NEW YORK FASHION LETTER

ia NAUDE GRIFFIN.

New York. Sept 26.-Nature does
not make a leap. but fashion does
sometimes. The autumn season will
afford a most striking proof of this
axiom, The frills, flounces and full
waists and skirts that have charact-
erlZed the modes of the past few
years must give way to severe but ar
usuc simpliCity-a vogue that will
prove most trying to those who are
not blessed with attractive forms.
The prevailing expression in smart
gowns is a following closely of the
contour Of the figure so that the ang-
ular, unattractive sisterhood Will
nave greater need than ever of the art
and appointments of the modistes.
From the smallest accessories of
dress to the elegant toiler the new
seasons modes are prevailed with. an
air OF Irresistible novelty. For the

coat with its 'hug-me-tight" skirt is
0he approved design. Instead of tho

also draped over the shoulder in low
