The old style was continued, however, by men having no rank and by youths. A child's hair was looped on the temples in imitation of the flower of a gourd hence called hisago-bana and women wore their tresses hanging free. The institution of caps interfered also with the use of hairpins, which were often made of gold and very elaborate.
Lathrop, an' I know that from my heels to my hairpins an' I said it to Elijah last night, an' I'm goin' to say it to you now an' that is that if I could n't of stood him I would n't of stood him, for this is the age when women as read the papers don't stand nothin' they don't want to an' I would n't neither." "I " said Mrs. Lathrop.
"Your boy's clothes fooled them, if they saw you at all. They probably thought I was carrying Sautee down the trail, for they found Sautee up there in the powder house with me." The girl sobbed again. Her eyes were red with weeping. "Listen, ma'am," said Rathburn gently. "I picked these up from the road the day the truck driver was held up." He brought out two hairpins from his coat pocket.
I think that most people who know me know that I am a man of my word. On the following morning, before breakfast, I went into the High Street to buy a pennyworth of hairpins. The short cut from our road into the High Street is down Bloodstone Terrace. It was in Bloodstone Terrace that I witnessed a sight which pained and surprised me very much. It disgusted me.
"And see this one, Eda he's a 'Harpy Eagle. There's somebody we know looks just like that. Wait a minute I'll tell you it's the woman who sits in the cashier's cage at Grady's." "If it sure isn't!" said Eda. "She has the same fluffy, light hair hairpins can't keep it down, and she looks at you in that same sort of surprised way with her head on one side when you hand in your check."
But now Satin was rolling on the bearskins in the bedroom and calling her. "Oh, do come! Do come!" Nana undressed in the dressing room, and in order to be quicker about it she took her thick fell of blonde hair in both hands and began shaking it above the silver wash hand basin, while a downward hail of long hairpins rang a little chime on the shining metal.
"Then I'll call for you and we'll go up past the sandpit to that hilltop where the breeze blows even on a day like this." When Martin came for her she was ready, a lunch tucked under one arm, two old pillows in the other. She had given the red hair a few pats, added several hairpins, slipped off her white dress and buttoned up a pale green chambray one with cool white collar and cuffs.
And suddenly, in the midst of indifferent things, she told him, "I say, Marko, I'm going to marry Lord Tybar." And his reply, the model of indifference. "Are you, Nona?" Nothing else said of it between them. There would certainly have been more discussion if she had said she was going to buy a packet of hairpins.
But if " He hesitated. "Yes if?" "If Olivetta were only to marry some one some decent fellow she'd blossom out, grow as young as she actually is and, who knows, perhaps even her hairpins might stay in." "Marry, yes. But whom?" "I've seen a few things there's a certain party and " He stumbled a bit, conscious that he was becoming indiscreet.
Then she came and stood in front of the cheap little glass, and surveyed herself. There were blisters in the glass that twisted her head into a grotesque shape. The hairpins stuck into her head. Lizzie had tied a spotted veil tight over her nose and eyes. The collar of the silk waist was frayed, and cut her neck. The skirt-band was too tight, and the gloves were torture.
