Harris nodded. "You're a life saver to some " floated over to me from Marie.
I'll bet there is no limit to the agonized beautification that they can put you through if they think they can play you for a sucker." "By the way, did you see Madame Margot herself?" asked Craig. "No. I made all sorts of discreet inquiries after her, but they seemed to know nothing. The nearest I could get was a hint from one of the girls that she was away.
In consideration of these projects which contribute so much to dignify the National Capital I should like to renew the suggestion that the Fine Arts Commission should be required to pass upon private buildings which are proposed for sites facing upon public buildings and parks.

Weary prepared to finish his interrupted beautification. "I'm going to all the bottles, that is. If that Dry Lake gang comes loaded down with whisky, like they generally do, we ought to get hold of it and cache every drop, Weary."
It was a neat and showily-furnished cottage, whose Nottingham-lace curtains, varnished golden-oak chairs and ingrain carpet spoke of attempts at mail-order beautification.
