And yet it is a fact worthy of notice, that those who most eloquently assert their great superiority over the entire sex, are the very men most easily led ay, and duped by dressy, frivolous, brainless women. It would be a misfortune, scarcely to be endured, for such men to have wives who know too much. That there should be a head to every family, is self-evident.
Josiah looked at that water, and sez he, "Samantha, I'd love to get some of that water to pass round evenin's when we have company." Sez he, "It would look so dressy and fashionable to pass round pink water, or light blue, or light yeller. How it would make Uncle Nate Gowdey open his eyes. I believe I shall buy some bottles of it, Samantha, to take home. What do you say?
They are a vain, dressy, boastful, excitable, not to say frivolous people cheerful, talkative, sociable, fond of fun and jokes and lively stories; though given to exaggeration, their statements can generally be accepted as founded on fact; they are industrious and energetic, and are great wanderers; to the last peculiarity they owe the name of Iban, which has been given them by the Kayans, and which has now been generally adopted even by the Sea Dayaks themselves.
The General came out in an open letter, probably not so sententiously as we condense it here, but in substance to this effect: "The king never dies; citizenship never ceases; a bereaved citizenship has no right to put on expensive mourning, and linger through a dressy widowhood before it marries again.... There are men who, when their tree has been cut down even with the ground, will try to sit in the shade of the stump.... Such men are those who, now that slavery is gone, still cling to a civil order based on the old plantation system.... They are like a wood-sawyer robbed of his saw-horse and trying to saw wood in his lap."
Perhaps the dresses were simple, but they looked expensive and dressy," she added for want of a better word. "That pretty dark girl that sat next me had on the darlingest pink organdy with a Dutch neck. Oh, it was so dear. I wonder where she got it?" She had not long to wonder. The Boston shops seemed to have anticipated the needs of girls all over the country.
They strolled over toward the bar amid the noisy, shifting company of notables. The dressy manager was shaken by the hand three times in as many minutes. "I hear your lodge is going to give a performance," observed Hurstwood, in the most offhand manner. "Yes, who told you?" "No one," said Hurstwood. "They just sent me a couple of tickets, which I can have for two dollars.
You'd take it for a valentine: Mr. Burton's son Care Burton and Norcross, Jewellers, New York City." "That's me all right," cried Christopher, forgetting in his excitement and curiosity such a trivial incidental as grammar. He took the letter, regarding with amusement its disreputable appearance. "Humph! They didn't waste very dressy stationery on me, did they?" laughed he.
They are many of them wealthy and live in beautiful villas a little out of the city; they are very intelligent and firm friends of the English. The Parsees dress in very rich silks and satin, the men in pantaloons of red or orange and long frocks of gorgeous colored silk; they wear high-pinted black caps, gold chains and rings and look dretful dressy.
"Oh!" said Gertie again. "You said it. But I couldn't buy a secondhand gas stove with what I've saved in the last half-year here. Back home they used to think I was a regular little village John Drew, I was so dressy. But here I look like a yokel on circus day compared to the other fellows in the store.
It was mos' too dressy fer a lady to wear, let alone a critter like me who'd allus slep' in his pants an' day shirt. 'Twas of fine linen, pleated, and fixed with ribands, yaller riband, I chose the colour. Lily was kinder stuck on pale blue, but I liked yaller best. Lily knew what I' do with that nightie, an' I done it. I put it away in the tissoo paper 'twas wrapped in, an' I hev it still.
