over a mantle of white satin. bordered with

Her arms were bare, and the black enamel
OF her bracelets formed a strong contrast
with their whiteness.
Behind her walked Masaniello.
Jeanne was leaning on his arm She still
wore the picturesque dress of the peasant;
but her brother was attired in splendid cos
