Lightweight Coat
Must for Spring
For chill spring days, a light
weight topcoat is a "must," and
the leading styles for spring are
the light, lightweight tweeds,
with the lightweight wool gab
ardines next in line.
Roomy, but with a minimum
of bulk, the loose-fitting raglan
sleeved topcoats will be the
choice of many men. But there's
a style for every taste single
breasted with set-in sleeves, or
the more formal tailored double
breasted models.
The color trend continues
away from dark shades to light
and medium tones, with gray
the leading basic color, except
In gabardines, where it will be
tan.
Away from the city, men will
find many outdoor hours of
warmth and relaxation in short
outer jackets. You can find these
"car coats" in plain colors or
shaggy wool tweeds (some with
convertible hoods) with distinc
tive wood or leather buttons and
"railroad"' stitching.
Spring rainwear offers a wide
choice of models, including both
single and double-breasted
styles, trench coats, balmacaans,
knee - lengths and reversibles
(dark on one side and light on
the other.)
Longer Gloves Accent Spring's Slim Lines

wear come to the fore in new

gloves, although the classic
shortie continues important. The
longer gloves are liked to accent
slim lines and to wear with capes

shoulder lines as they gently
taper to waist or just-below-waist
length, giving only the
merest hint of fitted curves to
the silhouette. To carry out the
balance, skirts make use of open
pegged pleating, creating the
rounded hip effect with gentle
tapering to reed-slimness at the
bottom.
Detachable Capeleis
Detachable capelets, a new
and important note in spring
suit fashions, add to the round
ed grace of the silhouette. The
influence of Dior's magnet or
"Dutch Boy" look, combining
top and bottom symmetry, is in
evidence throughout the spring
line of suits.
While the pegged, pleated or
"Dutch Boy" skirt is one of 'this
spring's most important suit
skirt fashions, the eased slim
line in skirts is also obtained by
the side draped skirt, the tunic
skirt and the panel back skirt.'
On the fuller side, all-around
knife or pressed box pleats, and J
the bell skirt featuring open, un
pressed pleats play a significant
role.
Eased Skirts
The emphasis on eased skirts
calls most naturally for the
short and to retain the fluid
grace of the silhouette the oh,
so lightly fitted jackets.
Other jacket lengths range
from waist to hip-bone length.
Styles include the bloused back,
belted or tied at the waist, and
the box jacket, as well as the
semi-fitted silhouette.
Hinted at in fall fashions and
now reaching fashion's fore
point are the suit capes, three
quarter length oval capes which
replace the jacket, detachable
elbow length capes which com
plement the jacket, and hip
length cocoon and full capes.
Children's Shoes
Take Adult Styles
Children's feet will be ' seen
more and heard less this spring.
Their new shoes are styled to
look more like the grown-ups,
with eye - catching innovations
that make them almost ai indi
vidual as the youngsters who
wear them. And they're made of
lighter, softer leathers that are
easier on young feet and on
everybody's ears.
Favored for school are the ox
ford and loafer, often in glove
soft smooth ' leather, buckskin
and soft suedes, and sometimes
in pigskin with both natural and
buffed finishes.
Black and brown are popular
color choices for boys' shoes, but
some sport newer shades such as
ivytone, camel and butternut.
For girls, there are many
black and white combinations,
some beiges and more all-white
than in other years.
Styles show greater differ
ences between boys' and girls'
shoes. Boys' oxfords are cut more
conventionally, and display mud
guard effects and toe reinforce
ments, while girls' oxfords often
have peaked tongues and dainty
stitching.
Loafers are generally longer
and slimmer, with gored sides
and tassels for boys' styles, while
the girls favor drapes and tucks
on toes, insets of vari-colored
leather and scalloped tops.
. For girls, too, are dainty black
patent or white buck sandals
with one strap.
Like their fathers', boys dress
oxfords in conventional four or
five eyelet styles are fashioned
of shinier, more lustrous leather.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE TOE
Shoe Sheath to Dominate Women's Foowear in '57
The shoe sheath newest
fashion trend in women's shoes
since high buttons went out of
style dominates the passing
scene below the ankle this
spring.
It's an artfully designed
pump, closed up front and back,
with tapered toes for a slender
look, and it's crafted in every
leather . imaginable ' smooth,
suede, grain, patent.
Shoe colors are light neutrals
such as dove gray, sandbark aid
nougat beiges; new pastels such
as primrose yellow and bubble
blue; or strong rich shades such
as flight blue, orange and tur
quoise. Touches of white add a spec
ial freshness.
Textures show brightness, for
grainy as well as smooth shoe
leathers come in lustered or
highly polished finishes, and
suedes are short-napped with a
rich gloss.
Guild patent, newly grained
or familiarly smooth, is much
in evidence, in black or color,
alone or in combination with
shiny calf or kid, or colored
suede.
Casual shoes and spectators
have taken to leather linings
in checkered striped, swirled,
floral and lace-like web designs
of many colors brighter than
the shoe itself.
Toes are pointed in many
different manners. Flats may
have a blunted point or a point
like a wide "V."
Most daytime shoes have
moderately pointed toes of
varying length, while late day
and evening ' shoes come to a
long, elegant, sharpened point.
Shape of the toe helps determ
ine that of the heels, with
points of varying degrees taking
the sharp stiletto, the delicately
rounded mid-heel or the low
Louis.
Even stacked leather heels on
flats are related to the elon
gated shape of the toe.
The classic pump silhouette is
varied by such devices at
tongues in petal shapes, laced
"weskits," straps over the in
step (lower than last year), spat
effects and new low-cut designs
on the toe.

find a Faith
to live by . . .
It's quiet inside. Quiet with the peace
of centuries, for this is God's House.
Within these walls, the worries whicli
loomed so large outside become
less fearsome ... for the first time perhaps
you see them in their true perspective.
If this alone were the reward of Faith, it
would be enough. But there is more.
Faith is a source of strength, a reservoir
of power that helps you meet the needs
of every day. By worshiping with your
family each week at your church or
synagogue, you're giving them a measure of
security no amount of money could buy.
The Faith to hope ... to grow ... to live by
Build a stronger, richer life
