THE FETCHING GIRL.
Popular With Men and Women Alike,
and Always Well Dressed.
Washington Post

Popular With Men and Women Alike.
and Always Well Dressed.
Washington Post
The fetching girl is she over whom men
rave. She must be bright without being
bold; quick at repartee: good judge of
human nature; prompt to read and under
stand the disposition of men. so as to be
able to cater to their peculiarities and ex-
actions. She must be well read, good
musician. good theatrical critic, able to
discuss the races, ETC.. and give her opin.
ion as 10 the last new book and the latest
picture III the salon.
She must be able to dance, row, swing.
play tennis. drive. ride, and do the honors
of an afternoon tea with the grace of q
duchess. She must be capable of discuss.
ing any subject at any time, from Staniey's
trip to the interior of Africa to the latest
new fad in dress reform and the Mckinley
bill.
The fetching girl is always well and APP
propriateiy dressed. She wouldn't be
fetching if she were not. She must wear
her cotton gown in the early morning with
as much grace as if it were from Redeem
or Worth. Again, she must carry herself
when wearing her imported gown later in
the day with as much Inconsistencies of
her attractveness as when she wore the
simple cotton gown of the morning.
NOW, 10 De tetcning girl, she must be
favorite with the women as well as with the
men, for, of course, all men have mothers
and sisters, to say nothing of cousins
and aunts She must make herself ia
vorlte with them by always being ready to
lend 4 ready anu willing ear to all they have
10 say, from IL ANNA 3 complaint about the
incompetency of her maid, and the poodle's
last SICK term. TO the sisters confidential
talk OF the sweet things Jack said to her
last night on The piazza, after the dance.
And when the maiden aunt of the family
complains of the inattentlon of the male
sex, the fetching girl must tell her with
sweet frankness that it is because the men
nowadays care only for the mannlsh girl,
who wears shirt fronts. Gordon sashes, and
who smokes cigarettes, and do not appre-
ciate beauty, refinement and Intelligence
in q woman. Then the maiden aunt is
ready TO fall down and worship the fetch.
ing girl and sing ner praises everywhere.
II pays 10 be called fetching. OF course,
all the men want to see the girl whose name
is in everybody's mouth; they think she
must be worth knowing. At the end of the
season she can count more conquests than
any other girl in her set, and her triumph
continues when she returns to the city IN
the fall, and only ceases when she at last
meets her affinity and leaves the field open
for some other girl TO lay claim to the title
OF fetching and TO fill her place.

McAllister as an Oyster shucker.
Annapolis Special

Ward McAllister may need more knowl-
edge of grammar before he can write q
book beyond criticism. but the tongers and
other residents along the banks OF the
South river will testify that as smoker OF
oysters the great leader OF fashion stands
pre-eminent and alone. He gave an ex-
hioition of his skill on Friday night,
when, accompanied by the rest of
the hunting party. consisting of
Mayor Grant, Senator Ives. Rollins NJ.
Morgan. OF New York, the two Wagge-
mans, of Washington, and e. G. Caring
ton. of Lorely, Md. he stood beside . big
pile oil oysters and, armed with six-inch
shucking-knife, sent the shells flying. The
other gentlemen also did very well. but
they could not keep up with McAllister.
whose skill is something marvellous The
lookers-on say he is also great feeder,
and knows good oyster when he sees it

Judge. liz has ciinging w IL no beautiful
memories. Even the unmusieal and inn
moral English sparrows, who come each
spring to build their little nests and squeak
and scoot about and rear their young, have
no respect for the lettering mass. No
neighbor will sorrow to see 1t 60. No scald-
ing tear will wet the dust and busted walls
of the dark and dismal wreck.
NY theory Is that the loss of an unsightIy
shed like the old exposition or the federal
building is almost as much cause for con-
graduation as the erection of . handsome
new one. So let US continue to speak in
disrespectfui terms of the old poskofiice,
until in its stead there stands beautiful
structure worthy the people who get their
mail there from day to day, and worthy Of
the times in which we live. Let US hope
that some day, and not so very far away,
handsome home for the customs and the
mails will stand where now the decayed
mass of geological remnants. the junk
wastes of architecture, the crypt of beauti-
full ideas. the federal chamber of artistic
horrors. now projects itself into the sweet
October air like sore thumb in gale of
wind.

Mr.. Gould's mail is enormous. Three
fourths of it is composed of begging letters,
and the better part of the remaining one
fourth is from cranks and people who
ought to know better. On an average Mr..
Gould receives three letters q week in
which the writers threaten to take his life.
He never pays any attention to the threat
ening letters, because he knows that any
one who intended to kill him would not tell
him beforehand. Very few letters that
come to Mr.. Gould are answered. What
ever letters Mr.. Gould has - write he pens
with his own hand. He does not employ

Gould is in constant fear and trembling for

story that he has . detective constantly at
