As for Tilly, that young lady was swinging the shoulders atop of the little waist in a somewhat provocative fashion, only too conscious of the grey-blueness of her fine eyes, and the modish cut of her clothes.
She shrugged when I told her I had no reference, but occasionally she gave me an opportunity for an interview. There was something about me that, lacking a reference, impressed my would-be employers unfavorably; possibly it was the modish cut of the hundred-dollar spring suit I wore, or the shape of my hat. Anyhow, they all decided against me.
After all it behoved me to look well in her presence, and I regretted that the rogue had not shed his coat and breeches as well. No doubt they were equally modish and becoming, and would have set me up finely, though all the tailors in London town couldn't make me a match for Maclachlan. A man has to be born to fine clothes, like a bird to fine feathers, before he looks well in them.
Bob chased Ying into a corner, captured him, then took a 'bus up the Avenue to the College Club for luncheon. At three o'clock he returned, accompanied by four flushed young men whose names gave Kurtz a thrill. In spite of their modish appearance they declared themselves indecently shabby, and allowed Bob to order for them a favor which he performed with a Rajah's lofty disregard of expense.
"Indeed, I don't." She laughed frankly. "I am the picture of health." Stone, observing her fine coloring and clear eyes, silently agreed with her.

The restraining Paris corset gave to her luxuriant form a charming modish correctness of line. "Oh, Tom," she sank happily on the sofa beside him, "we're having the time of our lives!

The buckram rim, misshapen from too close quarters, flared rather outlandishly off her face, so that after she had pulled the bell she stood with her back to the sidewalk, while the sign above seared into her.
Happy, indeed, were all the Boston book-sellers; blessed of the gods! rich, witty, modish, beloved, beautiful! The colony was sixty years old, opulent, prosperous, and fashionable; but a book-seller cut the best figure. Surely the book trade had in Boston a glorious ushering in, a golden promise which has not yet deserted it.
