What are the best irony quotes used in "A Pair of Silk Stockings" ?

Irony, the discrepancy between appearances and reality, is
present throughout "A Pair of Silk Stockings" by Kate Chopin.  Initially when Mrs.
Sommers receives the windfall of some money, she plans the "judicious use of the
money."  However, ironically, it is not for the children that she spends her money, nor
is her choice frugal, although this is what she
ponders:

The
question of investment was one that occupied her greatly....But it was during the still
hours of the night when she lay awake resolving plans in her mind that she seemed to see
her way clearly toward a proper and judicious use of the
money.

Chopin continues her
description of Mrs. Sommers, writing ironically that she "was one who knew the value of
bargains; who could stand for hours making her way inch by inch toward the desired
object.." when, in fact, Mrs.Sommers indulges herself quietly and
quickly.

Another example of irony is Mrs. Sommers's
practicality for her children, while her frivolous purchase of the stockings that
certainly do not accompany her shoes certainly contradicts this frugality and
conservative nature, as do her future purchases;

She was fastidious.  The clerk could not make her
out; he could not reconcile her shoes with her stockings, and she was not too easily
pleased.

Further irony is
apparent in how vain Mrs. Sommers, the woman who thinks first of her children, has
become,

Her
stockings and boots and well-fitting gloves had worked marvels in her bearing--had given
her a feeling of assurance, a sense of belong to the well-dress
multitude.

Even the title of
Kate Chopin's story is ironic.  For "A Pair of Silk Stockings" suggests a narrataive for
the rich; however, it is really a message to the Vogue readers
where it appeared, about how the other half lives.
