dear friend"
Have you had a view of Lula since
we were at the Ferry? | observed q
letter advertised for her last week.
o. SAYS that Charles B. Ii. and not
J. .C.B. will cause hefty amount OF
gossip, and it is always best to avoid
gossip, especially when it is to he lear
fully unpleasant.
No one seems to know the immoral
causes that keep up the GOODNESS be-
tween Miranda and Ella. They were
friends at school, and have been as,n-
ciated as bosom companions for three
years, and now they do not speak To
each other. | venture the assertion
that it is a love affair, They no doubt
both love the same man. Poor things.
Lou. YOU and | will never separate our
friendship on account of one man, VIII
we? Not while there are millions to
be had on application.
Anna and l.. have gone down to the
seashore to renew the bonds of ac-
ouaintance that Mr.. B. made ut the
Fort years ago when he was in busI-
ness there.
J. left two weeks ago. Her mother
was i'll and sent for her. She returns
about September Is, on time for the
second edition SPARTA
Mrs. Anderson, of Cincinnati, Will
be a guest of our city this winter.
She is an amiable, sweet lady. and
will receive warm greeting on her
arrival, and there will be no lack OF
courtesies during her sojourn.
The Misses Anderson, of Richmond
yes, that is their name. Washing
ton society people find very warm
greeting awaiting them at their house,
also the Stewards in Third street, and
Mr.. John Dabney's on Broad street.
When you go down next week, just
use my name at each house.
l.. Z. M. has returned. She was
somewhat under the weather; but now
she is out, bright, charming and aS
vivacious as ever She is looking the
very picture of loveliness. We all
wish her much prosperity in the new
field she has been called to.
A. and NJ. are yet in Canada. They
spend much of their time in Detroit,
and | know they are doing those gal
liant Michiganders just too much.
Ida sent home for her wraps last
week. She told her mother in a card
to have the parlor in pie order hy
September 81 What does this mean !?
She will be at the Motthern-LOgreen
wedding, and perhaps she may let her
own take place at the intended grOom's
house while she is sojourning.
l think it best for girls to get mar
ried at home. A man should love well
enough to face the music where the
object of his affection resides. Any
girl that gets married away from her
parents and her kOme, unless it he
under extraordinary and plainly ex-
cusable circumstances, lays herself lia
bic for gossip-not of the sort gener-
ally wanted, either.
] do not think that you or | will
ever see a match between Mr.. o. and
Miss r. S. While she prefers him for
an escort, she will not prefer him for
an "affianced;" never, and you mark
my words.
A lady wrote me that she was a
regular reader of our letters. What
seemed to please her was the manner
in which we pointed out the humbugs
and frauds.
Very truly, a person may obtain a
place under the government; that is
all right; but society has no right to
turn into full grown magnate every
little bobtail that hangs on at the
string
Have yon heard that Mr.. D. of Geor-
gia was seriously well pleased with
our little Musette. Well, indeed he
is. Oh, is she not sweet girl, And
he is one among the very best of men.
B. H. l.. and Mrs. o. will leave ON
the 2lst for Martha's Vineyard.
D. L. had II real elegant time while
sojourning with her friend, A. d. J.
NJ. has been quite sick, but is up
again
Sadie hos gone down to Mecklen-
burg, Va, to drink mineral water and
visit her grandparents.
Bessie had fine ovation and grand
time in San Francisco.
c. Z. has gone for few weeks to
Watkins Glen.
; The hotel at Sandy Springs is over
crowded with WashingtOnians.
Lima wrote here that she was three
thousand feet above the level of the
sea. The next thing that girl will do,
will be to write fish story fer the
BEE; and she can tell them, too.
Miss Davis will extend her tour to
Cincinnati, Louisville and other West
ern cities. She is doing remarkably
well, and we should all be very glad to-
hear of her success.
0. B. has been to visit her dear
friend D. q. at Narragansett. She re-
turned to the city Tuesday.
Yes, Clara W. is improving slowly,
and | hope surely.
NJ. j. NJ. is really engaged to the
gentleman you referred to.
B. B. and the H. will 90 off in De-
cember. She is getting her fxings
ready.
Yours, CLARA.
