Soldiers walking about no longer carry their rifles, and the picturesque figures of the revolution who wore belts of machine-gun cartridges slung about their persons have gone. The second noticeable thing, especially in the Nevsky, which was once crowded with people too fashionably dressed, is the general lack of new clothes.
I saw a quick interchange of greetings between her and a fashionably dressed lady, then they withdrew to one side with the ornament I had brought, evidently consulting in regard to its merits. Now was my time. The book in which she had placed the letter she had been writing lay on the table right before me, not two inches from my hand.
"What speeches you do make, 'Manda Grier," said Statira. "Well, anything better than Quaker meetin', I say," retorted 'Manda Grier; and then they were all three silent, and Lemuel thought of his clothes, and how fashionably both of the girls were dressed. "I guess," said Statira, "it'll be a pretty sickly winter, if it keeps along this way. They say a green Christmas makes a fat grave- yard."
There were other guests of the Hotel Pleasant in the parlor, while still others passed in or out from time to time. One young man, quite fashionably dressed, stepped into the parlor, looked about him, then started as his glance fell on Dick and Dave. It was Fred Ripley. "Hello!" muttered Ripley in a voice just loud enough to carry, as he stood looking at Dick and Dave.
But yes it is a wonderful scene, and you are a wonderful people to take so much trouble." The waltz finished and Mrs. Hofer bore down upon them. She wore white brocade, the flowers outlined with jewels, shimmering under a cloud of tulle, and her neck and her fashionably dressed head were hardly to be seen for the rubies and diamonds that bound them.

"Advanced thus far towards the end, I went to see Luttra. I had not beheld her since the morning we parted at the door of that little cottage in Vermont, and her presence caused me a shock.
Is one of the makings up of a gentleman as well as his clothes, and somewhat in the same nature, for he is cast behind his master as fashionably as his sword and cloak are, and he is but in querpo without him. His properness qualifies him, and of that a good leg; for his head he has little use but to keep it bare.
The idea of a medicine for everything is still strong in the community and especially amongst dwellers in small towns, and represents a latent belief in magic. In addition to such medicines as I thought the situation demanded, and to such advice as bore on her attitude to work and play, I hinted that dressing more fashionably might be of value.
Then, expeditiously, if not fashionably, she began at once to rearrange her tousled hair, and after one single pat to her gown surely the quickest toilet-making of that festive evening snatched up a slipper in each hand, crept safely past her father's door, crept safely out at last through her own door into the hall, and still carrying a slipper in each hand, had reached the head of the stairs before a new complexity assailed her.
Fashionably and wonderfully attired! Pan got no farther than sight of the frock coat, elaborate vest, flowing tie, and high hat. Then for a second he went blind. When the red film cleared he saw Hardman pass him, saw the pallor of his cheek, the quivering of muscle, the strained protruding of his eye.
