My mamma wouldn't let me go to the table with such hair as this. Prudy'd say 'twas 'harum scarum. But I can't brush it with a tooth-comb, 'thout any glass so there!" Dotty's curly hair looked quite as respectable as Mandoline's. Mrs. Rosenberg was far too busy to attend to her children's heads. They might be rough on the outside, and full of mischief inside; but she could not stop to inquire.

She'll have her heels through before you know where you are. She's a demon to kick, is Scarum." Scarum had spared the splash-board this time, but she was going furiously, and the little dog-cart rocked from side to side. Mrs. Nevill Tyson rose to her feet. "Strikes me you can't drive a little bit," said she. "Please sit down, Mrs. Tyson." But Mrs.

Terrence Malone, with all his frivolity and tendency toward ludicrousness, had a remarkable amount of shrewdness in his composition. He was a bold, harum scarum fellow, as liable to pull the beard of a king, as to kick a pauper. Though he had fared well for an impressed seaman, Terrence had no love for Great Britain. Like others of his race, he made a noble American.

When she was not chattering to him she was encouraging Scarum with all sorts of endearments, small chirping sounds and delicate chuckles, smiling that indefinably malicious, lop-sided smile which Stanistreet had been taught all his life to interpret as a challenge.

I didn't like you at first, because I thought you were a harum scarum like your friend, John Henry; but now that you've developed such manly traits of character I'm going to take four thousand of your money, put the same amount in for Alice, and start you in business. Say, John, I wanted to go through the parlor floor and on through the earth and then out through the busiest fort at Port Arthur, and let a Jap shell knock my silly head off."

"Take a photograph without a lens?" said Percival in a tone of doubt, mixed with scorn. "You must be crazy!" Several of the boys thought the same as Dick, and laughed heartily at what they considered one of Billy's harum scarum schemes.

"If I forget everything else I shall never forget you and those villains, Harum and Scarum and their snakes. I hope it won't be my lot ever to clap eyes on them again, Mr. Quatermain, and yet somehow I don't feel so sure of that." "Nor do I," I replied, with a kind of inspiration, after which followed the episode of the rejected tip.

Harriot Freke had, without comparison, more assurance than any man or woman I ever saw; she was downright brass, but of the finest kind Corinthian brass. She was one of the first who brought what I call harum scarum manners into fashion. I told you that she had assurance impudence I should have called it, for no other word is strong enough.

It was not that Florence seemed to take any more care of herself than the others, but she was naturally one of those favored beings to whom no particle of dust could cling, who could use none but the choicest language. Such gentle children have admirers enough; it is the luckless, quick-tempered Pollies, the warm-hearted, harum- scarum Jeans, who need a champion.

She once met with an adventure worth relating. A young harum scarum Italian was a friend of my mother's, and was often at our house. A young lady, to whom he was much devoted, had a fancy for cats. He resolved, at the Christmas season, to gratify this taste of hers, as well as his own love of all sorts of vagaries. Christmas fell on Monday.
