FASHIONS APPEAR TO BE MODERATING AUTUMN IN AMERICA Autumn collections shown in the -8 houoes comprising the New York Dress Institute give ample evidence that for tiie time being, at least, nobody is going off the ueep end in fashion, reports a United States paper. Clothes are back in the traces, content ' with having kicked them over mst year ana run away with the bit in their teeth.

If any hint of straying from the established mode lifts its head at the moment, it is the pointed trend towards the long slim line harking back to the Empire period. This finds expression in a number of different collections, and in both coats and dresses. It announces a return to the high waistline, often princess in design, the narrow skirt, narrow shoulders, beltless waistline, and the high collar—all of which accent the long look. It also plays down- and banislie3 the prominence of hips which are gradually receding as a fashion accent, and plays up the importance of back fullness in skirts, which is considered highly fashionable. Back fullness is subtly introduced, often with a deep godet or by “rudder” folds, and by pleats. In the Empire style, it often ' falls in a straight line between the shoulder blades from a high yoke, and is very much controlled, particularly in coats. 'Sleeves are important because of the way they are set. This line often accounts for the only ornamentation in a costume. Necklines are generally high, giving a muffled effect. Ascots, holding up high pointed collars, are used, also “frivolities” made of taffeta in highly-keyed colours' which wrap the neck with a snug, smart air and do well by wearers who have long necks. These show the trend towards the high collar. At the other extreme you will find necklines wide open and accented by striking fichus or duchess collars which set off the face like a frame.
