A suit such as a day labourer might wear a factory worker, one of the poorer class." The salesman heightened his manifestation of sympathy. "Well, sir" he deliberated, tapping his brow with a pencil, scanning the long line of garments "I'm afraid we're not stocked with what you wish. Best go to a costumer, sir, and rent one for the night perhaps."

I calculated that by hustling I could reach Blankshire either at ten or ten-thirty. That would be early enough for my needs. And now to route out a costumer. All I needed was a grey mask. I had in my apartments a Capuchin's robe and cowl. I rose, lighting a cigarette. The girl looked up from her coffee. "Back to the dime-museum?" banteringly. "I have a few minutes to spare," said I.

Those who admired Helen Rexhill at Washington social functions never saw her look more lovely than she did at this moment of meeting with Wade, for the reason that all the skill of the costumer could not beautify her so much as the radiance of love now in her face. The dress she wore was far from inexpensive, but it was cut with the art which conceals art, and to Wade it appeared simple.

He applied the mixture to Leslie's moustache, the member over it being drawn up considerably at times as if the bouquet of one of Hackley's summer gutters was rising; but in less than two minutes, as the costumer had said, the smell ceased, the mixture was dry, and Tom Leslie had a moustache grayish-white enough to have belonged to Sulpizio.

And, sure enough in one of the largest, way up amongst the topmost branches, sat the Costumer in his red velvet and short clothes and his diamond knee-buckles. He looked down between the green boughs. "Good-morning, friends!" he shouted. The Aldermen shook their gold-headed canes at him, and the people danced round the tree in a rage. Then they began to climb.

What! would M. Verduret think of appearing at a ball given by the wealthiest and most fashionable bankers in Paris? This accounted for his sending to the costumer. "Then you are invited to this ball?" The expressive eyes of M. Verduret danced with amusement. "Not yet," he said, "but I shall be." Oh, the inconsistency of the human mind! Prosper was tormented by the most serious preoccupations.

Draper, the costumer, and he was anxious to see the star of the evening, to "put up," as he expressed himself, for the costumes before the curtain went up. At this stage of the proceedings Fogg, now fully dressed for the gardener's son, appeared. He was immediately buttonholed by the costumer for the amount of his bill. "After the performance, when we count up, my dear Mr.

"Yours," said he. "Do I have to have some new clothes?" Montague asked. "You haven't any clothes at present," was the reply. Montague was standing in front of the "costumer," as the elaborate mirror was termed. He looked himself over, and then he looked at his brother.

"Now go home, and take the costumes off your children," said the Costumer, "and leave me in peace to eat cherries!" Then the people hastened back to the city and found, to their great delight, that the costumes would come off. The pins staid out, the buttons staid unbuttoned, and the strings staid untied.

A perfect theatrical performance must harmonise the work of many men. The dramatist, the actors main and minor, the stage-manager, the scene-painter, the costumer, the leader of the orchestra, must all contribute their separate talents to the production of a single work of art.
