"The committee on treachery is ready to report," said Delilah, rising from her corner, where she and Lucretia Borgia had been having so animated a discussion that they had failed to observe the others crowding about Cleopatra and the papers. [Picture: The committee on treachery is ready to report] "A little sombre," said Cleopatra. "The corsage is effective, but I don't like those basque terminations.

I should want some kind of a wrap with it.” “It does need that,” assented Elizabeth. “A wrap made of passementerie and jet, with a mousseline de soie ruche about the neck held by a _chou_, would make it fascinating.”  BUREAU CREATION AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE REMINDS ME OF EVE'S DESCRIPTION OF AN AUTUMN SCENE IN THE GARDEN SMILED MISSUS NOAH GORGEOUS IN ITS FOLIAGE BEAUTIFUL THING THOUGH I SHOULDN'T HAVE DARED TO WEAR ONE IN THE ARK WITH ALL THOSE HUNGRY ANIMALS BROWSING ABOUT THE UPPER AND LOWER DECKS I WONDER REMARKED CLEOPATRA AS SHE COCKED HER HEAD TO ONE SIDE TO TAKE IN THE FULL EFFECT OF AN ATTRACTIVE SUMMER GOWN I WONDER HOW THAT WAIST WOULD MAKE UP IN BLUE CRIPPON WITH A YOKE OF LACE AND A STYLISHLY CONTRASTING STOCK OF SATIN RIBBON IT WOULD DEPEND UPON HOW YOU FINISHED THE SLEEVES REMARKED MADAME RACAMIER IF YOU HAD A FEW PUFFS OF RICH BROCADED SATIN SET IN WITH DEEPLY FOLDED PLATES IT WOULDN'T BE BAD I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY EFFECTIVE OBSERVED MISSUS NOAH BUT A TRIFLE TOO LIGHT FOR GENERAL WARE I SHOULD WANT SOME KIND OF A RAP WITH IT IT DOES NEED THAT ASSENTED ELIZABETH A RAP MADE OF PESSIMONTERY AND JET WITH A MUSOLINE DE SUIC ROUCHE ABOUT THE NECK HELD BY A CHUTE WOULD MAKE IT FASCINATING
