Margaret cast the gown on the bed, revealing all its beauty of jetted lace and soft yellow silk with a dextrous sweep of her arm. Aunt Beatrice gave a little cry of admiration. "Isn't it lovely?" demanded Margaret. "And I've brought you my opera cape and my fascinator and my black satin slippers with the cunningest gold buckles, and some sweet pale yellow roses that Uncle Ned gave me yesterday.
Spence made a remark sotto voce which should, in the ordinary course of events, have remained a secret. "Susan," he said, "your friend Miss Leffingwell is a fascinator. She's got Robert's scalp, too, and he thought it a pretty good joke because I offered to teach her to play golf this afternoon." It appeared that Susan's eyes could flash indignantly. Perhaps she resented Mr.
For praise creates a peculiar pleasure, and pleasure in turn, as we have already said, first dilates and opens the heart and then the spirit, and then the whole face and especially the eyes, so that all these doors are opened to receive the poison which is ejaculated by the fascinator.
The man who has a pleasant manner is dangerous and a profligate; the virtuous man the true-hearted Englishman conducts himself as a boor, and proves the goodness of his nature by his silence and his sulks. The hero of this trumpery piece was of this familiar type. He saw the gay fascinator coming about his house; but he was too proud and dignified to interfere.
No more vulgar term exists than "masher," and it is a distinct comfort to find Webster ascribing the origin of the word to England's reckless fun-maker, Punch. Beaux, bucks, lady-killers, Johnnies, all these terms have been applied at different periods to the self-proclaimed fascinator of women, and to-day we will use some one, any of them, rather than that abomination, masher.
Suddenly her hand and her eye fell at the same moment on something hidden in a far corner under a white "fascinator," one of those head-coverings of filmy wool, dotted with beads, worn by the girls of the period. She drew the glittering, unfamiliar object forward, and then lifted it wonderingly in her hand.
"Here is your fascinator, my dear," said the motherly landlady, offering the wisely-selected substitute for Lily's hat. "Let me tie it on for you there!" The fascinator of white wool, made and adjusted properly, accounts for its name; and Guthrie was sure that he had never seen a lovelier picture than his darling's face in that soft frame.
"And by the way, Torchy," he winds up, "about Bonnie." "Oh, yes," says I. "The lady fascinator." "If she should show up while I am away," says Old Hickory, "don't don't bother to tell her I'm a sick old man. Just say I I've been called out of town, or something." "I get you," says I. "Business trip." "She'll be disappointed, I suppose," goes on Mr. Ellins. "No one to take her around town.
He was a handsome, distinguished lookin' chap, and he kept right on bein' a fascinator as long as he lived. "I guess that's the reason she left him in the end. She stood for the gambling joint, and, although she had a cool sarcastic way with her that kept the men who fell for her at a distance, she was a good decoy, and she looked a regular queen at the head of the green table.
She reappeared soon with a fat home-made sausage and a couple of warm biscuits which she insisted upon his taking. "They're all buttered and they've got sugar on 'em," she whispered significantly. "Say, you eat now, while I saw," she commanded, coming around through the gate. She had put on her fascinator hood, but her hands and wrists were bare.
