Meanwhile, if an untutored masculine description will content you   Margaret, I have on reliable feminine authority, was one of the very few blondes whose complexions can carry off reds and yellows. This particular gown  I remember it perfectly  was of a dim, dull yellow  flounciful (if I may coin a word), diaphanous, expansive.

Yet when I think of the tiny shoes she affected--patent-leather ones mostly, with a seam running straight up the middle (and you may guess the exact date of our comedy by knowing in what year these shoes were modish); the string of fat pearls she so often wore about her round, full throat; the white frock, say, with arabesques of blue all over it, that Felix Kennaston said reminded him of Ruskin's tombstone; or that other white-and-blue one--_décolleté_, that was--which I swear seraphic mantua-makers had woven out of mists and the skies of June: when I remember these things, I repeat, almost am I tempted to become a boot-maker and a lapidary and a milliner and, in fine, an adept in all the other arts and trades and sciences that go to make a well-groomed American girl what she is--the incredible fruit of grafted centuries, the period after the list of Time's achievements--just that I might describe Margaret to you properly. But the thing is beyond me.
