"Ye be palish this marnin', Peter!" said he, dabbing at me suddenly with his pipe-stem; "shouldn't wonder if you was to tell me as your appetite was bad; come now ye didn't eat much of a breakfus' this marnin', did ye?" "I don't think I did, Ancient." "A course not!" said the old man, with a nod of profound approval " it aren't to be expected.
Out in the open shed, or lean-to? 'Cause she's a great notion of leavin' it off to 'air' as if a cistern that hasn't had no water in it for fifteen twenty years wasn't dry as a pipe-stem a'ready or needed 'airin''! Gen'ally, after she's been out there I take a look 'round myself.
This aroused my curiosity; and I asked Manyemon to tell the pipe-stem seller that we had a number of pipes needing fresh stems, which was true. Presently the cartlet drew up at our gate, and I went to look at it. The child was not afraid, even of a foreign face, a pretty boy.
Having thus fulfilled duty and relieved conscience, he exchanged the finger for the pipe-stem, and began to smoke. The spoiled, as well as despoiled, child uttered a howl of indignation, and staggered off to its mother; but she received it with a smile of affectionate indifference, whereupon the injured creature went back to the tent, howling, and, apparently, howled itself to sleep.
How 'bout that forty-five and a half, brother Tony, if you don't mind condescending to explain?" "Forty-five and a half?" muttered Anthony, mystified.

And Carew, as his eyes followed the pointing pipe-stem, was forced to give his assent. It was now five days since, with scores of their mates, Weldon and Carew had been passed from their medical examination to the double test of their riding and their shooting.
A lamp sits on the bed, the length of the long pipe-stem from the smoker's mouth; he puts a pellet of opium on the end of a wire, sets it on fire, and plasters it into the pipe much as a Christian would fill a hole with putty; then he applies the bowl to the lamp and proceeds to smoke and the stewing and frying of the drug and the gurgling of the juices in the stem would well-nigh turn the stomach of a statue.
He's married and got a kid three years old. Lives in Gary." "You don't mean to say you're little Wilbur? Little freckle-faced Wilbur with the pipe-stem legs?" Mr. Webster's nephew took a chair near the stove, unbuttoned his overcoat, and held his hands to the fire. He was a tall, rather awkward young man, with large ears, a turned-up nose and a prominent "Adam's Apple."
"Williamson," he directed, "just step outside and see if Eph is there!" Hardly noting the unusual ring in the young commander's voice, the machinist, still with the pipe-stem between his teeth, rose and walked out into the open. With an almost inarticulate yell Captain Jack Benson leaped after him, striking the man in the back and sending him spinning a dozen feet beyond.
The disfiguring wrinkles that make many necks unsightly may be kept in obeyance by massaging. No matter what the fashion in neck-gear, the aged must modify it to suit their needs. An old lady with a thin, pipe-stem neck should adopt a full ruche and fluffy, soft collar-bands.
