So her thoughts ran. "But they are the Rockwoods and they don't have to care.
If her jacket or basque is finished off with a skirt effect, it is best to have the little skirt swerve away just at the hip-line, half revealing and half concealing it. The front should be made in a jacket effect, finishing just at the waist-line and opening over a blouse front that will conceal the waist-line.
Bud kissed the book mechanically, hooked his feet together and, clasping his big hands across his waist-line, settled his great body between the arms of the chair, with his chin resting on his shirt-front. Cartwright, in his most impressive manner, stepped a foot closer to Bud's chair. "Mr.
In season, and particularly during the frenzied dog-days of August, when the fate of the new waist-line or his daring treatment of cloth of silver hung yet in the balance, and the spirit of Detroit must be browbeaten by the dictum of the sleeveless thing in evening frocks, Leon Kessler himself smoked a day-long chain of cigarettes, lighting one off the other.
Then Lloyd's gaze wandered from the airy structure of chiffon and flowers down Gay's back to her waist-line. "Mercy, child!" she exclaimed. "You've lost your belt.

With this he wore the sombrero of the country, and the combination carried a rakish effect that was positively sinister.
No matter how beautiful may be the voice, or how well placed, no amount of enthusiasm or temperament can atone for a meaningless or unintelligent treatment of the intellectual, emotional, and musical characteristics of the song as a whole.

His fiancée's inattention was not agreeable to Quarrier.
Herr Schimmelpodt was prevailed upon, by Mr. Morton, to come around on another evening to show some further feats with his great strength.
