to Atlanta and determined to call on
Governor Stevens. Before doing sc
they took shave, had their hail
trimmed and dyked up in new suits.
The hall door of the mansion was
open, and the visitors noticing two
men at the other end of the hall,
walked in. AS they passed the
Threshold they bowed, and touched
their hats gracefully. The men at
the lower end of the hall did the
| same.
"They motioned US to 60 in this
parlor," said Kelly, turning to the
right and walking in. After sitting
there awhile, Hewitt said:
Are you sure that fellow told us
to come in here?"
"Yes," said Kelly, ''but I'll go and
ask bim again.
AS Kelly walked out of the parlor
door, he saw man walk out of q
door on the same side at the other
end of the hall.
did you say go in there?" Kelly
asked, beckoning back into the par
lor. Instantly the man at the other
end beckoned back to the parlor and
Kelly re-entered it.
"He says right in here, Jim. I
saw him again!"
Another long wait. At length
both visitors got uneasy and deter
mined to try it again. As they
walked out into the hall two men
entered again from the same side,
lower down. Hewitt and Kelly
again motioned toward the parlor.
Both of the strange men pointed
toward the parlor. They started
back, when Kelly stopped suddenly,
gazed intently at the two men and
then shook his head. The bald
headed man down the hall did the
same thing. He lifted his leg, and
the ha'dheade.! man below did the
same lnlny

'Fannie" writes to the Waterbury
american to inquire chow short girls
walking dresses shall be worn," and
that idle paper says in reply: REALLY,
Fannie, we were not previously
aware that they should wear their
dresses differently from long girls.
and, in fact, we are somewhat enl-
barrassed as to how we shall reply.
But if we were short girl we think
we should wear our dress with the ruff
fled portion down next to our-well,
just under our sealskin. If it were
new and pretty, we should wear 1t
long enough to let that Jones girl,
who had her old one made over in
the fall, see it, before we struck pas
'kick" for another. We should not
only wear it while walking, but we
shouldn't be SO conventional as to
take it off when We wanted to sit
down. These are only suggestions,
Fannie, but if you want authority on
the subject you'd better write to the
telegraph editor"
