Sunday Washington globe., 1901-12-22

This city has never entertained the equal
of two frolicsome young girls from Rich
mond, Va. who up to Wednesday painted
a down town hotel cardinal red, and were
finally compelled to strike tents and move
to another hostelry up town. They are
neither of them over twenty years Of age
and they exhausted the drummers and
sporty individuals always on the look out
for soft things around hotel Sew of the
individuals who tried to keep the pace with
the Virginia girls are lying up for repairs
and present the wOe-begone appearance of
men on a protacted honeymoon
The two young female registers kept
open house at their first hotel and men
were as free to come and go to their room
at all hours of the late evening and night as
those with money who visit south of the
avenue. No money was required to visit
room Is6-anyth fhthe, semblance of a
man was weicoine for The best looking of
the two girls protested tiiat she vas '6hly
happy when she held man in her arms "
Her arms were Kept pte tty full for TIE few
days and nights she land hef companion
sport puthap at room IS6. 50 were the
ladies' stomacls. Aud these stomaehs were
something phenomenal for capacity Of all
kinds of liquors from an absifthe cocktail
to plain whiskey.
Running around the halls of the hotel in
their robes de muir and inviting men, or
rather putting men into their room, excited
the wrath of the hotel watchman and he
reported at the office. But the Office was
unable to totally suppress the Richmond
girls hilarity. Finally, by ruse, the clerk
secured their departure on Wednesday by
informing one Of the young ladies that
relative of hers was expected at the hotel
Wednesday night or Thursday morning
The young ladies packed their trunks and
had them sent to the depot, pretending that
they were going back to Richmond, but
such was not their intention, for when the
porter returned with the checks the girls
tipped him to have the trunks sent to a GER
tain up town hotel where they themselves
landed later on.
Ani-formant of the GLOBE who dallied
brief space with the festive pair gives this
lurid account of the high jerks and capers
they started in with at the latest hostelry
honored with their distinguished presence
Said he:
II have been as a travelling man up
against many hot affairs, but these two
girls overlap anything ever experienced
They started from Richmond with $500 to
have good time. They are both young
we'll bred, handsome and highly educated,
one Of them being graduate of the Nash
willie Seminary They informed me that
they had been to Philadelphia and Bati-
more before coming to Washington Their
actions talk and general capacity for any
game from drinking TO anything and every
thing else on the program of sport aston
ished even an old stager like myself
promised to visit them at their new hotel,
and when got their found the had cap
tured two men already, and were enjoying
themselves The new hotel tumbied to the
game and at midnight shut off the liquor
but the girls we're equal TO the emergency.
From their hand satchels each dame hauled
out a sealed bottle Of whiskey and bottle
Of port wine. Cutting pigeon wings with
skirts A la vaudeville they invited the
two males to liquor up, and when / left the
double couple were having a roaring time.
promised to call again, but the pace is too
hot and am going over to Alexandria to
rest up day or two"
These two demosielies are, il is alleged,
members of respectable Richmond families.
How they could have degenerated into such
undisguised depravity is a mystery for, as
stated, neither young lady is over twenty
years OF age They are described as more
than passabIy good looking richly and ex-
pensiveiy dressed and spending money like
race course bookmaker after a heavy
strike
The girls took of the key Of 1856 to keep
as souvenir Of their pleasant visit at their
FIRST hotel and the up town hostelry is
given a tip to look out for key tas or that
will be missing
The GLOBE has the names Of these two
fierce, female sports filed away for reference
should relatives OF friends, interested in
their short stay in Washington, want further
particulars OF their extraordinary escapade.
In consideration alone for the families of
which they alleged themselves to be mem
bers we refrain from publishing their
names, or, at least, the names they signed
on the hotel registers
