ANN (to MRS. MARTINEAU) : What a lovely dress, Mabel. MRS. MARTINEAU : I am so glad you like it. ANN : You are always so beautifully dressed. MRS. MARTINEAU : That is because I insist on having the clothes made by the French for the French ; not the models designed for export purposes. LADY EMILY : What is the difference ? MRS. MARTINEAU : When an Englishwoman or an American goes into Callot, or Cheruit, the vendeuse instantly shows her the most elaborate things she has got lace, flowers, furs ...and furbelows. LADY EMILY : Why ? MRS. MARTINEAU : Out of contempt for our taste and desire to make the price as high as possible. SELINA : And we think it must be all right because of the name inside. MRS. MARTINEAU : Men are such bad judges of cloth- ing ! They like crude colours and they notice nothing. SELINA : No. They say, " Kitty had on a divine dress, " and you ask, " What colour was it ? " and they explain, " Kind of orange, " and it turns out to have been jade green. 56 THE PAINTED SWAN ANN : And they always admire on other women the sort of clothes they deprecate for their wives.
