It was hard, at this stage, not to feel sorry for the man, not to wince each time the camera panned to his puce-complexioned face.

Madame Bauche was dressed in a new puce silk dress, and looked very magnificent on the occasion.

Another dress, composed of deep violet or puce-color silk, has the flounces edged also with rows of black velvet.

Apparently the geranium red costume is Sunday only, the week-day is this maroon, or puce, or madder-brown.

She wore a puce silk paletot, and a brown hat trimmed with black lace; an unbecoming costume for one so tall.

Puce colour is communicated by logwood with a little alum; which may be modified by the addition of a little Brazil wood.
