3. Suitable or fit in action; marked with propriety and ease;             graceful; becoming; appropriate; as, a handsome style,             etc.                         Easiness and handsome address in writing. --Felton.          4. Evincing a becoming generosity or nobleness of character;             liberal; generous.                         Handsome is as handsome does.            --Old Proverb.          5. Ample; moderately large.                         He . . . accumulated a handsome sum of money. --V.                                                                               Knox.          {To do the handsome thing}, to act liberally. [Colloq.]          Syn: {Handsome}, {Pretty}.          Usage: Pretty applies to things comparatively small, which                   please by their delicacy and grace; as, a pretty girl,                   a pretty flower, a pretty cottage. Handsome rises                   higher, and is applied to objects on a larger scale.                   We admire what is handsome, we are pleased with what                   is pretty. The word is connected with hand, and has                   thus acquired the idea of training, cultivation,                   symmetry, and proportion, which enters so largely into                   our conception of handsome. Thus Drayton makes mention                   of handsome players, meaning those, who are well                   trained; and hence we speak of a man's having a                   handsome address, which is the result of culture; of a                   handsome horse or dog, which implies well proportioned                   limbs; of a handsome face, to which, among other                   qualities, the idea of proportion and a graceful                   contour are essential; of a handsome tree, and a                   handsome house or villa. So, from this idea of                   proportion or suitableness, we have, with a different                   application, the expressions, a handsome fortune, a                   handsome offer.
