henna

In the center of the street, somebody is painting henna tattoos.

"It is past," cried she, bending her henna-dyed hand across her brow, as if to drive away a vapor.

Her eyes were lozenges of antimony; her hands, dipped in henna, seemed clad in pale kid gloves.

Flesh-colored stockings, Petticoat decreed, and henna slippers with carved jade buckles.

The tips of the fingers shade to a deep rose color, such as is imparted by the henna of the Orientals.

And thus, joy suddenly faded into horror, and the most beautiful became the most hideous, as Hinnon became Ge-Henna.
