The sidewalks of Roanoke are sadly
in need of cleaning, and the PROPOSE
ton to turn the hose on them meets
with general approval. The macadam

and the mud on the sidewalks is too
slippery for locomotion.

THE FETCHING GIRL,

Popular with Men and Women Alike and
Always Well Dressed.
The fetching girl is she over whom
men rave. She must be bright without
being bold; quick at repartee; a good
judge of human nature; prompt to read
and understand the dispositions of men
SO as to be able to cater to their pecul-
1arltles and exactions. She must be we'll
read, good musician, good theatrical
critic, able to discuss the races, the lat
est baseball game, the last yacht race
etc., and give her opinion as to the last
new book and the latest picture in the
salon.
She must be able to dance, row, swing,
play tennis, drive, ride, and do the hon
ors of an afternoon tea with the grace
of Duchess She must be capable of
discussing any subject at any time.
from Stanley's trip to the interior of
Africa to the latest new fad in dress re-
form.
The fetching girl is always we'll and
appropriately dressed. She wouldn't
be fetching II she were not. She must
wear her cotton gown early in the morn
ing with as much grace as if it were
from Redfern or Worth. Again, she
must carry herself when wearing her
imported gown later in the day with as
much Inconsistencies of her attractive
ness as when she wore the simple cot.
ton gown of the morning.
Now, to be a fetching girl, she must
be favorite with the women as we'll
as with the men, for, of course, all men
have mothers and sisters, to say moth
ing of cousins and aunts. She must
make herself favorite with them by
always being ready to lend a willing
ear to all they have to say, from mann
mas complaint about the incompetencv
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 pi-
azza, after the dance. And when the
maiden aunt of the family complains of
the inattention of the male sex, the
fetching girl must tell her with sweet
frankness that It Is because the men
nowadays care only for the manish girl
who wears shirt fronts, Gordon sashes,
and who smoke cigarettes and do not
appreciate beauty, refinement and in
telligence in a woman. Then the
maiden aunt is ready to fall down and
worship the fetching girl and sing her
praises everywhere.
1t pays to be called fetching. Of
course, all men want to see the girl
whose name is in every body'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.

Then they went into the house. John
sat On the bed and whitfield; the woman
had insisted on getting breakfast. The
exercise flushed her cheeks, and John
stole furtive and admiring glances at
her. She was vaguely like somebody
he had seen before.
They sat down, one on each side Of
the table. She heaped his plate, and
then she leaned her head on her hand,
and her face psled and her voice
trembled.

The man started as If shot. His face

The woman leaned forward, shading
her eyes with her hand.
John, don't you know me?''
"Dotty Waters!" he said. "Oh! my

Then he crossed quickly to her and
lifted her up in his arms, trembling the
while as if palsy-stricken.
"Why, Dorothy! Dotty" he said,
''they told me you had died of fever in
the marshes-that was long ago-more
than twenty years. Have you come
back to life again, Dotty, like them

you said you'd never marry me?"

behind him, went on until the light Of
his window streamed out upon them.

He flung the door open and she en-

was wholesome healthy, tall woman,

John was speechless with admiration.
