But no Parish ever sent presents that needed to be tried on. No gay, fluffy scarfs, no lacey, frivolous pettiskirts, no bright delaying hat-ribbons! Just books, illustrated poems usually, very wholesome pickles, and always a huge motto to recommend, "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men." To "Men"? Why not to Women? Why not at least to "Dogs?" questioned Flame quite abruptly.
He sent over a pair of shawls, a white one for her and a black one with palm-leaves for her mother, and a pair of red scarfs, as winter wrappers, for old Mr. Sedley and George. The shawls were worth fifty guineas apiece at the very least, as Mrs. Sedley knew. She wore hers in state at church at Brompton, and was congratulated by her female friends upon the splendid acquisition.
And Aunt Nancy has ordered black scarfs to be put above the pictures of Uncle Henry and of Great-Aunt Jacqueline that Jacqueline's named for. Oh, oh!" "And Deb?" asked the young man gently. "Deb is at Cousin Jane Selden's. She has been there with Jacqueline a week she and Miranda. Oh, I know Uncle Dick is a just man! He does what he thinks is the just thing.
There were no soldiers, only a lot of civilians on horseback, with huge yellow scarfs over their shoulders, riding around the carriage. Never before was such a compact jam in front of the White House all the grounds fill'd, and away out to the spacious sidewalks.
Outside there are rows of handsome women with decollete gowns and shining black hair and colored silk scarfs selling fruit and down the one street which faces the bay are a double row of palms and the store where two American boys have a phonograph. They are the only Americans I have met who have or are taking a dollar out of this country. They play the guitar and banjo very well.
There ain't many that can appreciate a thing like that in this village. I would not venture to run the risk myself, but if it was anything in the way of finery now, it would be different. If you will embroider some of those gay scarfs and slippers, and some more of the children's fixins, I'll buy them, for they take mightily."
At the end of the range, near the target, was a raised seat bedecked with ribbons and scarfs and garlands of flowers, for the Sheriff of Nottingham and his dame. The range was twoscore paces broad. At one end stood the target, at the other a tent of striped canvas, from the pole of which fluttered many-colored flags and streamers.
Few of the boys owned overcoats and the same suit served each of us for summer and winter alike. In lieu of ulsters most of us wore long, gay-colored woolen scarfs wound about our heads and necks scarfs which our mothers, sisters or sweethearts had knitted for us. Our footwear continued to be boots of the tall cavalry model with pointed toes and high heels.
In addition to the many strands of beads which encircle the neck and fall over the chest, a broad bead band is often worn over one shoulder, passing under the opposite arm near the waist. Scarfs of colored cloth are also worn in this manner when the ladies are on dress parade.
They pulled up their cloaks again and tied their scarfs. Matilda looked on sorrowfully. "I suppose it's no use to ask you to come and see us," said Letty. "I can't come often," Matilda answered, "because, you know, I cannot walk there; and I cannot have the carriage except now and then." "How do you suppose we get along without a carriage?" said Letty. "You are older.
