mondaine

But it is so; oh, very frivolous—very mondaine, before the war—who loved good things, as a child loves sugar plums!

The mondaine Empress was at once merged in the adoring mother; her whole soul was wrapped up in the boy.

You must not confuse the demi-mondaine with the grande cocotte.

For once, the demi-mondaine was alone, bored to extinction by the blatant ribaldry of Octave Mirbeau.

Now that she is back, she takes her return as carelessly and unblushingly as a demi-mondaine does her annual return from Dinard.
