"Inchcaldy, my dear, spelled CALDY, but pronounced CAWDY; the town where you are to take your nonsensical little fripperies to be laundered." "Where is Inchcaldy? How far away?" "About five miles, I believe, but a lovely road."

I can't bear spending money on fripperies when even in our own parish so many people " Some glimmering perception reached him of the repressed anguish in Isabel's eyes. "But of course you must have what you need. How much is it?" "Oh, my dear! That seems a great deal." "It isn't really much for a best dress," said poor Isabel. "But you mustn't be extravagant, darling," said Mr. Stafford tenderly.

They have the finest streets and theaters and cafes in the world. There things are run by men for men. The food is the best of all no French fripperies, but solid rare cuts. Drinking is an art " "What is that out in the water?" she idly demanded. He gazed impatiently over the unscored tide and saw a dark infinitesimal blot. "I have been watching it for a long while," she continued.

Her bedroom had none of the Puritanical primness which marked her habit of dress; it was in no way suggestive of the masculine character which she so proudly paraded upon the street. On the contrary, it was a bower of daintiness, and was crowded with all the senseless fripperies of a school-girl.

Mrs Asplin and I want to look at the shops, and groan in chorus over all the distracting fripperies which we want so badly, and can't afford.

Sceaux was more than ever the theatre of her follies, and of the shame and embarrassment of her husband, by the crowd from the Court and the town, which abounded there and laughed at them. Whole nights were passed in coteries, games, fetes, illuminations, fireworks, in a word, fancies and fripperies of every kind and every day.
