You need not be afraid of the cold at night. Open your bedroom windows. Have plenty of light-weight, warm covers; then the cold breezes won't hurt you, but will make you strong. Just think how many hours you are in bed, nearly half of your life, and you need fresh, moving air all the time. Be sure to open your windows from the top as well as from the bottom.
When his task was completed the two baskets contained: One "heavy-weight winter suit of clothes." One "light-weight summer suit of clothes." One cap. One straw hat. Two pairs of white flannel trousers. Two Madras shirts. Two flannel shirts. Two silk shirts. Seven soft collars. Three silk neckties. One crocheted tie. Eight pairs of socks. One pair of patent-leather shoes. One pair of tennis-shoes.
Grant might be whatever one liked, as far as morals or temper or intellect were concerned, but he was not a man whom a light-weight cared to challenge for a fight; and Sumner, whether he knew it or not, was a very light weight in the Republican Party, if separated from his Committee of Foreign Relations.
"You've made a mistake in your paper," said this indignant man, entering the editorial sanctum of a daily paper. "I was one of the competitors at that athletic match yesterday, and you have called me 'the well-known light-weight champion." "Well, aren't you?" inquired the editor. "No, I'm nothing of the kind, and it's confoundedly awkward, because I'm in the coal business."
Bring a blanket, somebody!" Mr. Sloane's nerves had the best of him by this time. He trembled like a man with a chill, rattling the bottle of smelling salts against the metal end of his electric torch. He had on slippers and a light dressing gown over his pajamas. Wilton was fully dressed, young Webster collarless but wearing a black, light-weight lounging jacket.
His opponent was a Tonbridgian, who, from the glimpse Sheen caught of him, seemed muscular. After opening tamely, the light-weight bout had become vigorous in the second round, and both men had apparently forgotten that their right arms had been given them by Nature for the purpose of guarding. They were going at it in hurricane fashion all over the ring.
Wolmann under the fifth rib on Friday night would almost certainly have been denied to him." It almost seemed as if he were right. From the moment the paper had taken up his cause, Kid Brady's star had undoubtedly been in the ascendant. People began to talk about him as a likely man. Edgren, in the Evening World, had a paragraph about his chances for the light-weight title.
Davenport, who never had a thousand dollars of his own at a time! and now this light-weight! compared with me I I'd give thirty cents to know what sort of a reception this fellow does get." Meanwhile, before Turl's arrival, but after Larcher's, the characteristics of Mr. Bagley had undergone some analysis from Edna Hill.
"I was just taggin' along with you gents," protested the light-weight, "I thought you was taking me right. This is the first time I been up here." "Next time we three go on a little jaunt anywhere," said Psmith resignedly, "it would be as well to take a map and a corps of guides with us. Otherwise we shall start for Broadway and finish up at Minneapolis."
Linton fought pluckily in the Light-Weights, but went down before Stanning, after beating a representative of Templar's. Mill did not show up well in the Heavy-Weights, and was defeated in his first bout. Seymour's were reduced to telling themselves how different it all would have been if Drummond had been there. Sheen watched the Light-Weight contests, and nearly danced with irritation.
