More of thenv than ever be

More of them were enrolled in
high school Sewing classes last
year than ever before, and ' the
prospects are that classes will he

heavers this coming season.
Trend Is Explained
The basic reasons for the rapid
ly growing trend are clear
First is the economy factor
which means they can stretch
their budgets io provide more
changes of costume
Second is the sheer pleasure
of being creative in the interpre
tation of new fashion trends.
Third are the improvements
made in. the versatilin of sewing
machines for the home, wide
choice of easily cared for and
easily worked materials, and the
variety of easily followed new
patterns
The crowing trend toward teen
ager home sewing has an addi
tional significance in the opinion
o( Martha Blair, director of the
Pfftff Sewing Institute, who has
studied the situation carefully
"With all the concern about
juvenile delinctuenev it is signifi
cant that an increasing number of
young sii Is have found home sew -
ire not only a money saver, hut a .
satisfaction to their Creative im
agination." she savs

Mow Is Time
To Check On
Shoe Needs
Grandpa used IP grumble when
be was a boy about that four
mile hike to the little red school
house But his complaints were
f mere whisper compared to the
howl put up by today'* young
sters if they have to walk more
than o half-dozen blocks to
school
According to foot doctors,
however, there may be some
merit to Junior's complaints. The
doctors say that Junior's feet
are probably worse off than
Grandpa's ever were Why? Well.
Grandpa's parents knew more
about foot care than we do?his
generation did a great deal more
walking and thus were more
conscious of shoes and foot com
fort .
Today's youngsters do a lot
of their daily travel in cars and
buses; and parents are apt to
neglect, their feet ?Which is why
school examinations turn up the
fact that far too many children
are wearing unsuitable and out
grown shoes. The pair you
bought Junior for the summer
may still have a lot of wear in
them, but chances are they're
cramping his feet as he steps Into
a new school year?and that can
be the beginning of foot troubles
that can plague him all his life
With two or three months of
rough vacation ploy behind them,
now is a good time to check your
children's shoes if you want them
to walk into the new school year
on healthy feet.
And be sure to take a little
extra time and care when you

Shoes For School Child
fake Fashion To Classes
Revolutionary changes that ]
have been taking place in the
realm of footwear for grown-ups. 1
bringing lighter weight leather
shoes that are more comfortably
designed for better fit. and en
dowed with refreshing new styl
ing. are going right back to
school this year on the feet of
children of all ages.
Aside from the fact that the
kids themselves had a lot to do
with bringing the revolution in
footwear down to heir own age
levels?because they demanded it
?parents will find what the
stores have to show them for the
youngsters most Interesting on
several counts.
Not the least of these is the
influence the new shoe styles
for youngsters can have on en
couraging them?and especially
the boys- to be neat. The new
fashions in shoes are quite in
line with the swing toward neat
ness and away from sloppiness in
attire for school children.
Better Fit Possible
Somewhat more important is
the better fit that is made pos
sible by the greater pliability tan
ners have been putting into leath
ers and the advantages shoe de
signers are taking of this en
hanced quality. Parents cannot
overestimate the importance of
proper fit of shoes for children,
and correct bid Comfortable sup
port for growing feet.
The oft repeated advice thai
shoes for school children should
never be purchased without a
careful fitting is sound once
again. Best time is well before
school opens for I he new season
so there can be no doubt about
taking the youngsters down to the
store.
Here's a summary of what's
new and interesting in shoes for
school children, now being shown
by the stores:
FOR LITTLE GIRLS, more
feminine-detailed school shoes in
soft leathers; more soft and light
weight styles: greater variety of
leather pumps for dress wear:
and new tricky one and two
strap sandals. Not many laced
oxfords.

a definite masculine look, yet
lightweight: tassel moccasins and
grained leathers predominate;
many versions in the low top-line
pattern. The low top-line is par
ticularly popular among teen-age
hoys, who tend to follow the
styles set by Dad.
MALE TEEN-AGERS have ad
vanced from the sloppy stage
popular a few years ago. and
have branched out into smartly
styled slaeks. shoils. jackets, etc.
This trend is carried into fool
wear.
For chool, particularly, they
want "sharp." but simple styles,
such us two and three-eyelet blu
chers in plain and moccasin Iocs
in the new crushed grain and
smooth leather.
For dress wear they seem to be
favoring cordovan and black
leathers in wing-tips and C-wings
in both smooth and suede leath
ers. All of these?and more?are
available in the shops.
Versatile Dress Shoes
THE TEEN-AGE GIRL has
speeial demands and the ?-hoe and
leather manufacturers have taken
pains to satisfy them. Chief
among them are dress shoes
which are versatile and not too
extremely styled, so that they
can be worn With a variety of
costumes.
For school, you will find a
staggering variety of leather flats
and low heels, which look well
with socks, as well as nylons
A particular boon for teens
are the new leather pumps with
mid-heels so artfully designed
that they look like high heels,
but don't require precarious bal
ancing.

Advertising...
... keeps prices down
A penny a pound bn the price of a pork roast
can make a world of difference to a grocery
shopper. And food store managers know it!
That's why they do everything possible to
keep prices low in their advertising. It's the
same for almost any product you can think
of. No store can sell it for ten dollars while a
second store is advertising it for five.
Advertising enables you to sit back, relax and
compare prices and merchandise. Shopping trips
can be planned beforehand to take advantage
of the sales which merchants are advertising
constantly. By providing a giant market p!a> e
where stores of all kinds can compete for your
business, the advertising in this newspaper
helps keep prices low.
