"Join your hands and circle to the left!" Around they went in a giddy whirl and starched petticoats stood out like hoopskirts. "First lady swing with the right hand round with the right hand gent!" The train of Mrs. Abe Tutts's diaphanous "tea-gown" laid out on the breeze, thereby revealing the fact that she was wearing Congress gaiters, comfortable but not "dressy."
Our suburb has a train service which is particularly convenient for the theatres. Eliza would wear a dressy blouse, she shares my objections to anything cut out at the neck, a mackintosh, and a sailor hat, the two latter to be removed before entering. I should carry her evening shoes in a pretty crewel-worked bag. We have often discussed it.
Never wear a "dressy" bonnet in the street. The costumes for picnics, excursions, journeys; and the sea-side should be of a strong fabric, simple cut, and plain color. Things which will wash are better for our climate. Serge, tweed, and piqu, are the best. A morning dress for a late breakfast may be as luxurious as one pleases.
The poor child is doubtless unversed in polite correspondence, and she did her best, but she felt she needed a little more elegance of construction and so forth, and she picked out some dressy phrases from the book." "It doesn't matter, anyway," said Patty, generously, "she's glad to come, and so I'm glad to have her. Let's telegraph at once, shall us?" "Yes; but I don't like that haste of hers.
And I probable wuzn't so dressy as Miss Sheba, 'tennyrate I hadn't no crown or septer, a brown straw bunnet and umbrell meetin' my wants better, but not nigh so dashy lookin'. But my feelin's all come from the name of the place we wuz bound for, and the patriarchical, Biblical past my mind wuz rovin' round in. Yes, my mind wuz rousted up and runnin' on the trimmin's of the Ark and Temple.
"It does look kinder nice," said Melindy surveying the pretty, tasteful cream-colored lace with a bunch of neat French flowers in relief, "but it looks to me as if it wasn't hardly dressy enough." "We can easily arrange it to suit your taste," said the young lady in attendance as she went towards the show-case and began assorting some bright-colored roses as more acceptable.
The population of Genoa is 120,000; two-thirds of these are women, I think, and at least two-thirds of the women are beautiful. They are as dressy and as tasteful and as graceful as they could possibly be without being angels. However, angels are not very dressy, I believe. At least the angels in pictures are not they wear nothing but wings. But these Genoese women do look so charming.

"A middle-aged person not one of my sort. I dare say I'm wrong but I don't like a dressy woman in her station of life." Mr. Kirke began to look puzzled. "I must have made some mistake about the house," he said. "Surely there's a lawn cut octagon-shape at Sea-view Cottage, and a white flag-staff in the middle of the gravel-walk?"
