Her pale blue dress, for which she had just exchanged her winter walking-costume, fell round her in sweeping folds of lace and silk a French fairy dressed by Wörth, she was possessed by a wild gayety, and her silvery laugh held the room. Beside her, Julie Le Breton, very thin, very tall, very dark, was laughing too.
The lines of costume should, in every part, conform to those of Nature, or be in harmony with them. "Papa," said a little boy, who saw his father for the first time in complete walking-costume, "what a high hat! Does your head go up to the top of it?" The question touched the cardinal point of form in costume.
It is charity," he added, smiling, "to present such a spectacle to the eyes of a sick man; it is enough to set him up again." "Isn't it?" said Giselle, kissing Madame d'Argy on the forehead. The poor mother had resumed her knitting with a sigh, hardly glancing at the pretty walking-costume, nor at the bonnet with its network of gold. "Isn't it pretty?" repeated Giselle.
After a ride which seemed a long one to the ladies, who wished they had attired themselves in walking-costume, the road and the forest suddenly came to an end, and before them stretched out the waters of a small lake. Camp Rob was not far from the head of the lake, and for some distance above and below the forest stood back from the water's edge.
I have brought you some chocolate," said Jacqueline to Giselle, as soon as her cousin appeared, looking far prettier in her black cloth frock than when she wore an ordinary walking-costume.
The house garb, though decorous rather than ornamental, became her better than her walking-costume. Her well-shaped head and thoughtful, sensitive, controlled features, had a new value against this background of handsome furniture and all the appointments of wealth. She moved as if breathing the air that suited her.
He burst into an open laugh. "Almost enough to buy you a new car a year, isn't it?" he commented. An annoyed flush showed through the tan of his clear skin. He was evidently very touchy about his pet lumbering operations. "A great many American families consider that a sufficient income," he said stiffly. Sylvia had another inspiration, such as had been the genesis of her present walking-costume.

I recognized the geologist with some surprise, and the lady he was leading with still greater astonishment. For it was Miss Mannersley, in her precise, well-fitting walking-costume a monotone of sober color among the parti-colored audience.
He walked to the corridor, and, looking down, beheld Miss Mayfield midway on the steps of the staircase. She had never looked so beautiful before! Jeff had only seen her in those soft enwrappings and half-deshabille that belong to invalid femininity. Always refined and modest thus, in her present walking-costume there was added a slight touch of coquettish adornment.
