"Oh no, ma'am, that is out of the question; and if it is for a permanency, I don't see how we could improve on glace silk, with crape, and love-ribbons. Would you like the body trimmed with jet, ma'am?" "Oh, don't ask me; I don't know. If my darling had only died comfortably in her bed, then we could have laid out her sweet remains, and dressed them for her virgin tomb."

Various improvements from time to time were made in the aerial wires, and in 1905 a number of horizontal wires were connected to an aerial of the inverted cone type previously used. The directional aerial with the horizontal wires was tried at Glace Bay, and adopted for all the long distance stations, affording considerable strengthening of the received signals at Poldhu stations.

"Well, her father and myself consider it quite remarkable and we have been urging very strongly her acceptance, though of course" this with a glacé smile, "we realize that we are only her parents. And, as Nancy knows, it has always been our dearest wish to have her decide matters affecting her happiness entirely herself.

Whatever the prejudice may be against all these emotions glacé with sugary frosting, we feel that his art has brought them into being with an unmistakable gift of refinement coupled with superb style. How an artist like Beardsley would have revelled in these moments is easy to conjecture.

Au moment ou l'on arrive au Montanvert, la scène change; et au lieu de cette riante et fertile vallée, on se trouve presqu'au bord d'un précipice, dont le fond est une vallée beaucoup plus large et plus étendue, remplie de neige et de glace, et bordée de montagnes colossales, qui étonnent par leur hauteur et par leurs formes, et qui effraient par leur stérilité et leurs escarpements

"This is the play; only instead of speaking their words, they sing them." Josephine shrugged her shoulders. "Ah, bah!" said she. "How stupid! I had rather have seen the Closerie des Gênets at the Graiété, if that is to be the case the whole evening. Oh, dear! there is such a pretty lady come into the opposite box, in such a beautiful blue glacé, trimmed with black velvet and lace!"

Huge, however, though this glacier of the Mer de Glace be, it is only one of a series of similar glaciers which constitute the outlets to that vast reservoir of ice formed by the wide range of Mont Blanc, where the snows of successive winters are stored, packed, solidified, and rendered, as it were, self-regulating in their supplies of water to the plains.

We crossed the Mer de Glace in safety, but we had misgivings. The crevices in the ice yawned deep and blue and mysterious, and it made one nervous to traverse them. The huge round waves of ice were slippery and difficult to climb, and the chances of tripping and sliding down them and darting into a crevice were too many to be comfortable.

The right hand, if you will. Perhaps you'd better remove your elegant ring; I shouldn't like to have anything catch in the setting." "Miss Dix! Six-and-a-half black glace upper shelf, third box for this lady. She's in a hurry. We shall see you often after this, I hope, madam." "No; we don't keep silk or lisle gloves. We have no call for them; our customers prefer kid."
