And oh, the beautiful business-like precision of these fashion-plate soldiers! They never said a word, they never even glanced about; they just threw themselves down at the edge of the shell-hole, and leaned their rifles over and set to work. You didn't need to see you could tell from the look on these men's faces that they were hitting something! Presently came two more, leaping in.
The sex then took a rest for about thirty years, when a Mlle. d'Angeville made the ascent 1838. In Chamonix I picked up a rude old lithograph of that day which pictured her "in the act." However, I value it less as a work of art than as a fashion-plate.
Marholm points out at length how art again to-day gives woman a waspish waist with no abdomen, as if to carefully score away every trace of her mission; usually with no child in her arms or even in sight; a mere figurine, calculated perhaps to entice, but not to bear; incidentally degrading the artist who depicts her to a fashion-plate painter, perhaps with suggestions of the arts of toilet, cosmetics, and coquetry, as if to promote decadent reaction to decadent stimuli.
"Let 'em whistle, Sweetheart," was the unmoved response. "Even though the heathen roar, I cannot turn aside from my purpose of making you a Parisian fashion-plate." "Yes, child! It is good of you to want to dress me up. But," with a half-laugh, "don't try to make me resemble one of those foreign fashion ladies. I saw one picture in a style paper that looked almost immoral.
How well he knew the type how often had he sat in some quiet corner and listened while it revealed itself. A man alert and aggressive; immaculate in appearance as the latest fashion-plate, and overlaid with a veneer of culture yet underneath it still the predatory talons, the soul of the hawk. He was a "practical" man; that is, he understood profit.
And I admired the dress, only because she liked it, and went on tenderly: "A wonderful, lovely dress! Lovely, wonderful, Masha. My dear Masha!" And tears began to drop on the fashion-plate. "Wonderful Masha...." I murmured. "Dear, darling Masha...." She went and lay down and I sat still for an hour and looked at the illustrations.
Fashion, in some men, is an eccentricity, or rather a violence done to their essential selves. A born fop would have looked as little at home in a toga and sandals, as did this swarthy musician, doctor, priest, or whatever he was, in his fashion-plate costume. Then why did he wear it? There are other things to be followed up before attending to that question.
Madame looked more like a fashion-plate than ever, in a mass of green flounces, and an impressive bonnet flushed with poppies and bristling with wheat-ears. Beside her sat a gentleman, rapt in a newspaper, of course, for to an American man life is a burden till the daily news have been absorbed. Mrs.

It was impossible to feel any ill-will toward this captivating mite with the dark Bronzino face, and yet to Wilhelm he seemed to represent a distinct act of treachery. How could she have been so underhand as to hide the fact from him that her connection with the fashion-plate diplomat had not been without results!
