WASHINGTON LAWYER DISAPPOINTED.
A little seaside incident occurred few days
ago which might have resulted in the ultimate
transfer Of a sweetgirl to Washington In which
the following took part: An unsophisticated
but pretty girl OF eighteen, a Washington law
yer, smile, a word, a basket of fruit, and a
landlady. The lawyer became smitten, and
being SO much afflicted with the smit, and
finding no one to present him, with an as
surance that SO becomes him, he smiled and
introduced himself upon the plausible plea Of
being on q reception committee for hop, sent
out upon mission to invite young ladies. His
| ruse succeeded. He was delighted. She
Of the peace case went into a
basket of fruit. It was sent to the fair ones
cottage. The landlady received the fruit, and
on that day the boarders delighted in desert
that astonished them, wondering as they de-
voured 1t, what generous influence had come
over the spirit of the old lady's dreams. The
| lawyer dismayed, has returned to his an street
Office, in Washington. The girl swallowed her
grief, and mourns the loss Of what she has been
tOd-a young millionaire. FLORA
