"Mother," he said, pulling at his coat lapels with a squaring of shoulders, "youyou going to be a dead game little sport?" She was looking ahead now, abstraction growing in her white face.

Wide-shouldered and flat-hipped, her checked suit so pressed that the lapels lay entirely flat to the swell of her bosom, her red sailor-hat well down over her brow, and the high, swathing cravat rising to inclose her face like a wimple, she was Fashion's apotheosis in tailor-made mood.

I'll" "Charley," she said, lifting herself by his coat lapels, and her eyes again so closely level with his, "you're crazy with the heatstark, raving crazy!

The smoke-lapels of the cone-shaped tepee flapped gently in the breeze.

From the low night sky, with its myriad fire points, a large bright star peeped in at the smoke-hole of the wigwam between its fluttering lapels, down upon two Dakotas talking in the dark.

In the afternoon shadow of a large tepee, with red-painted smoke lapels, sat a warrior father with crossed shins.

For this he was entitled to the red-painted smoke lapels on his cone-shaped dwelling.

But this coat had the collar and wide sharply pointed lapels and deep cuffs now known as "directoire," and its skirts were full, and so long that they touched the right side of the saddle, and skirts, lapels, collar and cuffs were trimmed with gold braid almost an inch wide.

The waistcoat, the vest, as Sir Walter calls it, not knowing the risk that he ran in this half century of being considered as speaking American, had a smaller, but similar, collar and lapels, work outside those of the coat, and the "man's tie" was of soft white muslin, and a muslin sleeve and ruffles were visible at the wrists.

And if I portrayed the scene with anything like adequate skill, the picture you will have retained of this Fink-Nottle will have been that of a nervous wreck, sagging at the knees, green about the gills, and picking feverishly at the lapels of his coat in an ecstasy of craven fear.

"We can arrange some ground ofof common action, some" He settled the lapels of his great-coat with precision, addressed his palm to the knob of his stick, and marched stiffly out of the library, around the piazza, and along the dismantled walk to the front gate.

His robe was of pure white wool, thrown over a tunic of silk; and a white, pointed cap, with long lapels at the sides, rested on his flowing black hair.

His overcoat was lined with astrakan, and this important fact was casually betrayed at the lapels and at the sleeves.

The angular bows on the hat, the geometric lines of the broad hat-brim, the precise cut of the lapels on the corsage, the neat throat-band and V-shaped vestureall insinuate in a most engaging way a dignity and fine, high-bred poise totally obliterated by the circular style of dress erroneously adopted by the misguided woman in No. 26.

His hands left their task of counting notes, seized an imaginary person by the lapels of an imaginary coat and shook him violently.

How could I have rebelled against the stepping-stone of my exaltation?" His face relaxed a little, and he concluded almost quizzically: "Was not Satan hurled from high heaven for resisting authority?" She pouted, caught him by the lapels of his coat and prettily tried to shake him.

He strolled up and down the vestibule a long time, chewing rabidly on a cigar, and finally decided to accost the porter, an astute brunette whose blue lapels embroidered with keys of gold were peeping over the edge of his writing desk, taking in everything, informing himself of everything, while he appeared to be asleep.

He wore his splendid full-dress suit, a wonderful creation of San Juan's leading tailor, who, at Ambrose's tasteful suggestion, had faced the lapels with satin of the most royal purple.

She was the one thing at that moment that could comfort and he opened his arms to her and let her come nestling in against him, both hands finding their way up under the lapels of his coat, all the exquisite confidence of the innocent child in her look.

The night was as keen as the edge of a newly-ground sword; breath froze on the coat-lapels in snow; the nose became without sensation, and the eyes wept bitterly because the horses were in a hurry to get home; and whirling through air at zero brings tears.

Suddenly she took the lapels of his torn coat in either hand.

She laughed, and said, "Fifty dollars; but you see how many lapels it has.

" Juanita looked at him a moment, and then suddenly darted at him, caught him by the lapels of his coat and shook him like a terrier.

If you will excuse personal remarks your coat lapels are badly twisted downward where they have been grasped by the pertinacious New York reporters.
