Emblem was born by nature of a calm temperament, otherwise he would not have been happy in his business; a smile lies generally upon his lips, and his eyes are soft and benign; his hair is white, and his face, once ruddy, is pale, yet not shrunk and seamed with furrows as happens to so many old men, but round and firm; like his chin and lips it is clean shaven; he wears a black coat extraordinarily shiny in the sleeve, and a black silk stock just as he used to wear in the thirties when he was young, and something of a dandy, and would show himself on a Saturday evening in the pit of Drury Lane; and the stock is fastened behind with a silver buckle.
Its nucleus was a Carpenter's Gothic villa, built originally by a Dean of Wells, bought by Lord Waldegrave in the 'thirties or 'forties, and then gradually turned by Frances, Lady Waldegrave, into a big country-house, but a house too big for the piece of ground in which it was set.
"It's very simple," declared Paul. "In this century the thirties, forties, and fifties don't exist. You're either twenty or sixty." "I hope I shall always be twenty," said the Princess lightly. "Do you find your youth so precious, then?" asked Count Lavretsky. "More than I ever did!" She laughed and again met Paul's eyes. This time she flushed faintly as she held them for a fraction of a second.
How this was done we shall see if we turn our attention to those early hunters and backwoodsmen who did great service to our country as pioneers in opening up new lands. One of the most famous of these was Daniel Boone. He was born in Pennsylvania, and, like many of the heroes of the Revolution, he was born in the "thirties" .
The speaker, who had seated herself in a rocking-chair, took off her rough straw hat and fanned herself with it energetically, rocking meanwhile. She was about midway in the thirties, plain and almost coarse of feature, but with a suggestion of tenderness about her large mouth that softened her whole face. She had, too, a vigor and freshness which were attractive like the bloom of youth.
The hint for Gaspar Ruiz, the man, I found in a book by Captain Basil Hall, R. N., who was for some time, between the years 1824 and 1828, senior officer of a small British Squadron on the West Coast of South America. His book published in the thirties obtained a certain celebrity and I suppose is to be found still in some libraries.
It stands now a rather useless encumbrance a whited sepulchre a marble memorial of the Solid South and the Kentucky that was, on whose portal might truthfully appear the legend: "A jolly place it was in days of old, But something ails it now" Aris Throckmorton, its manager in the Thirties, the Forties and the Fifties, was a personality and a personage.
What credit was there in bein' honest under them circumstances'? It makes me tired to hear of old codgers back in the thirties or forties boastin' that they retired from politics without a dollar except what they earned in their profession or business. If they lived today, with all the existin' opportunities, they would be just the same as twentieth-century politicians.
As in the thirties the spread of unionism over the breadth of the land called out as a counterpart a widespread movement of employers' associations. The latter differed, however, from their predecessors in the thirties in that they made little use of the courts in their fight against the unions. The growth of the national trade unions was a true index of the condition of business.
It was the uplifting force of this social ideal as much as the propelling force of the changing economic environment that molded the American labor program. We find it at work at first in the decade of the thirties at the very beginning of the labor movement. It then took the form of a demand for a free public school system.
