git On Board the Ship 
of Zion,” (c) Slumber Song; two 
“Uncle Remus Stories” (the second 
by request)—(a) “How the Terrapin 
Learned to Fly,” (b) “The Rabbit 
and the Lion;” “Uncle Daniel’s Ver- 
sion of the Story of Creation” (song 
with banjo accompaniment).
