Darkies' Delight

Wash a good-sized watermelon and chill thoroughly. Cut a slice from the narrow end, to serve as a cover, take out most of the pulp and be careful not to leave in any seeds. Make a strong lemonade seasoned with a little ginger syrup, and pour into the watermelon. When serving put the lemonade with pieces of water-melon into a glass one fourth full of cracked ice. Serve with straws.
