"You will ruin that old woman, and with her the best old negro that ever was." "Oh, no," said Mrs. Graeme, "there is no danger of that. You could n't spoil her." A few weeks later she said: "Yes, Mammy is launched. She told me to-day she wanted to join the club, and when I asked, what club, she said, 'the Colored Ladies Siciety Club." "I should say she was launched," sniffed Mr. Graeme.
"She told me she wanted her money to invest it herself. The old fool! They will rob her of it." The weeks that followed, and Mam' Lyddy's immersion in "Siciety" began apparently to justify Mr. Graeme's prophecy. A marked change had taken place in the old woman's dress, and no less a change had taken place in herself. She began to go out a good deal, and her manner was quite new.
