In the center of the room was a table littered with books, magazines and illustrated weeklies. "Do you play chess, Monsieur?" said Madame to Fitzgerald. "I do not." "Well, Colonel, we will play a game and show him how it is done." Fitzgerald drew up a chair and sat down at Madame's elbow.
"The evenin' followin' the ad in the weeklies, I was settin' smokin' on the back piazza of the shut-up main hotel, when I heard the gate click and somebody crunchin' along the clam-shell path. I sung out: 'Ahoy, there! and the cruncher, whoever he was, come my way. Then I made out that he was a tall young chap, with his hands in his pockets. "'Good evenin', says he. 'Is this Mr. Brown?
And not the least readable portions of the weeklies have been the "Waban Ripples" in the Prelude, and the "Parliament of Fools" in the News. For Wellesley has a merry wit and is especially good at laughing at herself, yes, even at that "Academic" of which she is so loyally proud.
The newspapers and periodicals include English and German dailies, secular weeklies, and trade, professional, religious, fraternal and other publications. There are numerous public school buildings, four being devoted to high-school purposes.

Looks as if he posed for tailors' ads in the weeklies. Never could stand the social parasite anyhow, but Aileen Lawton asked Isabel to let her bring him, as they are going to open the ball to-night with some new kind of turkey trot.
Some physicians take in the illustrated weeklies as well as the monthly magazines. In one of the former I found the other day an excellent panoramic view of the second inauguration of President McKinley. But I am afraid I have wandered somewhat from what I set out to say. I meant to show how different from your clean-shaven doctor is the physician of the conventional beard.
He just sat and waited in silence until the major had gone out to get a bite to eat, and then he undertook to edit it. But there wasn't any way to edit it, except to throw it away.
