We called it, as I remember, for want of a better title, the fifteen-cent magazine. In the wake of McClure's, came Collier's, The Saturday Evening Post, The Ladies Home Journal, and all the long and profitable train which adapted the McClurean discovery to special needs and circumstances. I do not believe that this is a true statement of what happened in the fruitful 'nineties.
Suddenly he was going about proposing the reorganization of the tennis association, and writing names in a fifteen-cent note-book bought for the purpose at Dyer's. When he came to Carol he was so excited over being an organizer that he did not stop to talk of himself and Aubrey Beardsley for more than ten minutes. He begged, "Will you get some of the folks to come in?" and she nodded agreeably.
A hundred times he took a ten-cent dessert instead of an exciting fifteen-cent strawberry shortcake, to save money for those parties. Yet always to him their real life was in simple jaunts out of doors, arranged without considering other people. Her father seemed glad of that. How is the automobile business going?"
There are two things that you simply have to do at the County Fair, or you aren't right sure you've been. Cider has to be just the least bit "frisky" to be good. I don't mean hard, but "frisky." And the other is to buy a whip, if it is only the little toy, fifteen-cent kind.
The cedar water bucket had been properly replenished; the jagged flange of a fifteen-cent chunk of ice protruded above the rim of the bucket; and alongside, on the appointed nail, hung the gourd dipper that the master always used.
He lit a fifteen-cent cigar and puffed away as if he were used to it. "Be your-a aunt," he said, "be-a anybody's aunt. You good-a feller." This sentiment led to another round of drinks, and then the pair tumbled into a cab, singing discordantly in two languages. Perkins fortunately remembered the address of Haines, and was able to mumble it so that the hackman could understand.
He took her to a restaurant of fifteen-cent breakfasts and twenty-five-cent dinners. It was the "parlor floor" of an old brownstone house two rooms, with eggy table-cloths, and moldings of dusty stucco. She avoided his presence as much as possible. Mrs.
The gate was open, and he walked inside and up to the president's table as confident as a man who knows the head waiter in a fifteen-cent restaurant. And I went with him, because I had only seventy-five cents, and there was nothing else to do. "The Gomez man rises from his chair, and looks, colored man as he was, like he was about to call out for corporal of the guard, post number one.
"The poison employed was crushed to a powder," and he mentioned the name of the stuff. "Used by photographers," commented Wicks. "Not exclusively, but at times, yes." "How was the stuff administered?" "I think in a fifteen-cent cigar." Garrison was watching him closely while apparently toying with a pen. "Very good," said Wicks with an air of satisfaction that was not exactly understandable.
An impecunious young man with care could make one fifteen-cent chrysanthemum of the Jarley order last through a whole season, and it could be colored to suit the wearer's taste with the ordinary paint-boxes that children so delight in; but in spite of this the celluloid chrysanthemum was a distinct failure, and Jarley had had his trouble for his pains, to say nothing of the cost of the model.
