Her starched shirt was crumpled, and wet through with perspiration, also her shoes were trodden all out of shape. "Dear Marion," he said, "I have no objection to your going to balls as décolletée as ever you please, for you are beautiful ..." and he kissed her neck; "but I do beg you not to exhibit yourself like this again." Marion coloured and answered: "Yes, you're right, Hubby!
When she drove a pair sat on the boot. Her voice was strong, not sweet, spoiled by years of singing against dishes and bottles in smoky music halls; spoiled by cigarettes and absinthe and foreign cocktails that resembled their American prototypes as the night resembles the day. She wore the gold dress, decolletee, slashed to the knee over rhinestone-spangled stockings.
She was very decolletee and had a fretful air. Her husband was small and stooped, with a long moustache and shiny eyes; on his cheek-bones were the red spots frequent in consumptives, and he spoke in a sharp voice. "Are you acquainted with the Marquis?" Mme. Dawson asked Caesar. "Yes, he is a tiresome busybody," said Caesar, "the most boresome fellow you could find.
We ourselves have been evolving here the notion of some large allegory which should bear the relation to all other allegories that Bartholdi's colossus of Liberty bears to all other statues, and which should carry forward the story and the hero, or the heroine, to some such supreme moment as that when, amid the approving emotion of an immense hotel dining-room, all in décolletée and frac paré, the old, simple-lived American, wearing a sack-coat and a colored shirt, shall be led out between the eminent innkeeper and the head waiter and delivered over to the police to be conducted in ignominy to the nearest Italian table d'hôte.
Ladies who dance should wear dresses of light and diaphanous materials, such as tulle, gauze, crape, net, &c., over coloured silk slips. Silk dresses are not suitable for dancing.

Mademoiselle de Vermont disliked bright colors, and wore on this occasion a robe of black velvet, of which the 'decolletee' bodice set off the whiteness of her shoulders and her neck, the latter ornamented with a simple band of cherry-colored velvet, without jewels, as was suitable for a young girl.
"Ah, I see the difficulty, now; you are disturbed because there is not a bit of lace over these pretty shoulders of yours. Now don't be absurd, Dora; the dress is perfectly proper, or Madame Tiphany never would have sent it home. It is the fashion, child; and many a girl with such a figure would go twice as decolletee, and think nothing of it, I assure you."

"Look there, that is Count Albert Styvens," said a journalist, pointing out the Secretary to his neighbour, a young beauty in a very decolletee gown. The neighbour laughed. "Is he as reserved and as serious as he looks?" she inquired. "So they say." "Poor fellow," answered the pretty woman, with affected pity, examining him through her opera glasses.
Now that escapade in the pond, you know. That was all right with only old Senhouse in the way. You must admit that you were rather decolletee, to say the least of it. Now, would you say that you can do those sort of things go as you please, you know, anywhere?" "Why not?" Her eyes were straightly at him. "What! Whether you're seen or not?" She frowned.
