I want to get warm before I go to Putnam's." Hi put on his muffler, mits and cap each with a favorite "swear word," such as "ding it," "dum it," "darn it." Nevertheless he wisely concluded to take the half dollar from him and save it for the spring crop of circuses. Anna started to leave the room, but Sanderson's peremptory "Stay here, I've got to talk to you," detained her.
She was much wrinkled, yet her cheeks were rather pink and her lips very vivid. Janice wondered if it was possible that this color was put on by hand. The woman sat in a rocking chair with her long hands folded idly in her lap. On the hands were white "half mits" something Janice knew were long out of fashion but which were once considered very stylish indeed.
Miss Moodle and her mits, self and lemon kids, even the sleepless eye of Barker, watching for an indiscretion, upon the strength of which he might defensibly send somebody to bed the next Saturday afternoon, all vanished from before me, swallowed up in a mild glory, which contained but two objects, an angel with low neck and short sleeves, and an insensate hippopotamus of a piano, which did not wriggle all over with ecstasy when her white fingers tickled him.

As a rule everything that had to be purchased out of a store was dear, while the prices of country produce were exactly the reverse.
"No," Josiah Allen continued, "there hain't no sense in that but mit! there you have sense. All wimmen wear mits; they love 'em. She most probable had a good pair, and lost one on 'em, and then give the other to the church.
First the felt boots and felt slippers made by Jaeger and then summer wind clothes and fur mits nothing could be better than these articles. They are excellent in quality.
