The seashore doesn't agree with her as it does with you, Patty." "I know it," said Patty, who loved hot weather. "Well, perhaps you'd better go, then; but it will be just BOILING on the train." "No more so than here," said Nan, smiling. She wore a light pongee silk travelling gown, which was the coolest garb she could think of. "But what's bothering me is that Mrs. Parsons hasn't arrived yet."
Then Gordon Lee turned toward her and said confidentially: "I wished we knowed some corpse we could sell dat coffin to." When a jovial young person in irreproachable pongee, and a wholly reproachable brown topi, scrambled up the lifting gang-plank of the big Pacific liner, setting sail from Yokohama, he was welcomed with acclaim.
Poor Jr. and I were waiting at the door when the carriage galloped up. How the crowd rushed to see that lady whom it bore to us, blushing and laughing! Clouds of gold-dust came before my eyes again; she wore once more that ineffable grey pongee! Servants ran forward with the effects of Poor Jr. and we both sprang toward the carriage. A flower-girl was offering a great basket of loose violets.
"May I ask who this lover is that I am so much beneath, Hulda I, who have taught you the accomplishments you chastise me with? I found you sand; I made you crystal."

Hervey made a quick inspection of Tom's pongee shirt, but all he saw there was the front with buttons gone and the brown chest showing. "I couldn't pin it on there very well, could I?" Tom said, lured by his companion's eagerness into a little show of amusement. "Where is it?" Hervey demanded. "I'm letting a girl wear it," Tom said. "Oh, what I know about you!" Hervey said, teasingly.
She had on a simple little frock of pink linen, with a sailor collar of fine white embroidery, and a big black velvet bow at her throat. She wore no hat but her golden hair was partly confined by a band of black velvet. She had a light dust coat of pongee silk, though Jim had told her there was a warmer coat in the car if she should want it.
She wore an impeccable pongee silk, simple and costly, and her hands had evidently never known the roughening of work. In one way and another Miss Benton straightway conceived an active dislike for Linda Abbey. As her reception of Paul's sister was not conducive to chumminess, Paul did not bring Linda again. But he came oftener than Stella desired to be bothered with him.
These are two pieces of pongee, which will do for wadded coats and jupes as well. In this bundle are two pieces of silk, for you to make clothes with, for the end of the year. This is a box containing various home-made cakes.
