Feet First By Joe Patella BURELSON'S SHOE SALON Main 4 Bartlett Something haopened in the store the other day to convince me doesn't do any good to give advice. Each of ut has to learn from bitter experience. This young couple came in, and she asked to see what was new in our fall fashions. I sensed immediately they were newly-married because he didn't know enough to go off in a corner to sit quietly, the way any well-trained old married hand would. Instead, he plunked down beside hei and started a string of wise-cracks about women's taste in shoes. She never said a word, but 1 no ticed the more sarcastic he became the more shoes she tried on. I felt sorry for the guy so, while his wife was in front of the mirror admirin' a particularly beautiful pair of shoes, I said friendly-like, ' Take a tip, tel low, let up on the needling." I guess he thought ! was afraid he would queer my sale. He laughed, and i wasn't a bit friendly. Well, he went on teasing. Then he made this remark about how intell gent men were about their shoes, how thev d sooner go barefoot tnan caught dead in some new-fangled fashion. That did it. His bride's pretty blue eyes glared over with ice. Using iust those icy blue eyes and nodding her head in approval, she selected four pairs of shoes, then stood up He followed suit, pleased as puncn. He hadn't heard her say a word about taking any of the shoes, so he figured he'd won, When he saw me wrapping the four boxes, he looked surprise. "No show the man how intelligent you are," his wife said with acid sweet ness. "Show him you can sign your name to a check for $60.75." I Right then, that newly-wed hus ! band won my lasting admiration. In ' a single second he graduated from the ranks of novices to join all us I professionals he never uttered an other peep, just timidly drew out his : checkbook, silently wrote the check. As they left the store (he was carry ing the shoes) I heard her say, "You'd rather go barefoot anyway, wouldn't ; you, dear? adv.
