He kissed her lightly, perking up her shoulder butterflies of green sequins, and standing off to observe. "Got to hand it to my little mother for quiet and sumptuous el-e-gance!

"I'm quite content to be called common," said Katherine. "But I don't think you are common, and that's where the difficulty comes in." "Won't you be generous and call me classy, and I'll admit I'm classy to keep company with my classy associates, and you can do likewise and we can all be an uncommonly classy bunch of common folks."
But the man was too clever to turn up in that way again. In one gambling-joint which women frequent a good deal, a classy dame who might have been a duchess or a well, she was a pretty good loser and always paid with hundred-dollar bills. Now, you know women are not good losers. Besides, the hundred-dollar-bill story had got around among the gambling-houses.

"My assistant, Mr. Gallagher," says I, by way of apologizin'.
Still, they was all so hearty in their urging, Ben saying I was the only lady in the world he could travel that far with and not want to strangle, and Lon says he'd rather have me than most of the men he knew, and Jeff says if I'll consent to go he'll take his full-dress suit so as to escort me to operas and lectures in a classy manner, and at last I give up.
"Now that," caroled the motor agent, Eddie Swanson, "that's what I call he-literature! That Prince Albert fellow though, gosh, there can't be just one fellow that writes 'em; must be a big board of classy ink-slingers in conference, but anyway: now, him, he doesn't write for long-haired pikers, he writes for Regular Guys, he writes for ME, and I tip my benny to him!
I'd get up earlier than this to have breakfast with a little queen." "Ain't you ever goin' to quit jollyin'?" He leaned across the table. "That ain't a bad linen model you're wearin' it's domestic goods, too. Where'd you get it?" "At Lipman's." "I sold them a consignment last year; but, say, if you want to see real classy white goods you ought to see some ratine cutaways I'm bringing over.

Nobody will take notice of you until you come into the home stretch in the lead." "It's on the home stretch the dark horse is to show up its classy form, eh?" She nodded, and continued earnestly.
At the bottom of it, beneath several other gowns, we found the costume Vicky had worn the night of the murder! "My good land!" ejaculated Fibsy, "the gold-fringed rig! Ain't it classy!" Stone lifted out the dress, heavy with its weight of gold beads, and held it up to view. On the flounces were stains of blood!
Just then another figure darted up to them. It turned out to be Midshipman Farley. "Yes; get on your clothes with some classy speed," chuckled Farley. "Lieutenant Hall will be back here with a bunch of watchmen, the marine guard, or any other old crowd, when he finds that he has been lured on the reefs by false signals! "Mister, did you give that call of fire?" demanded Midshipman Bailey sternly.
