[speaker001:] What a nice dress, Jean.You look marvelous!
[speaker002:] You, too. Where did you get your new hat?
[speaker001:] From the Crown's. Oh, what lovely earrings you have! Are they diamond?
[speaker002:] Yes. It's a birthday present from my husband!
[speaker001:] Well, you are lucky to have such a considerate husband. Mine hasn't brought me a single rose since we married.
[speaker002:] He'll come out with surprises. Just wait and see. Look at that woman, with the white chiffon!
[speaker001:] She's chic, isn't she?
[speaker002:] Yes. I like the dress. It must be the latest fashion. Look, the hem has lowered, and the waist narrowed.
[speaker001:] It makes me feel rather shabby. That woman has a good taste in dressing, I would say.
[speaker002:] Yes. She dressed with an individual flair. I rather envy her.
[speaker001:] Most women follow fashion like sheep.They don't know any better than imitate.
[speaker002:] I quite agree with you.See the woman there? I dare say she hasn't got any eyes. How could she match the mauve gown with the green handbag? And all that jewelry!
[speaker001:] The gown is quite expensive, believe me.
[speaker002:] So what? It only makes her look cheap and vulgar.
[speaker001:] You know those upstarts. They're all show-offs! I think I'd better have a diet; otherwise I'd look like a ballon soon.
[speaker002:] You're quite slim. In fact, if you were one of those starlets, the movie company would say you have a fabulous figure.
[speaker001:] Thanks. I'm flattered.
[speaker002:] Oh, my shoes pinch me. Let's find a seat and sit a while.
