Barege

Rose took out an old barege of an ashes-of-roses color.

She moved, a stately high-hipped figure, her severe face almost concealed in a scooping green barege hood, to the centre of the floor, and stood there with a pose that might have answered for a statue of Judgment.

"Because her father--ah! bon jour, Madame--excuse me, Monsieur, but I go to pay my respects to Madame la Comtesse!" cried the Belgian, as an elderly red-faced lady, with fuzzy sandy hair, wearing a dingy, many-flounced lilac barege gown, came towards them along the gravel path.

She has on her blue barege dress, which implies her unvarying constancy.

She did her hair according to the directions of the hairdresser, and put on the barege dress spread out upon the bed.
