their interests had become divergent;
they had grown apart in many ways.
And Leslie was painfully conscious
that it was she who had stood still,

nice seemed to thaw.

she took Leslie by the hand. "My
dear, how long have you been en-
gaged?"' she asked.
Five years." said Leslie, rather
frigidly.
Leslie, do you know that you
could have been married for five
years and had that much more hap
piness?" asked Eunice.
Leslie began to explain the cir
cumstances, the long series of misfor-
tunes. There was touch Of envy
in her tone which was not lost upon
her friend.
my DEAR" she answered, 81 know
that you have made great mistake
Il should say the great mistake"
"Why?" asked Leslie. "Do you be-
ieve in marrying before one is in a
position to do so? If George had had
your husbands advantages
when Philip and got married."
answered Eunice, ''he had just $50 in
the world. And we spent that on our
honeymoon. We had no furniture, he
had no prospects except those of
pooriy-paid clerk. The first three
years were a continuous struggle. A
month before Arthur was born we did
not know where the doctors ex-
penses would come from. And we
have been very happy all through it.

She knew now that it was not like
ly that George and she would ever
marry. She had seen her face in the
mirror; she had changed even more
than Eunice, but instead of taking on
the matronly aspect of happily mar
ried woman she had become a queru-
lous-leoking old maid instead. Some
day George would awaken to the I'M
Outstanding of what they had missed
in life; he would marry some young
girl, and she-well, it would be like
those horrible breach-of-promise

She must let George go. She knew
that he did not love her. She had be-

Alexandria

Preliminary steps to the organiza-
ton of company of local capital;
lists to build modern hotel in Alex
andria have already been taken and
a meeting of those interested in the
company will be held early next week
when, it is said, an application will
be made to the State Corporation
Commission for a charter for the conf
pany.
Two locations on King street be-
tween Washington and ColumE is
are under consideration. The hotel
will be five stories in heighth with
elevators and all modern convenien-
ces.
The hotel feature of the AleXan-
dria of by-gone days has almost pass
ed away. There are sofre houses O.:
entertainers. in the city, but on any
extraordinary occasion their accom-
modations are taxed far above their
capacity. During inaugural occa-
sions or at other times when large
number of people visit the capital
city many seek entertainment in AL
exandria, where the cost is lower, and
at such times modern hotel would
be literally patronized. During nor
NAL conditions, numbers of visitors
to Washington would lodge in Alex
andria were proper Accommodations
afforded, as the run between the Two
cities is but matter of twenty or
twenty-five minutes. Most people who
come to the capi:al city make trips to
Alexandria for the purpose of exam
ming historical places.

Of a house in that neighborhood, was
struck a violent blow on the mock
A young man was arrested on the
charge of making the assault, but
upon being brought into the PolIce
Court yesterday morning the woman
who received the blow sta;ed that the
prisoner was not the man who at
tackled her.
Another man was taken in custody
Yesterday and brought into the Police
Court this morning. The woman tes-
tilted that she went to her froat door
and was struck violent blow which
sent her staggering back into TIE
house. She said at first that the prs
oner looked like the man who struck
hsr, and later said she believed the
court had che right man.
An inmate of the house positively
identified the prisoner as the man who
was on the doorstep at the time.
One of the officers testified that The
prisoner and others were in the
neighborhood conducting themselves
in a disorderly manner, and that
bricks had been thrown at automo-
biles which belonged in Washington.
This seems to be the procedure of
certain men who infest the northeast
ern section Of the city.
The young man in the dock denied
the charge brought against him and
alleged that he was in bed at the
time of the assault. He was fined
500, and after the judgment of the
court, he asked if he could take an
appeal. He was told he could, but
fine was paid and the prisoner re-
leased. He later secured the services
of lawyer and again asked the court
if he could take an appeal. This
privilege was granted, but he finally
concluded to abide by the judgment Of
the Police Court.
