Virtually every major shoe man ufacturer in the country was rep resented in the showing of a varied collection of shoes for men, women and children. Overall theme for the show was “Brilliant Leathers—Fire works of Fasnion.” Highlighted were the new leather colors which will be seen in women's shoes for daytime, evening and casual wear. Most popular colors for the coming season include 5 fam ilies: the hot pinks; brilliant reds; the bright, bright blues; salad green and Irish green go ing Into avocado; deep, hot orange and sea coral. These carefree colors give spring shoes a look of cl an-cut. simplicity in calf leathers, kids, sliky suedes, side (cowhide) leathers, patent 1 thers, and brushed arid reptile leathers. In silhouette, women’s shoes con tinue to have the very pointed toe or the flattened, gently squared toe—the latter featured mainly in shoes for daytime and dress wear. The laced square toe is a popular treatment for tailored and leisure shoes. For both women and teen age girls, two tone, combina tion* in both brilliant leather color and leather texture are prominent In shoe styles for a round - the - clock wear. This type of styling Is seen In leath er overlays at the toe in spec tator fashion; In color Inserts at the heel or vamp: In con trasting color bands at the shoe Glen Mitchell, Shaw Junior, Is Treasurer Os Nat 7 Body Glen ford E. Mitchell, a junior of Jamaica, 8.W.1. and editor of the Shaw Journal, was elected na tlanol treasurer of the National Pie*Alumni Council, at the thir teenth conference held In meeting wore George Goode, a senior of Seaboard, and president of the Student Council. The meet ing vya.s a joint conference of the National Alumni and the Nation al Pre-Alumni Council of the United Negro College Fund. Dr. William R. Strassner, presi dent og Shaw University, also at tended the meeting. About 23 pounds of cotton per j person arc consumed annutdiy in I the United Stater., collar and in various leather texture, or color combinations in straps. Heels catch a lot of attention in interesting new shapes, ranging from the flat squash heel through the shaped stacked leather heel, the deeply curved Louis heel, to the high, thin stiletto heel. CHILDREN S SHOES STEP OUT IN FASHION Slimness in children’s shoes is the keynote to new fashion, along with lighter construction and greater flexibility made possible by the lighter, more supple leath ers, Any youngsters* shoes have a fashion flair all their own. Although children's shoes are much slimmer than in past seasons, they have been kept in line with the natural contours of young feet to assure comfort and good fit Parents will welcome the good news regarding better wear:—New developments in sole leather have resulted in a new resin-irnprogna ied leather sole that offers 100 per cent more wear with no stretch or curl—yet retains leather’s char acteristic “breathing’’ ability. Color is highlighted in little girls' leather shoes, for both school and dress wear. Little shell pumps and strap styles are most popular. All the new spring styles give a lighter, more delicate look in keep ing with the more feminine look of young apparel. Generally, all categories of hoys' leather soles that are thick and durable, yet much more flexible and closely cropped to the con tour of the shoe, lip-on styles and three-to-four-eyelct ties are newly popular. Many feature the new squared-off too for both school and dress wear. MEN WEAR BROWN SHOES WITH KLU’ votT-S WITH NEW FASHION Shaw Flayers Will Present Drama SHAW PLAYERS WILL PREsent On February 17 and 18, in Greenleaf Auditorium, the Shaw Players will present Elizabeth the Queen by Maxwell Anderson, un der the direction of Gilbert A. Da ley. Elizabeth the Queen is a inagnlficJent drama —lt is a searching portrayal of charac ter, freely imaginative in its use of history, clearly thought out and conveyed In dialogue of notable beauty. Elizabeth Is a fine poetic tra gedy ringing and clear-romantic beauty. It is n grand escape from too much realism. Elizabeth the Queen helps to raise the theatre to its highest estate. The public is invited. The deep woody brown leathers with a wonderful depth of color are prominently featured in men’s shoes for spring. These are designed 1,, be worn with ail the tones of blue that will be featured this spring in men’s apparel, as well as with brown. Rich, redless brown leathers, ranging from nutmeg in the lighter group to hemlock in the deep dark cast, have a natural affinity for light blue wools and man-made fabrics. The shape and weight, as well as the color, of men’s shoes for spring are keyed to clothing types --slim, tapered, light in weight and appearance. Leather used in both soles and uppers is much lighter, but stronger and more durable. U. S. Labor Secretary Talks At NCC DURHAM—James J. Mitchell, U. S.
