Something soft and furry sprang into my lap. It was Pompon, Le Brusquet's ape, and he looked into my face with soft, melancholy eyes. "Poor little beast!" and I stroked him. "You at least build no pyramids of cards." "Tudieu!" said a voice, "that is true, but for pulling them down he has no equal." And Le Brusquet appeared at the window, which opened out upon the balcony. I rose and came in.
The flower of the talipot is a tall, pyramidal spike of pale yellow blossoms, standing twenty feet above its heavy dark-green foliage like a huge military pompon. It is pronounced by botanists to be the noblest and largest flower in the world, and this is certainly so if we consider the whole clustering bloom as being one flower.
It is sewed in the same way as the circular mat. When the desired width of crown is obtained, begin the under side of the crown by narrowing off that is, taking two stitches in the crown and sewing them into one stitch in the web. Continue until the desired opening for the head is obtained. Two rows of web will complete the headband. Finish with a pompon on top. Use round web. Baby's Rattle
"What! because I called you Rodin instead of Charlemagne?" cried Rose Pompon, much regretting the pleasantry which she had carried on at the instigation of Ninny Moulin. "But really, sir," she added, "what can this joke have to do with the service that you were, about to render Jacques?" "I am not at liberty to tell you, my child. In truth, I am very sorry for poor Jacques.
In the locker-room they met, the placid sky-colored eyes of Miss Bundt meeting Miss Clark's in the wavy square of mirror. "Snowing, ain't it?" "Yep." "Gee! that's a nifty little hat, Min! Where'd you get the pompon?" "Five-and-Ten." "If it 'ain't got the Avenue written all over it." Silence. "Want some my powder, Min? Pink." "Nope."
There were two, Orrain and La Mothe, who is as well known to be of the prince's household as Vendôme himself is known to be a heretic." "Yes; a heretic too great to be touched. But he must pay his debts. I am going at once to see Vendôme. Stay here if you like. You know where to find the wine. No, Pompon, not to-night!" And pushing back the ape, who had made ready to follow him, he went off.
Adrienne started in alarm; but the countenance of Rose Pompon, just now so sad, brightened up joyously at this signal, and, clapping her hands she exclaimed, "It is Philemon!" "What who?" said Adrienne, hastily. "My lover; oh, the monster! he must have come upstairs on tiptoe, to take me by surprise with his crowing. Just like him!"
Cephyse was the first to think of this, and wishing to save her sister at least one humiliation, she turned towards the carriage, and said: "Rose Pompon, throw me down my cloak; and, Ninny Moulin, open the door directly!" Having received the cloak, the Bacchanal Queen hastily wrapped it round her sister, before the latter could speak or move.
Then designating every person at the different card-tables, she said, "That lady is the wife of M. , and there is M. le Baron de L her lover, the gentleman who looks over her cards and that other lady with the joli pompon, she is intimate with M. de la Tour, the husband of the lady who passed with M. le Duc."
Their hot breath scorched the back of her neck and swayed the red-flannel pompon on her bonnet. Every one on Broadway held his breath, with the exception of a man on the front stoop of the Castor House, whose breath had got beyond his control. Every one was horrified and turned away with a shudder, which rattled the telegraph wires for two blocks.
