o o WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 21, 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. c Neatness Dominates Neckwear Fashions Neatness is the dominating theme in neckwear for Fall 1960. Even in the relatively few prints around, such as in traditional foulards and geo metries, the accent is on neat appearance and clean, fresh design. In the challis types, a fashion - conscious man can find neat interpretations of large paisleys, many "conver sationals" and interesting Per sian block patterns. In stripes there are bright flashes of color and a revival of the "smoky" tones. In the woven category, there are many textured ef fects, resulting from interest ing j a c q u a r d treatments. There are also handsome un-der-the-knot accents and cen ter panel effects. Color news in the new sea son neckwear stresses a new "frosted look," many light blue and silvery tones, olive and gold-in combination or separately-and the new "vin tage" colors popping up all over the place in flashes of purple. One intriguing note is that because of the great popular ity, of tab collar shirts, nar rower ties - some measuring only l'2 inches-are getting a comparatively good play. ' For Values on !

The Family Council Editor's Note: The Family Council consists of a Judse, a psychia trist, three clergymen, three editors and a women's editor. Kach article is a summary of an actual case history. The Council reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Mark J She started it now I want a divorce. Natalie J. Is it too late to start again? Mark J. My wife and I are in our late 40s and have been married nearly 20 years. We have two teenage youngsters. About ten years ago I learn ed that Natalie had been un faithful to me with more than one man. She suggested that I go ahead and follow her example as long as we didn't break the home. She wanted us to remain together for the children's sake. After several years of liv ing this way, I have at last found a woman I love very much. We want to get married and establish a decent life. Natalie refuses to grant me a divorce. But I feel the way we are living is intolerable. Natalie J I told Mark the score in the beginning. I nev er had the slightest intention of destroying our home. I certainly don't want to do it at this time when our daugh ter is just 16 and needs a home. I realize I have been the one at. fault in this situation. I felt that Mark and I were emotionally unsuited to one another, but that we had a right to some happiness. I would do anything to repair the damage now. Is it too late to start again? We are getting on in years. The woman Mark claims to love is 15 years younger than he is. A marriage would never work. Our children would be victims. The Council: The children have been victims in this home for a long time. Although Natalie has had some sort of idea of "holding the home together" the emo tional rift between husband and wife has surely not been unnoticed by the children. They have undoubtedly been deeply hurt as a result of the breach. What can be done now? Natalie is no longer justi fied speaking in the name of her children. After all, she was first to destroy their emo tional security. Natalie must now speak for herself. We suspect that she has at last discovered she real ly wants her husband for him helf not purely for the sake Lightweight Shoe Popular for Fall There's a new "high-light" flashing across the men's wear fashion scene this fall. It's a higher cut, lightweight leath er shoe for dress wear, re ports Shoe Fashion Service of Leather Industries of America. Generally tapered to a finer point, in keeping with the slim lines of this year's Ivy and American Continental suits, these shoes are availa ble in dozens of different style interpretations in smooth, grained and even brushed leathers. An extension of the "more shoe" look which has recent ly characterized American male footwear fashion, these new styles remain light afoot. Most often found as a slip-on, of a home for the children. Perhaps she is now ready to give her love fully. She must then find a way of expressing it. We agree with Mark that life under the present condi tions is intolerable. We can only urge him to put an end to his extramarital attach ment and make the effort to find emotional contentment with a wife who has gained some wisdom through sad ex perience. (Copyright 1960, General Features Corp.) " they use elastic gores to keep the shoe snugly on the foot. They are available in an ex tended range of blacks, browns and burnished olive. The greener tones and the combinations of black with brown complement fall's glen plaids, worsteds and tweeds. The trend to slimmer sil houettes in men's shoes con tinues in three-eyelet dress bluchers, slip-ons and stylized wingtips. More pointed toes arc seen in bluchers and bnl oxfords this fall. Moccasin fronts, increasingly popular this year, also show tapered influences. In the main, though, moc-toe shoes remain fairly rounded or squared off. In casual shoes, the slip-on is most often seen. Brushed and smooth leather shoes are most popular in casual styles, although a number of leisure type shoes are available in deeply etched grain leathers. Ankle-high chukkas are a favored fall shoe for week end knocking-about. Loden green, charcoal brown and slate are among the more popular colors in c h u k k a boots. PICK PLUM Plum is newsiest fall col or for girls' fashions. Brassy green, warm browns, smoky blues are more news. Pencil-Slim Toe Declared Latest In Fall Fashion Sharply pointed shoes ta per to a pencil - slim toe in this fall's newest styles. The whittled look in dressy, casu al and day wear. Pumps, spectators, flats, casuals and even moccasin type leisure wear show sharp ly pointed toes, reports Shoe Fashion Service of Leather Industries of America. There are varying interpre tations of the pointed toe, ranging from the "single" needle - moderately tapered to the high-fashion quadru ple needle or "missile toe" that measures a bare quarter of an inch at the toe tip. Suede, brushed leather, lustered, smooth and grained leather shoes are molded to modified or acute "missile toes" to go into orbit around the world of fashion. While the "outer space" of of the new shoes is held to a fine line, new scientific tan ning methods result in ultra flexible leather that enables shoes to make their fashion point without sacrificing foot comfort. Many new pumps feature cut-out, and cut-out effects achieved through complemen tary color underlays. Con trasting textures make news in casual shoes with special detailing on vamps and shanks. Many styles have draped, pleated and perforated fronts to accent the narrow toe sil houette. Both texture and color in terest are evident. Luster lea ther is seen ,in mauves, pur ples and magentas for eve ning wear. Evening pumps in soft crushed leather fin ishes appear in antiqued gold and bronze, to accent elegant dresses for special occasions. Brown is in a leading color position in daytime pumps, casual moccasins, walking shoes. Very high heels write a new fashion note in pencil slim beauties that rise to three and a half inches - a half-inch higher than the pop ular "spike" dress heal. Both casual and suit shoes stand on mid-heels of stacked leather. r t ""v -if SILHOUETTE - Needle toe, a leading fall silhouette in femi nine footwear, is illustrated by this violet smooth leather pump for late day and eve ning wear. Shoes by Custom-craft. Aristocratic Ideas For Fabrics Seen Fabrics have aristocratit ideas for fall. Woolens, silks, the man-made wonder fibers and cottons cxcell in quality, presenting a distinctive, dis tinguished appearance. Elegant woolens impress the eye with dimensional tex tures and airy weaves, often enriched by mohair loops or slubs. Last season's success with worsted ottoman stimu lates the liking for ribbed and corded weaves, with many herringbones and twills add ed. Rich-looking gabardines make a strong showing, espec ially in smartly tailored dress es. Knits are everywhere, and in every texture - brushed, homespun, lacy, smooth and languid. Others reflect the look of fall's handsome rustic tweeds. Dressy woolens include peb bly crepes and sheer, eye catching textures. Wool prints gain new importance in dress es for the festive hours. An aura of luxury ema nates from fur blends, lus trous velours, wool chinchil las, camels and cashmere. Gleaming silks for all hours and brocades and metallics for evening continue in the luxurious vein. Man - made fibers, cottons ond blends achieve new ele gance. The wonder fibers for example, realistically copy the look of silk and cottons and blends are styled like fine quality wools. Taking note of the fact that there's a lot of warm weather in the fall, fashion presents many more cottons. Comfort is furthered by the prevalence; of wash and wear qualities -achieved with or without syn thetics blended in. VALUE-PACKED DAYS! Reap' BIG SAVINGS!
