DARING PARIS FROCKS.
THE LATEST FASHIONS.
LONDON, Dec 9.
Lady Duff-Gordon, reviewing the mannequins' ball at Paris on Friday night, summarises the gowns as more' daring than previous creations.
Only the best figures could carry th«m. So close-fitting were some that little was left to the imagination. Soft, dinging materials, following every curve of the figure, were a feature of evening gowns. Last year's fashion, which amply exposed beautiful backs and throats, was frankly eclipsed by the freedom of these designs, whose, soft silks reflected the searching accuracy of a sculptor. Only a certain section of Parisiennes devoted to fashion's latest decrees are physically able to accept their challenge, and can venture to wear these startling frocks.
