And he gave me some plates of his own for my kodak half-a-dozen or more, and I took Aunt Amelia with them." "I still fail to see," I murmured, looking at her comically. "Oh, Uncle Seymour," Dolly cried. "How blind you men are! If Aunt Amelia knew she would never forgive me. Why, you must understand. The the rouge, you know, and the pearl powder!" "Oh, it comes out, then, in the photograph?"
The badman, the sheriff an aged party with whiskers and boots the holdup, the sad eyes of the sheriff's daughter also an aged party, but with a sunbonnet and the most expensive rouge the crook's reformation, and his violent adherence to law and order; this libel upon the portions of these United States lying west of longitude 101° Claire had seen too often.
The lady of the feathers stood alone in the ugly little room, and heard the clock of the great church close by chime the hour of midnight. Her face was set and white under its rouge, in its frame of disordered canary-coloured hair. Her eyes were clouded with perplexity, with horror, and with awe. Yet she looked undaunted.
Only I should think that such a perfume would be good for the cold you contracted by going to London last night." Mrs. Jasher turned suddenly pale under her rouge, and her hand clenched the fan so tightly as to break the handle. "I have not been to London for quite a month," she faltered.

It is Musgrave. He has had the vanity to take off his absurd costume, and to wash the powder from his hair, and the rouge from his cheeks. He stands before me now, cool, pale, and civilized, in the faultless quietness of his evening dress. "No," reply I, shortly, "I am not!" "Will you dance with me?"
"Not in bed yet? Not undressed? They told me that you were tired and had gone to bed hours ago!" "Did they?" I can say only these two little words. I am panting so, as if I had run hard. We are both in the room now, and the door is shut. I suppose I look odd; wild and gray and haggard through the poor remains of my rouge.

Colonel Braxton BRAGG, Baton, Rouge, Louisiana. Dear Sir: Yours of January 23d and 27th are received.
Skinner, for he died a few days after in the hospital at Baton Rouge. He was brought home and was laid to rest in our beautiful Grove Hill Cemetery. March 16th. It cleared off very pleasant this morning. Had breakfast of hard-tack and coffee. We had orders to march, about three o'clock in the afternoon.
