Then he shaved, anointing his face after the careful manner of college boys. This satisfactorily completed, he fished in his duffle bag to find his tooth brush and soap. His hair he arranged painstakingly with a pair of military brushes. He further manipulated a nail-brush vigorously, and ended with manicuring his nails.
"Where are you going?" asked Ruth, as she saw her sister dressing for the street. "Out." "Out where? I must know." "Well, if you must, I'm going to make the rounds of the manicuring parlors." "Oh, Alice, I hate to have you do it. Some of those places where men go " "I'm only going to apply at the ladies' parlors." "Oh, well, I I suppose it's the only thing to do."
Halfway across the field, as the path curved round some bushes, Springer came upon Herbert Rackliff, sitting on a stone, manicuring his nails with the file blade of a pearl-handled knife, a cigarette clinging to his moistened lower lip. "Hello," said Herbert, with no intonation of surprise, as he looked up. "How do you happen to be dodging across this way, Springer?" Phil was annoyed.

If only he could hang on until he accomplished his end! Symes stopped manicuring his nails with a pin, which he kept in the lapel of his coat for that commendable purpose, and counted his money. He was thankful that since he had overdrawn his account he had done it so liberally as, by strict economy, it would enable him to remain a short while and depart with his credit still unimpaired.
That's the worst of having the doctor living in the house. Such a nuisance!" She spent halt an hour manicuring her nails and then, still feeling wide-awake, decided on a bath.

You feel happy to pay people big salaries for talking baseball?" "No; of course not; but how can I help it? A man can't hire reliable help for love or money in this town, and I haven't got time to watch all of 'em."
