Girls May Have To Wear Buttoned Shoes This Fall To Be In The Height Of Fashion
St. Louis—(UP)—Shoe designers in this footwear manufacturing center are out to put the ladies back into spats and buttoned shoes by fall.
The St. Louis Shoe Manufacturers association says it is turning back the fashion pages to fine beading, high button spats, scalloped pinking and jeweled net ornaments for the new fall lines of women's footwear.
The stylists won't go all the way back, though. Just enough to keep in step with present feminine fashions.
For instance, the new spat shoes won't be much like the ones grandma maw when she stepped out. They're scheduled to be light and appear as one Style, in particular they will have cutout all around the quarter.
And about buttons. Don't go digging in the attic truck where Aunt Mamie put away the old buttonhook. The pearl buttons on next fall's shoes will be mostly for decorative purposes, although they still might be a handy gadget to latch a shoe-string onto in an emergency.
The heels will be covered with a pearl-finished celluloid to match the buttons.
New York — (UP) — The bobby soxer is wearing stockings.
Bobby Soxers Adopt Neatness, 'Anklets'
Those sox she puts on to play tennis she'll thank you to call by their old-fashioned name—"anklets."
That's the word on teen-age fashion the New York fashion group got yesterday from 16-year-old Mary Burdell of New York's Friends seminary, who turned up wearing a leaf-green bolero suit.
Blue jeans are for mountain climbing. Mary said. Dad's shirts are back in his drawer. Don't call us bobby-soxers and picture us sloppy, she said.
"We're trying to forget," she added.
Here's what they are wearing in the high school set, according to Mary:
For school—wool dresses and suits in winter; cotton dresses, dirndls and blouses in spring, with ballet slippers—and stockings.
For big parties—bouffant formals, off the shoulder or strapless "for we love bare shoulders and arms."
For dates—dresses with full skirts and tight waists; petticoats; high or low heeled shoes "depending on the height of the boy."
Hair is worn shoulder length and simple, Mary said, despite the grown-up fad for short cuts. Sometimes it's put up for a gala evening.
And they've smucked off most of their jewelry with the sox.
Lipstick and powder are the only makeup of most girls, she said. Sometimes they play with the "new light-colored" nail polish.
Many teen-agers are doing their own sewing, Mary said, to supplement their allowances. When they go shopping they look for mixable classics.
“Most of us,” Mary said, “would be satisfied with a fraternity pin.”
Long Underwear Makes Last Stand
Evansville, Ind.—(UP)—Long. underwear is staging a flickering last stand on the threshold of the atomic age.
John Strouse, whose family has operated a men's clothing store here for 80 years, said "longies" or union dresses classed with spats as a novelty item.
"We used to sell them by the case," he said. "But now only a few outdoor workers, hunters and old people buy them."
Longies began fading from the wasthad scene with the development of central heating in buildings and efficient car heaters, Strouse said.
In 1947, 850 Americans were killed and 87,000 injured in accidents involving automobiles which were turning left at the time of the accident. Know your hand signals—and use them!

Wichita—(UP)—A Wichita traffic violator went to extremes to try to avoid a fine recently.
Ever Try To Hide A Car?
Wichita Police Frown On It
Officers found the car but no driver. They learned he had slid down one "firehouse pole" garage employees use to the sixth floor, then down a second to the ground floor.
Finally he drove into a garage, going up the winding ramps to the 10th and top floor and leaving his car on a grease rack.
But all to no avail. Traced to his home by his auto license tag, the man was arrested, taken to court and fined.
Nebraska City-(UP) The books of the 1947 horse show here were closed. They showed receipts of $10,435.73, and expenditures of $10,-435.35, leaving a profit of 38 cents.
