The bear and the man that strike alternately a wooden anvil with a ditto hammer are scarcely less exciting to the infantile mind; but, being of wood, they are steady boarders permanently attached each to his ward. The dominos fell to the lot of the male scarlets.
"A small leak will sink a ship." "At a great penny worth pause awhile." "Silks and satins, scarlets and velvets, put out the kitchen fire." "Always taking out of the meal-tub, and never putting in, soon comes to the bottom." "It is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one in fuel." "A penny saved is a penny earned." "A penny saved is two-pence clear." "A pin a day is a groat a year."
As for the Exposition of 1915, when I say that for many Californians, it will take the edge off some of the beauty of Europe, I am quite serious. For it was colored in the gorgeous gamut of the Orient, clamant yellows, oranges, golds, combined with mysterious blues, muted scarlets.
"Toss-pots, my ears are to be burned and foul aspersions cast upon a liver, till then spotless. Am I discouraged? No. Emboldened rather. In short, I will attend the rout." "At last," sighed Daphne.

The crude blues and scarlets of banners were fluttering, like so many pennants, in the light breeze. Beneath the improvised altar-roofs strips of gay cloth stretched across poles stuck into the ground were groups not often seen in these less fervent centuries.
We fell under the land presently, and passed near the northern cape of Flat-Rock Bay, a grand headland of red sandstone, a vast and dome-like pile, fleeced at the summit with green turf and shrubs of fir. The sun, at last, was really setting. There was the old magnificence of the king of day, airy deeps of ineffable blue and pearl, stained with scarlets and crimsons, and striped with living gold.
And as Katherine drew near, threading her way carefully between the Chinese cabinets, oriental jars, and many quaint treasures furnishing the end of the great room, she saw that, along the grass ride, some twenty race-horses, came streeling homeward in single file a long line of brown, chestnut, black, and of the raw yellows and scarlets of horse-clothing against the delicate green of springing turf and opening leaves.
