"Water won't hurt celluloid. I must have a pack made." Joe was an adept at card tricks, and they would show off well under water, he thought. In order that the audience on all sides of him might see, Joe now turned slowly about under water, facing to the four sections of the tank.
His clothes were worn and shapeless, his celluloid collar was cracked and his necktie was almost a rag. You would never have looked at such a man twice on the street and yet the Candidate saw in him one of those obscure heroes who are making a movement which is to transform the world. "Comrade Higgins," said the Candidate, after a bit, "let's you and me run away." Jimmie looked startled. "How?"
Millie Whitcomb's black hair is touched with soft mists of gray, and she wears lavender shirtwaists and white stocks edged with lavender. There is a Colonial air about her that has nothing to do with celluloid combs and imitation jet barrettes.
"But it doesn't match," Lois objected. "You look like a pie-bald pony now." Polly glanced about the room. A round celluloid powder-box caught her eye. She emptied the powder out and fitted the box over her hair. "That better?" she inquired. Lois was still laughing over this absurd picture, when the door opened, and in walked Betty and Fanny. "You two?" Polly exclaimed. "Oh, what a lark!"
He had sent her valentines and Christmas cards, and at the last High School commencement when the graduating exercises marked the parting of their ways, he had presented her with a photograph album bound in celluloid, with a bunch of atrociously gaudy pansies and forget-me-nots painted thereon.
In this they have a distinct advantage. But of course the story the celluloid film tells is mostly conveyed by the action of the characters, and Mr. DeVere was an expert in this. "Good-bye, Daddy," called Alice, when he was out of the scene for a moment. "We'll be back, and you can take us out to lunch." "All right," he laughed. "Make your poor old daddy spend his hard-earned money, will you?"
Vivian Bell, careful and refined, had placed on the table artistic stationery, sheets imitating the vellum of missals, others of pale violet powdered with silver dust; celluloid pens, white and light, which one had to manage like brushes; an iris ink which, on a page, spread a mist of azure and gold. Therese did not like such delicacy.
The plush photograph album is a concrete example of what makes business failure and success. More than that, its brief history presents a complete characterization of Ferdinand and Molly Brandeis. Ten years before, Ferdinand Brandeis had bought a large bill of Christmas fancy-goods celluloid toilette sets, leather collar boxes, velvet glove cases.
"They've got as much chance of overhauling us as the proverbial celluloid cat has of catching the asbestos rat," said he. "A clean getaway, barring the little damage we've taken this window, and Alden, and " "Better unpack your kit, and settle down," the Master dryly interrupted him. "Take a look around and see that everything's shipshape. Be sure the port and starboard watches are chosen.
"Come from it! By fire! There was a time there when I'd have been willin' to go to it yes, and stay. All I wanted was to get out of that room and hide somewheres where folks couldn't look at me. I give you my word I could feel myself heatin' up like an airtight stove. Good thing I didn't have on a celluloid collar or 'twould have bust into a blaze.
