Variety of Shoes for Spring Give Modern Spectator Look It's spectator spring In women's shoes, but witli an exciting new difference says the Shoe Fashion service of Leather Industries of America. Instead of few classic brown or navy and white styles the 1960 spectator gives inspira tion to dozens and dozens of new shoes for every occasion Exquisite leathers smooth and grained calf, suede, glace and woven kid, brushed leath ers as soft as swan's down, gleaming patent leathers are imaginatively combined and stamped with the modern spectator look. Low-Priced Ninety-five per cent of the new leather spectators are in the low-to-modnrate price category, scaled to the average budget. In daytime shoes, wide per forations vie with tiny ones In smooth calf, in wing-tip pat terns and bands of neat stitch ing along the top of the shoe! Set on a low or mid heel, in self or stacked leather, it's a versatile all-occasion shoe for pnussniniMWM hi ' ,f1 Km r " - f ' ' " ' ft" , If o , ; TRAVELLING COMPANIONI -This good-looking, braid trimmed suit Is In a rich-tex tured slub-weave of rayon, Eastman Estron and silk.

By Ann Fogarty. the urbanite or suburbanite. In other styles, smooth or grained leather toes with fleur de lis designs contrast with brushed or suede leather bodies, in lighter shades of brown, blue, purple or gray. The boot look adds still more excitement to the spring scene! Instead of coming up above the ankles, the spring boot-pump and walking ox ford with its high-rising vamp merely "suggests" a boot. To keep these high-risers light enough for spring com fort, the lightweight leather uppers have large perforations or slits, vamp or instep cut out, or open-collar effects at the top of the vamp. Spectators Popular Contrasting leather textures are tops more now, since the spectator style especially lends itself so well to combi nations. Washable white leathers, with strongly defined grains, will be extremely popular! Be sides obviously easy-care ad vantage, washable white is as porous as other leathers keep ing feet cool and comfortable! In after-dark shoes, the spectator look is also used to fascinating advantage! Design ers dot the leather with tiny nailheads, rhinestones or mar- casites in spectator patterns. Textures Used Leather textures are con trasted, as in black suede with a black patent ... or as in royal purple suede with a scal loped edge trimmed in gold calf, or the style In which strips of glistening gold and silver kid are interwoven. Trim leather soles, with unique shape-holding quali ties, help underline the neat line of the spectator look. Extended soles are often outlined in black to focus at tention on the tapered, point ed, oval or squared-off silhou ette of the shoe. 12 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. B Wednesday, Apr, 20, 1 960 Neekiear Joins Bolder Patterns In men's neckwear, it's well to join the swing to bright and bolder colors and pat terns - in shantung silks, fou lards, or reps. Marking a trend away from the subdued tones of past sea sons, the new ties greet the spring like a festival of cheer -complete in tune with the spirit of things. Spring neckwear is light, bright and colorful. Medallion effects, scroll and tapestry prints will be featured as well as rich brocades, satins and jacquards in the Continental manner. The Ivy section stresses rep stripes and wool challies for the traditionalists. Foulard prints and woven cot tons with an antique look will be popular.
