Abstract
"Gown...done in dahlia-coloured cloth and dark sable of the true Russian depth of brown. The skirt, cut to admiration, was banded with the fur to below the knee at regular intervals, and lined with bright pink silk which flashed out at discreet intervals, as the wearer swam around. The hat and waist-belt were of a darker tone than the bluish red of frock and the whole made a distinctly successful blot of colour against the ice, than which, by the way, there is no better background for a pretty picture."--from source text.
