Tie

“ With an evening coat and a white tie, as you told me once, anybody, even a stockbroker, can gain a reputation for being civilised. ”

“ Baxter. “A white tie, and a black dress coat, kill all rakishness and scampishness, even in the most talented individuals. Choke a man with a white tie, squeeze him tight in a black coat, and he must needs be prudent, calculating, and respectable. ”

“ Judge Emery sat down on the sofa in question and pulled his tie into shape. “Well, folks are always conceited who find the ordinary ways of doing things not good enough for them. Lydia, what do you think of this tie? ”

“ A rather thick-set man about thirty, in a rough shooting-coat of a brownish gray with many pockets, a striped shirt, and a black necktie—if tie it could be called that had so little tie in it; a big head, with rather thick and long straggling hair ”

“ A.—For fabrics requiring for their centres a straight-through tie-up and for their borders a point tie-up, one-half division of it for each border.
Fig. XXXVIII.
These tie-ups are used to a great extent for napkins, handkerchiefs, scarfs, and similar damask fabrics, in which the centre part of the fabric is worked on the straight-through method; the borders on each side on the point tie-up, repeating equally from [36] centre towards the selvedge. ”

“ Do you know Ted, when that rich silk tie was contrasted with my blue serge that had seen considerable service as Sunday best, I felt about as comfortable as a man in overalls wearing a plug hat.
He who hesitates is sold. I hesitated, and the next thing I knew a smart young salesman was selling me a new suit, then I noticed the shoes I was wearing were patched. ”

“ Instead of making a gathered tie, it would be better to make a plain repeating tie for the second border, making the word CLUB on both borders as either A or B, according as they are to read correctly on the under or upper side of the cloth; but if it is desired to make the letters read correctly from both sides or edges of the cloth, as at C, it is plain that there must be hooks in the jacquard to work each border independently, as one is not a repeat of the other. ”

In full harness there is one thread of warp drawn into each mail or eye of the harness, and one shot is given to each change of card. ”

“ A man should wear a white tie with a dress suit at any large formal entertainment, such as a ball, the opera, a wedding reception, a large dinner party, etc., and on all occasions where he wears a white waistcoat.

“ Gerald. I should like to wear nice things awfully, but I have always been told that a man should not think too much about his clothes.
Lord Illingworth. People nowadays are so absolutely superficial that they don’t understand the philosophy of the superficial. By the way, Gerald, you should learn how to tie your tie better.

“ After the séance the prestidigitateur fully explained the modus operandi of the mystic tie, which is herein for the first time correctly given to the public.
The medium holds out his left wrist first and has it tied securely, about the middle of the rope. Two members of the committee are directed to pull the ends of the cord vigorously. “Are you confident that the knots are securely tied?” he asks; when the committee respond “yes,” he puts his hand quickly behind him, and places against the wrist, the wrist of his right hand, in order that they may be pinioned together. ”

“ When a step collar and a man's tie are worn, the ordinary high collar and chemisette, sold for thirty-eight cents, takes the place of the straight linen band worn with the habit high in the throat, and the proper tie is the white silk scarf fastened in a four-in-hand knot, and, if you be wise, Esmeralda you will buy this at a good shop, and pay two dollars and a quarter for it, rather than to pay less and repent ever after.

As I was looking for the glass-topped box that held the white ties, I thought the gas seemed burning low, and looked up at it. It was, confound it! I found the white tie-box in the shadow of the curtain, and took out a tie, and began to tie it. My fingers confused. At that instant everything in me contracted. I stared into the mirror. Brooke was looking over my right shoulder.
My body was all a creeping thrill. ”

“ More latitude is allowed, and if a gown is hardly ever correct it is also hardly ever wrong. Every man who sits in the stalls of a London theater must display eighteen inches of white shirt above the top button of his waistcoat. In America he may wear a blue flannel shirt if he likes, and nobody cares whether it is visible beneath his tie or not.

“ His bottle-green coat has a high collar, he wears a nankin waistcoat and his broad black silk stock tie is wound three times round his neck."

“ THE PENETRATIVE RING. Fasten one end of a needleful of silk, of the colour of a handkerchief, to the middle of the handkerchief, and to its hanging end tie a brass ring.

The great advantages of this method will be immediately perceptible, in the prevention of that disagreeable prominence which is generally produced at the back of the neck by the junction of the ends; which being brought to the front without being soiled, or tumbled in the slightest [29] degree, are more easily formed into an elegant tie.
