Dislike Kisses on Forehead? Get Hep, Girls, Wear Heels!
3y EILEEN FOLEY
The average, modern girl considers the "heels" in her shoe wardrobe as strictly for dress.
You just aren't dressed these days unless you're wearing heels. We've been towering over their dates by the social pressure of wearing heels.
This fad of walking around in an unnatural position is an ancient neo-trend, but one that does have a sensible reason for it—simply to increase their height.
No one really is sure how or where high heels originated. As far back as 715 B.C. shoes were worn with thick cork, or pliurant, soles or nailheads, the wearer taller. The high heel is supposed to have evolved from this.
Another explanation is that the people of ancient desert tribes put high heels on their shoes to keep their feet off the burning sands. Still another story is that horse-riding warriors of centuries past used high heels to keep their feet from slipping out of the stirrups.
Anyhow, the high heel got its real impetus a few centuries back when Catherine de Medici came to Paris as the bride of Henry II. Cathy was very short so she were high-heel shoes so made her taller, new style spied the taller new style the high heel fad rapidly spread throughout the courts of Europe, and from there to the common folk, and from we
My personal opinion is that the high heel was invented by a girl who was always being kissed on the forehead, but I could be prejudiced. I'm 5 feet 1 inch.

Watch for Date
Male Fashions Show Elegance
The quiet revolution in men's fashions occurring in recent seasons, reaches its climax this fall in smart, striking styles and in fabrics which lend "a touch of elegance" to all men's wearables.
The "narrow look," which has trimmed the bulky excess from men's clothes, continues to be fall's dominant styling theme.
Narrow, natural lines are emphasized through a narrowing of the shoulders and of coat lapels, and a general raising of coat buttons.
The two and three-button, single-breasted suit is generally being favored, but millions of men still prefer the double-breasted suit, and will seek it for fall.
The biggest news in clothes is— FABRIC!
Nubby yarns for surface interest-last spring's trend-has been softened and these "nub" and "slubs" feature right, bright colors and novel weave effects.
Multi-colored fabrics, with bright touches of reds, oranges, vivid greens and blues are offered in many varieties. These bright additions enrich the traditional men's suit shades of brown, gray and deep blue, and this year, black!
Like the tweeds, shetlands, cheriots, homespun, woolen flannel and other short-fibred cloths traditionally smooth-surfaced fabrics are now enlivened. New colors and nubs and slubs of uneven yarn are added to gabardines, worsted, skarkshanks and many others.
All in all, both woolens and worsteds have a new tone of luxury and elegance! To heighten this feeling, the wool specialty fibers—such as cashmere, camel's hair, acrylics or cotton—are being used more widely.
In addition to the rich tones found in clothes, men are currently adding even greater color by wearing contrasting vests.
These vests, which first attracted the young men's fancy in colorful wool tattersals, are now featured in colors and colors for men of all ages.
Of particular note this year are the ever-popular tattersals—rich solid colors with lapels and shiny braid buttons—and such novelies as
Sports jackets, too, stress color.

Record News
Of Beethoven's 16 quartets, the 14th, in C-sharp minor, has unique challenge to players and hearers. A long-term impression is that players retreat from it more regularly than hearers. The mettlesome quality of the Paganini Quartet's playing of it (RCA Victor; 12-LP) is the four-square acceptance of challenge. It mirrors the score inwardly as well as outwardly.
This is very solid Beetoven but the Opus Four quintet belongs to the youth of the giant and is hardly an accurate forecast of its creator's future despite periodic efforts to find harbingers in it. A new effort now is being made, with the Pascal Quartet's playing with Walter Gerhard, viola. This is not to say Opus Four is without interest; it is invaluable for insights into the young Beetoven (Concert hall; 12-inch LP).
The single quartets of Debussy and Ravel have been understandingly recorded by the Budapest String Quartet and are back to back on a single LP. (Columbia). In memory of the late violinist, Adolf Busch, Columbia issued Schubert's E-flat trio, a lyrical 'thunderstorm', beautifully played by Busch; his brother Herman, 'cello', and his son-in-law, Rudolph Serkin, piano.
Russian Quartets
You wonder why no record maker thought of it before. Capitol has put Tchaikovsky's first quartet and Borodin's second onto one record. Tchaikovsky's first, you will recall, contains the indestructible and antecantable and Bordin's second, the almost equally familiar Notturno. The playing by the Hollywood String Quartet is pluperfect professional, but you can't say the famous melodies are enhanced when in their proper settings.
Their modern descendent, Kabalevsky's second quartet, which is melodic without a long, sustained melody, has been recorded for the first time, by the Naumann Quartet (Urania; 12-inch LP.) Farthest removed from his modernity are the offerings of the Harpsichord Quartet (that instrument plus the 'cello, oboe and flute) playing Francois Couperin's musically eloquent "Le parsnasse on L'apotheose de Cereli," and five canzoni and a sonata of the 17th century Frescobaldi and Rosemullers (Esoteric; 12-inch LP.)
But for pure musical enjoyment (in an accustomed and readily assimilable idiom) you're likely to be safer with Clifford Curzon, piano, and three members of the Budapest playing Brahms'. A major piano quartet (Columbia 12-inch LP).
