discarded tho most trilling custom which
might servo to Imply n slavo origin. Ily and
by, when tliolr freedom una nu nssured thing
nnd taken ns n mnttor of courso, thoro was n
counter reaction; thoy took up tho old song
nnd customs, but gnvo them n tono that im
plied n seiiso of tlcllvcrnuca Thus, "Holl,

description, by n whlto lady who saw It from
tho gallery of n Georgia church, Is ns fol

"Tho walk is by n slight forward jerk of the
foot. As tho walkers wanned to their work
nnd grow wilder In their movement It wns
easy to seo w by tho Iiottcr educated colored
people-nro opposed to tho walk; for tho men
nnd women took most abandoned attitudes.
Tho sceno recalled pictures of tho orgies of

tom of "linlr cutting" is observed. When n
boyrenches tho ngoof 11 or 15, nnd ft girl
thnt of 0 or lit, they nro considered no longer
children. Up to this tlmo a tuft of hair Is
allowed to grow just nbovo tho forehead, and
Is nlwuys ilrcbtud with great care. It is
twisted Into a graceful knot nml hold to
gether with n long gold or jeweled pin. At
tho baso of tills knot Is worn ft wreath of
frnsrant whlto flowers. Tho ceremonies of
hair cutting often last flvo or six days. It is
tho "coming out party" of tho boy or girl,
ami thereafter they aro not permitted to
mlnglowith tho other sex ns children, but
nro considered to havo arrived nt n mar
riageable age.
