That it appeared from the best historians of those times, that they frequently sent their clothes to the fuller, to be clean'd and whitened: but that the inferior people, to avoid that expence, generally wore brown clothes, and of a something coarser texture, till towards the beginning of Augustus's reign, when the slave dressed like his master, and almost every distinction of habiliment was lost, but the Latus Clavus.
As the procession of fierce warriors, decked in the fullest glory of savage habiliment, moved slowly down the street, frightened faces gazed furtively at them from behind half-closed blinds, while the regular tap of the unseen drum seemed to assume an angrier tone, as though impatient to break forth in the furious rattle of a "charge."
Leary's collar yoke at the rear; the other closed upon a handful of slack material in the lower breadth of Mr. Leary's principal habiliment just below where his buttons left off. "So you won't come, won't you? Well then I'll show you you pink strawberry drop!"
Not twenty yards from my dwelling, I overtook a little creature, a boy of about eight or nine years old, dressed in of all the cold things in the world a hard corduroy habiliment, intended to have fitted closely to him; but his wretched, frozen-up form, seemed to have retreated from the dress, and sunk within itself. I believe he had not another stitch upon him.
Her dazzling complexion, rich auburn hair, and graceful attitudes, accorded ill with the rusty black frock which was the mourning habiliment for her maternal parent, and the expression of her features was that of natural joyousness, tempered, but not wholly suppressed, by thoughtfulness beyond her years.
"Wife," said Phellion, suddenly, "get me my black coat and a white cravat." "Where are you going?" asked Madame Phellion. "To the minister, to thank him?" "Bring me, I say, those articles of habiliment. I have an important visit to make; and Monsieur le maire will, I know, excuse me." "I myself must be off," said Minard. "I, too, have important business, though it isn't about a star."
And there, coming smiling down the midst, easily as one might down the aisle of an empty church, was Irma herself, as plain and poor in habiliment as my dream, but smiling ah, with a smile that turned all my heart to water, so dear it was. It was good of God to let us love each other like that and be poor.
"Do you imagine," cried his uncle, laying his hand gently on the reverend habiliment, "that this grows?" "What is on my head grows," said young Henry, "and so does that which is upon my father's." "But now you are come to Europe, Henry, you will see many persons with such things as these, which they put on and take off." "Why do you wear such things?"
"From the private closet, which Marie Antoinette reserved to herself, and had now opened to her milliner, she would retire, after the great points of habiliment were accomplished, to those who were waiting with memorials at her public toilet, where the hairdresser would finish putting the ornaments in Her Majesty's hair. "The King made Marie Antoinette a present of Le Petit Trianon.
Also he had a secret joy in the fact that his shirt that is, his outer and most visible shirt was a coarse garment of blue flannel, a very virile and knightly tabard with large white buttons, which Mother had never let him wear in public. It was such a noble habiliment as a fireman might have worn, or a longshoreman, or Dan'l Boone.
