This was draped over a plain peach-colored satin petticoat, and trimmed with a deep flounce of finest point lace. The corsage was cut low, thus revealing her beautiful neck, around which there was clasped a necklace of blazing diamonds. Her arms were bare to the shoulder, the dress having no sleeves save a strap about two inches wide, into which a frill of costly point was gathered.
Her Friend Madame Savain told me that you had suppressed the shoulders of the corsage. Madame Ah! the gossip! Yes, I will have nothing on the shoulders but a ribbon, a trifle, just enough to fasten a jewel to I was afraid that the corsage would look a little bare. Madame Savain had laid on, at intervals, some ridiculous frippery.
Do they never think of their immortal souls? 'L'âme du paysan se vautre dans la boue comme la mienne se plaît dans la soie. 'Dans la soie! dans la soie! oh, ce Milord, ce Milord! 'Oui, madame, he added, lowering his voice, 'dans le blanc paradis de votre corsage. Three days after life at Brookfield had resumed its ordinary course.
She wore white silk stockings and white satin slippers with little rhinestone buckles. Her thick golden hair was drawn high on her head in a graceful knot and clustered in little curls about her temples and over her forehead, while her whole face was alive with excitement.

So innocent and ridiculous the grass looked as it made its first tentative thrust at the urban nerves; the green blades sloped forward like some prettily arranged but unimaginative corsage upon the concrete bosom of the street.
