Woman's World MAX1NE NURMI, Woman's Editor By CAY PAULEY UP I Staff Writer NEW YORK iUri-A more "humane" shape to women's shoes is on the way. This is a fashion step which will please the women who have pro tested that needle-point toes curl their tootsies and to the men who have looked on them as lethal weapons. Toes on everyhing but evening shoes will be rounder for fall. But those special event shoes will be just as pointed as ever even to the extreme of "double needle." the industry's term for a toe twice as sharp as the "sin gle needle." Heels on daytime shoes are to be firmer, which will take away some of the dread of treading on a grating. "We see daytime shoes having a modified, slender toe, softly rounded," said David Evins, one of the leading designers of high- style and high-priced $3 and up per pair) footwear. "But we will not return to the short vamp, baby-doll look of the late 193u's and '40's. Bizarre shapes also are out." "The oval look is the new look," said a spokesman for the Nation al Shoe Institute. "A more hu mane toe.. .a flattened, tapered oval." In heels, the trend is toward slivers of leather or wood piled smoothly one on the other. But for dressy occasions, the skinny the "stacked" for daytime thin spike which catches in gratings, With the Colors 4-H Club News The Little Snips, 4 H Club, met recently in the home of Mrs. Douglas Eustace to work on aprons and oven mitts.

Ciyslal Rebekah Members Attend Birthday Dinner Here escalators and door mats will go right into fall 1959 and spring I960. j "I doubt if fashion ever will go back to the fat clumsy heel of pre-war years." said Evins. As a staunch supporter of the skinny heel as the most flattering ever invented for the female foot, I hope Evins is rtght. I'm for the stiletto shape, despite its drains on finances for heel replacement when breakage occurs. And, de spite the sullen gripes of my shoemaker that "lady, I can't put a new tup on that... there's no room for a nail." But the industry says it has both these problems pretty well whipped. The new stilettos come in "unbreakable" plastic, have a steel spike through the center, or are of all steel. Manufacturers also have devel oped "lifetime lifts" which screw on instead of nail on. Some of the heels with a central metal shank still have wood for the repairman to nail to. "Only he's got to use small nails,'' said Bill Valentine, a designer at Herbert Levine's. The Shoe Institute forecasts a "whole new interest" in the med ium heel for daytime. This is from 14 eighths to 18 eighths. Other notes from toe to heel: Higher vamps are forecast for fall: Some manufacturers, Levine in cluded, continue with the elongat ed look to both daytime and even ing shoes, but with the point sliced off for a "squared" look. The high heel is a long-time fashion in footwear some sources credit its invention to Leonardo da Vinci, better known for his painting of "The Last Supper." In any case, say historians at the Traphagen School df Fashion, the first high, curved heels were an established fashion by the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Sea Thes. In Our Ntw Gift Dept.

Vet quite often your dry cleaner must also be an expert in "wet clean ing." Many of t h e stains which soil clothes re-. quire wet, cleaning orlk even washing... i t. to remove. Such common sum mertime stains as those from alcoholic beverages and soft drinks are examples. Ice cream and many. food, stains are wat er soluble and are best remov ed by water or moisture. Perspiration' m another stain ing agent which may have to be removed by wet cleaning in those areas whore it has left the heaviest deposits and caused stiffening of the fab ric. This problem occurs most often during the hot weather months as the result of repeat ed perspiration. In addition, dry cleaners some times turn to moisture spotting where soil is deeply imbedded in a fabric to such an extent that water is needed to loosen it In all such cases, wet clean ing is a supplement to dry clraning. Whatever is needed to restore vour fine garments to like-new condition, clean and fresh and wrinkle-free, you can be sure of the finest cleaning when you call on our experience. f'RAIG'S NU WAY CLEANERS 1708 Sixth Phone WO 3 2311 Summerville News By NELLIE TUCK Obierver Correspondent Frank Doles.
