It was dark and V-shaped, like the gable of a roof.

EARSSmall and V-shaped, of moderate thickness, set well on the head, and dropping forward closely to the cheek.

Much capital has been made, by those who opposed his claims, out of the fact that this primitive apparatus could only produce a V-shaped mark, thus \/|| |/\/ |/\/|/ and not a dot and a dash, which they insist was of later introduction and by another hand.

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.

The V-shaped vesture gives her a longer waist, and the long lines of the revers add to the length of her skirt.

The V-shaped arrangement, either in cut or trimmings, apparently increases her "longness and leanness."

V-shaped effects and long-pointed basques are as becoming to those burdened with flesh as they are unbecoming to tall, thin women.

[Illustration: NOS. 65 and 66] It is plain to be seen that the unattractive specimen of femininity, No. 65., with the long, wrinkled neck and sharply lined face is unbecomingly costumed in the V-shaped basque and corsage which apparently elongate her natural lankness.

He was hopelessly round-shouldered from much and careless riding, and in attempting to straighten he only succeeded in throwing back his head, so that his lean neck generally was in a V-shape with the Adam's apple as the apex of the wedge.

1, The sensitive sole; 2, the sensitive frog[A](a) its median lacuna, (6) its lateral lacuna; 3. V-shaped depression accommodating the toe-stay; 4, the sensitive laminæ which interleave with the horny laminæ of the bar.]

At the point of the toe this membrane sometimes shows a V-shaped depression, into which fits a inverted V-shaped prominence on the inner surface of the wall at this point.

At the bottom of the internal face, at the point where the toe joins the sole, will be noted the before-mentioned inverted V-shaped prominence.

In the centre of its anterior portionthat is to say, at the toewill be seen a small inverted V-shaped ridge, which is a direct continuation of the same shaped prominence before mentioned on the internal face of the wall.

The converging of the heels narrows the V-shaped indentation in the sole for the reception of the frog.

a, The screw, with a fine-cut thread; b, nut which travels along it; c, a hollow thimble into which the screw passes at one end, the other being cut out V-shaped to catch into a slot (d) on the shoe; e, e, the grip[A] for the bars, the length and direction of which depend upon the shape of the foot; f, f, the counter-sunk rivets forming the hinge (f'); g, the counter-sunk rivet of the expanding piece.]

For our own part, we consider the V-shaped incision, or either of the horizontal methods of grooving, preferable to lines running in the direction of the horn fibres.

The dotted lines outline the V-shaped portion of wall to be removed in the treatment of complicated toe-crack.]

They made the end of the strong line fast to the mast well above the reach of the hungry seas, and the surfmen secured their end to the deeply buried sand-anchor, an inverted V-shaped crotch placed under the rope holding it above the water on the shore end.

But they didn't begin to move him as did the waterfowl, passing in long V-shaped flocks.

The pedestrian should enter the meadow to rest and admire the perfect view down the V-shaped combe to the sea.

In each geographical cycle they have advanced from infantile V-shaped forms; the courses broaden and deepen, the bank slopes reduce in angle as maturer stages are reached until the level of sea surface is more and more nearly approximated.

The pearl necklace was still on her neck peeping out through the V-shaped opening of her gown.

Should the soil be clayey, and hold water, make V-shaped drains, 3 ft. below the surface, and let 2-in.

He considered this for a while, and then ordered Tilda, who by this time was shivering with cold, to pull up the V-shaped bottom-board covering the well in the stern and fix it upright in the bows.

This conductor, made mostly of tin and V-shaped, is shown clearly on the left of the machine in Fig.
