Stebbins threw himself into the affair with all the tact and ardor of an experienced legal mind and soon after Lucinda’s return to her home allowed Arethusa to follow suit, the hopeful younger brother of the latter became a candidate for his second outfit of new sweaters and hat bands that year. Aunt Mary wrote him a letter upon the occasion of his new start in life, Mr.
But they must be healthy, these people who go about with only a thin sheet of dyed cotton thrown about them, while we northerners shivered with sweaters and warm woolen things about us. It's all a case of getting used to it, just as it is a case of getting used to seeing people frankly and unconsciously naked, as many of these people are.
Leather jackets and sweaters lay on boxes under the tent-walls, and heavy boots stood in disorderly array along the foot of the cots. These McCloud, with apologies, kicked into the corners. "Is this where you stay?" asked Dicksie. "Four of us sleep in the cots, when we can, and an indefinite number lie on the ground when it rains." Marion looked around her. "What do you do when it thunders?"
There was the inevitable tundra, of course, but it seemed less all-pervading it had finally met with some competition. There were many curves and sharp turns where the boats in tow would have been wrecked but for the men who, wrapped in their sweaters and coats, steered them. The stream averaged hardly two feet in depth. Frequently the fraction of an inch meant progress or failure.
It is a common practice for sweaters to take on learners, that is to say, to employ young girls for a certain time to learn the machine part of the work; but they get no wages for say five or six weeks or so, or two months, and after that time, if competent, they receive two or three shillings per week.
"What's your hurry, little one?" "It ain't mine; it belongs to the management." "Won't you join us?" "Herm, that job-lot of sweaters " "Oh, come on, little Jingle Bells!" "My friend, too?" "Sure your friend." They teetered, the two of them like animated dolls, arm in arm, and so at ease. "Here, you little Black Curls, sit next to me, and you, Blondey, over there by my brother-in-law."
And then about the first of June there comes a day when I find myself going over the fishing-tackle unearthed by the spring house-cleaning and sorting out of inextricable confusion the family's supply of sweaters, old riding-breeches, puttees, rough shoes, trout-flies, quirts, ponchos, spurs, reels, and old felt hats.
Berry, getting permission to exchange it if it should be a misfit. Alicia ordered the sweaters sent to her uncle's house, and the bill sent to her father. This arrangement seemed perfectly satisfactory to the shop people, and the girls set off for home. "I feel uncomfortable about that sweater," announced Dolly, as they were on their way.
These "natural" fluctuations, added to ordinary trade irregularities, favour the employment of "outdoor" workers in sweaters' dens or at home, and require in these trades, as conducted at present, the existence of an enormous margin of "casual" workers.
The lights were out by this time and the Incurables had come back to the house and ferreted places for themselves among the tangled golf suits and 'Varsity sweaters. Duncan had a lamp on the table where he was "bossing a rabbit"; Pellams said this was the only kind of lab-work in zoology in which Bob could get credit.
