2 MAIL TRIBUNE, MdforJ. Oregon. Fridjy, February , 1959 ,1 1 1 A men 5 vvedr New Look Brilliant Leathers Shown For Spring, Summer Shoes New York-Brillian leathers set off fireworks in shoe fash ions this week as Leather In dustries of America unveiled the nation's most extensive collection of footwear for spring and summer. ; Virtually every major shoe manufacturer in the country was represented in the show ing of a varied collection of shoes for men, women and children. Overall theme for the show was "Brilliant Leathers-Fireworks of Fashion." Highlight ed were the new leather col ors which will be seen in women's shoes for daytime, evening and casual wear. Most popular colors for the coming season ' include five families: the hot pinks; bril liant reds; the bright, bright blues; salad green and Irish green going into avocado; deep, hot orange and sea coral. There carefree colors give spring shoes a look of clean cut simplicity in calf leathers, kids, silky suedes, side (cow hide) leathers, patent leathers, and brushed and reptile leath ers. In silhouette, women's shoes continue to have the very pointed toe or the flattened, gently squared toe-the latter featured mainly in shoes for daytime and dress wear. The laced square toe is a popular treatment for tailored and leisure shoes. For both women and teen age girls, two tone combina tions in both brilliant leather color and leather texture are prominent in shoe styles for around-the-clock wear. This type of styling is seen in leath er overlays at the toe in spec tator fashion; in color inserts at the heel or vamp; in con trasting color bands at the shoe collar and in various leather texture or color com binations in straps. Heels catch a lot of atten tion in interesting new shapes, ranging from the flat squash heel, through . the shaped stacked leather heel, the deep ly curved Louis heel, to the high, thin stiletto heel. Slimness in children's shoes is the keynote to new fashion, along with lighter construc tion" and greater flexibility made possible by the lighter,' more supple leathers. And youngsters' shoes have a fash ion flair all their own. Although children's shoes are much slimmer than in past seasons, they have been kept in line with the natural con tours of young feet to assure comfort and good fit Parents will welcome good news re garding better wear. New de velopments in sole leather have resulted in a new resin impregnated leather sole that offers 100 per cent more wear with no stretch or curl -yet retains leather's charac teristic "breathing" ability. Color is highlighted in little girls' leather shoes, for both school and dress weai. Little shell pumps and strap styles are most popular. OSC Pamphlet Gives Guide For Weight Control. -.

Described New York-As the curtains part on the spring fashion panorama here, it is apparent that the news from the men's fashion world is for once more dramatic than that which stems from the distaff fash ion market. While womens' - clothes are headed back to greater con servatism away from any "new look" and toward more fitted waistlines and classic styles-the men are making news with a completely new silhouette known as the "con tinental." " The new suit styling, with its most elegant, custom look, has affected all men's apparel for spring, a market check shows. Michael Daroff, one of the country's largest manufac turers of men's clothing, calls, it the most important style change in men's wear in 10 years and one which will eventually affect all the fash ions a man wears. It is marked by a higher, squarer shoulder line and a shorter jacket with cut-away front, peaked lapels and side vents. The trousers are pleat ed, tapered and cuff less. The total effect of the new suit style is to make a man look taller,' shapelier and more ele gant. . ' Suiting colors are still on the dark side, but they aren't plain. Unusual but conserva tive patterns and interesting color effects through patterns give a new look of richness to these fabrics. Many of them are said to offer performance miracles. Suits that look like silk go through the washing machine as easily as shirts. Riverside Club Names Winners Forty players took part in the weekly session of River side Bridge club Wednesday afternoon.

Get ready forrnd PUT YOUR HEART ... in an envelope Nothing Matches Monopoly As Best-Seller in Games Br PATRICIA McCORMACK United Preci International New York- (DPD -Ever since Charles Darrow struck it rich with his "Monopoly" game, fertile minds have been try ing to come up with some thing better or at least as good. - But in 25 years there's been nothing to match Mo nopoly as a best-selling game, according to Robert B. M. Barton, president of the firm Parker Brothers , that makes it. More, than 2,500 game ideas streamed into the firm's of fices last year. But half of these were rejected on the spot because they didn't in clude a "working model," Barton said. A few with working models are being mulled over, but the firm isn't talking about them for business reasons. Rejects, according to Barton, concern ideas such as these: -A new design for the checker board. . A game requiring players to use nose as well as noodle. It had "something to do with telling one odor from an other." -A game that required play ers to use "live" bugs. Should Be Entertaining "To get serious attention, a game should be entertain ing, easy to learn, easy to play and not educational," Barton said. Even the inventor of Mo nopoly didn't make it to first base the second time around. Darrow, of Ottsville, Pa., call ed his second game "bulls and bears." It concerned doing on Wall Street. "It went well into produc tion and sold just a little, but soon it wasn't selling at all," Darrow said. "I'm not the greedy type, anyway, so I decided to call it quits. Monopoly keeps us comfortable. Besides no amount of money could make me feel richer than I felt the day the mailman brought my first royalty check from Mo nopoly sales. It was for $8,000." Darrow, now 70, was an unemployed heating sales en gineer when he invented the game "to take the family's mind 'off the depression." Neighbors asked him for copies of the "entertaining game." He made sets by hand and soon got the notion that he should try to sell to a game company. He was turn ed down. He said: "I tried making the game myself, but . by the end of a year I had 20,000 orders and it became apparent that I would have to borrow money and go into the game business on a large scale-or sell out to an established game com pany. ; By the time Darrow reach ed this "bridge," he unex pectedly was helped across by the company that once turned him down. Company officials came to him. He sold. As he put it: "Taking the precepts of Monopoly to heart, I didn't care to speculate. The offer was attractive, so I gladly ac cepted and have never re gretted the decision." But , "millionaire" Darrow could have been a multi-millionaire. During the first 25 years, 20 million sets of Monopoly have been sold, grossing bet ter than $50 million. Last year, sales hit a new high.
