New York, Sept. Place has

From rather unimportant place
as mere decoration to other fabrics
lace has swept its way to the posi-

fabric. to fashion practically any

growing favor that shines upon lace;

character enough to permit its
new uses. The laces that are now
on the market have the beauty oil

the sheerness of chiffon. Prac.

copied in our own laces. now
There are cotton and elk laces

Paris, Oct. II. R-The fashion
outlook grows literally blacker anu
blacker as the season progresses.
Partisan women approve whole
heartedly their drcssmakers' pre-
occupation with black and by far
the majority Of French women
base their winter wardrobes OH
black for morning, noon and night.
Not all the black is for French
clients either. A famous dress
maker who, the French say, "ca-
tiers to Americans" has the black
est collection of the winter season.
Even her informal wool morning
dresses are sombre black. Some
times they have tiny starched col
lars and cuffs. which give them
rather an air of being intended for
fastidious govcrnesses or social
secretaries. More often the dresses
are plain. unrclieved black.
As result of the fashionable
pail, black gloves will be worn by
some of the smartest French wo-
men this winter. A wave is set
ting in toward sheer black chiffon
hosiery. and most of the newest
handbags are black.
Only hats indicate that the en-
tire feminine world of Paris is not
in mourning. While the basis OF
a large proportion of the winters

employ some contrasting shade
like fawn. chartreuse or cham
payne color in their scheme. The
contrasting material is an integral

The teaching profession itself is
responsible for the most Of the adj
vances made in education. The
task of guiding the growth Of TWEEN
ty-eighth million young lives now in
schools belongs to tho teacher.
Therefore much attention has been
given in the past year to raising
the standards OF teacher training
This movement has been led by the
American Association OF Teachers
Colleges. a department OF the Ma
tional Education association.
Last February the association
| made, for the first TINT in the his
tory OF American education, a list
OF accredited teacher training insti-
tutions. 1t is hoped that this will
have on the teaching profession an
effect similar to the accrediting of
medical schools by the American
Medical association.
