"And then after we have had little nap in
water and cast ourselves into the ready arms
of Neptune. Isn't that poetic? What. you say
my story is rather disconnected? Well, / like
that. when I'm trying to tell you just what a
girl thinks Of Old Point Comfort.
'In the evenings there's the ball room and
splendid music, and the board walk and the
pier and the moonlight on the waves and the
writing room. where we all'go'a tea and sit
and talk or write while the men smoke. Why,
in that one room there are more pretty things
put down on paper than you can think of, and
the good old rule OF never making love through
an ink bottle Is broken at every desk. Don't /
think it's wrong for girl who is engaged to a
Washington man to firt with an Old Point
officer? Why, you certainly are old enough to
know that things like that don't count in sum-
mer time. But il you're writing all this for
The STAR you will be safe in saying that Fort
Monroe comes as near being an ideal place as
have ever seen in this world of sin and sorrow.'
SHE KNEW ALL ABOUT IT.
When she said that Fort Monroe was q de-
lightful place she was not far wrong, and then
she ought to have known. for she was the
daughter of an army officer, learned to walk
and later on to dance at Fort Monroe has worn
a specimen of every West Point class button in
turn, for even she won't say how many years
past. She declares she is coming here on her
wedding trip.
'But come on, this is getting tiresome. Let's
60 out on the pier and see the waves or pick up
moonstones by moonlight, and I'll introduce
you to lots OF nice people"

''Tn the afternoon? We just loaf around
until dinner, and if you don't get up too early
dinner comes pretty soon. Afterward there
are walks and drives and more ways to spend
the time pleasantly than there are afternoons
in the summer. Sometimes we go up to the
fort for guard mount or to see the artillery
fire their guns at lite targets out on the water.
and often they hit them, too. There isn't much
in the way of drills to up there just now,
for the best of that doesn't come until Septem-
Der. But then we have the officers all the time.
and after a girl has been here for a summer
and then tries some other place she certainly
does miss the brass buttons.

''But you just ought to have been here when

that either, for you're not girl; but when the

service. Just think of it; it was he' :ngiy.

This is the fate Of those who happen to know
some one here. They are likely to have good

many young men here the year around that the

The army man is Of course the beau ideal, and
as q rule the civilian can only take the

Letters had been addressed to the District
Commissioners and the health officer COM
planning Of the condition of 14th street between
street and Thomas Circle as constituting a
nuisance and menaceto health. as well as rem
dering the roadway almost impossible for
driving. If THE STAR can call attention to lhe
matter it will do the citizens of that locality

reason given by the police why the street is

FORT MONROE, Va, July 16, 1891.
Life at Old Point at this season has many
pleasures, and not the least Of these lie to watch
two young Washington society girls out in the
surf giving watery skirt dance and an imita-
ton OF Carmencita ct the same time. I saw the
pair today. They were in about four feet Of
water and six yards of blue flannel bathing suit
with plenty Of white braid and more fuilness TO
it than they knew what to do with. shall sit
on the sand and watch for them tomorrow after
noon.
There is large number Of bewilderingly
pretty girls here now, and the most Of them
take their daily dips in the salt seq waves and
come out again with a color in their cheeks
and salty thirst in their throat that makes
the ensuing julip something to be remembered
in coming years-at least so one Of the blue
flannel skirt-dancers told me later in the even
ing. She had reversed the afternoon order OF
things and was now long in the skirt and short
as to the waist.
WHAT THE PRErrf GIRLS DO.
''What do we do all the timer" said she, 70.
peating the question. ''why, we don't get mp
until nearly noon. Now, for instance, / was
the last one in the dining room this morning;

it would have been too bad to draw the line.
1t was lucky, though, there weren't two of us
to share that bird, for one of us would have
gone hungry. Old Point always does give me
the most ravingest appetite. Why, certainly
come every year. Every one does who knows

The dining room runs along the beach and 30

boats that sail gracefully by. There is one
thing about these boats that stop here that is
likely to worry the newcomer. There are in
the neighborhood of twenty boats that tie up at
the dock every day and if You ask whence came
they You are likely to be told each time that
they came from Cherrystone. Why this is

A Boys Heroic Act.

A lad of fourteen performed heroic act at

the life Of younger boy, who was in great
danger Of drowning. 1t was few minutes be-

sixteen feet deep, by the caving Of the
pile. Mr.. John Frett IT,, q cripple, who was
his own boy, Karl, who was among the fishers,
but to his surprise, on looking around. he saw
that youthful individual standing by his side
divesting himself Of his clothes. Withouta word
he dove in and caught the arm Of young Paris
as the latter rose to the surface for the second
time. He then swan to the wharf with him
ana, with the aid Of the others ON shore, pulled
the little fellow out. Mr.. Frett says that he
was utterly astonished, - he did not know
