achieved by Partisan modistes to lure

not only tight fitting. showing every
line and curve of the fair wearers,
but 1t is made of silk SO thin and fra
gile as to be almost transparent.
The innovation has created sensa-
ton, even in Paris. which is accus-
toned to Bizarre costumes. In many
instances, the wearers of the trans
parent gowns have been surrounded
by great crowds of men, all anxious
to inspect the effect at close range,
and only the interference of the police
has prevented the women from being
mobbed.
