Standing tall and slender with a stern set to her face, Mrs. Armstrong wears her blonde hair gathered into a broad bun, a single signature Armstrong curl trailing from her widow's peak and a smaller ringlet tucked before each ear. Her everyday outfit pairs a turquoise vest with a pale blue gown and a rose-pink shawl finished with a bow, and for outings she adds a long burgundy coat and purple wrap, both lined with white fur.

As head of the household she carries the poised, faintly grandiose air common to the Armstrong line, complete with the family's trademark sparkle. The story shows her chiefly in a domestic light, handling the family's affairs with brisk practicality.
