Not long since there was a movement in Japan to embark in pearl production upon a basis wholly commercial, and its promoters discussed it as they might a project for supplying a city with vegetables. One of the claims of those exploiting the venture was that they could keep pace with fashion's changes by supplying pearls of any shape, pear, oval, or spherical.
Not behind the hay, where a poor wretch was almost dead with terror. There was no nest there, and so she failed to see the ghastly face, pinched with hunger and pain, the glassy eyes, the uncombed hair, and soiled tattered garments of him who once was known as one of fashion's most fastidious dandies.
The ex-servant, scarce able to read or write, ugly by nature and gross by instinct, is now a glorious star in Fashion's galaxy, while the child whose diapers she used to deodorize, compelled by poverty to accept employment, is socially ostracized.
"I have said nothing you can properly object to," said I, "and as for my knees, that is an attitude I keep for God." "And as a goddess I am to be served!" she cried, shaking her brown locks at me and with a bright colour. "Every man that comes within waft of my petticoats shall use me so!" "I will go so far as ask your pardon for the fashion's sake, although I vow I know not why," I replied.
Long white silk or kid gloves and a light-colored afternoon wrap complete the correct dress for the afternoon dance. The hat, of course, depends on Fashion's whim at the moment.
Truly, twice blessed or cursed by the gods was he to be loved by two such women; the one fashion's, the other nature's child.

Well, of course we used to play on her to tease her. She used to make him do a good deal of waiting on her in return, and he was the one she used to get to dress old Fashion's back when it was raw, and to put drops in her eyes. He got quite expert at it. She said it was a penalty for his worrying her so. She was the great musician of the connection.
Out of this very sympathy came her faults faults of reasoning and judgment. Prudent in her own chilling path through what the world calls temptations, because so ineffably pure because, to Fashion's light tempters, her very thought was as closed, as "Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave,"
Sevier asked himself as he laid down the newspaper full of congratulations upon the return of trade's and fashion's boisterous flow, and praises of the deeds of benevolence and mercy that had abounded throughout the days of anguish. Certain currents in these human rapids had driven Richling and the Doctor wide apart.
I shall go boldly and demand to see her to-morrow!" Her womanly intuition told her the lines were broken. And so, robed in fashion's shining armor, Alixe Delavigne counted the moments, until at four o'clock of the next afternoon her carriage waited in the bower-decked oval of the marble house.
