Baroness von Langerdorff

One of the most fascinating members of the great passing parade in New York is the Baroness W. Langer von Langerdorff, who is easily spotted in any crowd, gilded or no because of her tall and tumbling flaming tresses, her satin and/or taffeta evening dresses, and above all, her famous milkmaid complexion — and above above all, her ensembles of astonishing jewels. Which are always in ample supply, generous weight, high lustre, and, in short, unbelievable on sighting.
