Looking around the room, he noticed an oak bucket that was already full and which was just the right size for his sculpture. He quickly secured it in place in the papier maché Dorothy's hands. "If this doesn't get a lot of loud cheers from the crowd, nothing will!" He rubbed his paws with glee. The day of the big parade came swiftly.
Their Chiefs were, with their names translated into pronounceable English, "the Premier," "the Black Robe," "the Black Man," while seemingly Mache Wheskab "the Noisy Man" represented the Assiniboines. The Crees, so well represented by their doughty Chiefs, are a sturdy race. They adapt themselves readily enough to new conditions.
First, there is the stereotyping or casting of the line in its position in the type-setting machine after the matrices have been ranged in position by the application of the fingers to the various keys; and, secondly, when all the lines have been placed together to make a page, it is necessary to take an impression of them upon papier mâché, or what is technically called "flong," and then to dry it and make the full cast from it curved and ready for placing on the cylinder of the printing machine.
Saifula Baba handed us tea and sweetmeats, after the fashion of his country; and we adjourned to the abode of a worker in papier mache, where we underwent a second edition of tea and sweetmeats, and inspected a number of curiosities.

Good live-goose feather pillows sell for from $3 to $7, depending on the size, and should be provided with extra cotton slips, buttoning on, to protect the tick. The feather bolster has had its day. Its descendant, the bedroll of hair, paste-board, or papier maché, is for ornament only, and is used as a finish at the head of the bed with fancy draperies or coverings, which it matches.
I should have liked The Flood better if it had had more living figures and less papier mache, though I am not ashamed to admit that I have no idea how this could have been done.
Marietta joined her brown old hands together, and separated them, like a swimmer, in a gesture that swept the horizon. Her eyes snapped. "All Lombardy?" said Peter, without emotion. Marietta stared again. "All Lombardy? Mache!" was her scornful remonstrance. "Nobody owns all Lombardy. All these lands, these houses." "Who is she?" Peter asked.
Ward, and had some talk which she might have enjoyed but for her suspense. On the third, Rosita was made happy by unpacking an elegant little black papier mache table, a present from Miss Ponsonby.
