Late Frill of Fashion.

A woman Just home from Paris had brought with her a dress that is startling in its Bllnkiness'even in this day of attenuated lines. It is an afternoon gown of pale violet chiffon made with long lines and rather simple trimming. Its chief cause of novelty is that it is worn without drop skirt or petticoat of any kind. To insure against raids of the police or horrified matrons of the old school, the frock was built of six or seven thicknesses of chiffon. The under layer was a much deeper tone than the outer ones and the shaded effect was indescribably lovely, nor was the gown as shocking as it sounds.
