If I had been going, I should have had my ruby satin done up--so beautiful by candle-light.

What have you to wear?
That white lace tea-gown with the silver-gray train is very nice; but you ought not to be in half mourning now.

I like to see young people in colors.

And then there is that gold-and-white brocade, Ruth, that you wore at the drawing-room last year.

It is a beautiful dress, but rather too quiet.
