Clifford thoughtlessly threw it open, and a woman in evening dress, very decolletee, swept by him into the box, with a waft of sickly scented air. Yvonne leaned heavily on Gethryn's shoulder; the woman stopped in front of them. "Ah! here you are, then!" Yvonne's face was ghastly. "Nina," she whispered, "why did you come?"
As if this symbol were not explanatory enough, the eye was arrested by the blue of a poster which was pasted over the doorway, and on which appeared, above the words "Good Beer of Mars," the picture of a soldier pouring out, in the direction of a very decolletee woman, a jet of foam which spurted in an arched line from the pitcher to the glass which she was holding towards him; the whole of a color to make Delacroix swoon.
"She is the one link between us and your short frocks." "She does not remember my short frocks at all, Lord Henry. But I remember her very well at Vienna thirty years ago, and how decolletee she was then." "She is still decolletee," he answered, taking an olive in his long fingers; "and when she is in a very smart gown she looks like an edition de luxe of a bad French novel.
'Ma chatte, you have made me positively adorable, she would say, peering at her reflection in the ivory hand-mirror, a dazzling image of rouge and bismuth, carmined lips, diamonds, and frizzy yellow hair; 'I verily believe I look under thirty but do not you think this gown is a thought too decolletée un peu trop de peau, hein?

So her ladyship retreated into languid sleepy dignity towards both her sisters-in-law; and on Monday evening showed herself, for a moment, more decolletee, if possible, than before. Mrs. Poynsett feared lest Julius were weak in this matter; but at night she had a visit from him. "Mother," he said, "it will not happen again. Say no more." "I am only too thankful." "What do you think settled it?
A maiden of fifteen said to me: "I must go to a party this evening decolletee, and I hate it. Benigno is getting old enough to marry, and he wants to see all the girls in low neck before he makes up his mind." They all swear like troopers, without a thought of profanity. Their mildest expression of surprise is Jesus Maria! They change their oaths with the season.
I could let an inch or so out of mine without doing any violent harm. Oh, I just love to be dressed décolletée! I got it right that time, didn't I, Josephine?" "Oui, Madame," replied the maid. "Fine!
