It was found utation ne- ! by license, and it was seldom that the services of 2 preacher were called in.

At a cake walk a man might legiti- mately show his preference for a wom #u and thus publicly claim her fora wife. In effect the cake walk was not different from the old Scotch marriage which required only public acknowl): dg ment from the contracting parties. this festival became in some sense a Wooing, an acceptance or rejection and aceremopy. This explains its popular ity with the blecks outside of its beau ties, with the accompaniment of music. which is competent at ail times to com- mand negro support.

Cake walking bas improved, as do most things that are constantly practic- ed, It bas lost its old significance in the south. Negroes vow get married, when they marry at all, in the white folks’ fashion. It has, moreover, become a pantomime dance. Preperly performed, it isa beautiful one. The cake is not much of a prize, though the negro has a sweet tooth.—New Orleans Times- Democrat.
