On the one hand (ex cuse us foot), are the close cousins to street slip-ons and sports casuals, called "Porch and Patio" or "Indoor-Outdoor" types. One smart example with a d'orsay topline is in a mock reptile leather waggishly named "mocco crocko." Strictly for indoors, a hand some red velvet slipper will surely appear under many a Christmas tree. Banded with black grosgrain across the in step, it also has rich black braid around the top. Another gift candidate is a high front slipon in black pat ent, with a thin wedge heel of rubber and a semi-soft sole. Both of these slippers are guar anteed to please the smoking jacket devotees. On the other hand, or foot, are the toe toasting and pam pering soft slippers of felt, fab ric, vinyl or leather, unlined or made cozy with foam or imi tation fur. One true moccasin in this category is in antiqued brown glove leather with a lin ing of beaver-like shearling. A high front d'orsay in grainy black leather looks conserva tive indeed until you see the lining of fireman's red sheared lamb's wool. A black leather mule which has a rather daring cut is sedately lined with black pile. In other words, to quote the National Shoe institute, "the man at leisure can have his toe-wriggling foot comfort and good looks too. HOW TO SAVE A big man might save him self some shoe money by reduc ing, according to the National Shoe institute. If a man weigns 200 pounds, he puts a pounding pressure of 88 tons on each shoe every time he walks a mile! Parents and teachers are the first line of defense against a child growing up with many foot difficulties. By including feet in the reg ular health examination and by teaching good health habits early in life, many foot prob lems can be prevented. Treat ment of children's feet is de signed to correct and prevent the child's lapsing into bad foot habits. Nature provides nearly all children with perfect feet. Children's feet grow rapidly, at certain ages growing a full size or even more in a month or two. It takes as long as ten years before the bones of the arches are wholly formed, but it is not until the age of 20 that the feet are completely devel oped, says the National Shoe institute. In order to understand this subject more fully, let us start at birth and consider the child's foot through its various stages of development. There are over 200 bones in the human body, and one-fourth of them are in the feet. In a small baby the bones of the body are soft and pliable, of a cartilaginous na ture rather than actual bone. As the child grows and devel ops, various bones in the body become impregnated with cal cium and thus become hardened or true bone. In this process the heels is the last in the entire body to become hardened. This usually occurs at 16 to 18 years of age, but often as late as 20. Fat Pads' It follows, therefore, that a small baby's foot is a soft, pli able structure, easily distorted by pressure and strain. His foot is protected by "fat pads which sometimes give a flat foot appearance when the child begins weight bearing. These "fat pads" are Nature's way of protecting the delicate struc ture, and they will disappear as the foot develops. As soon as a child begins pull ing himself up and putting weight on his feet, shoes be come a necessity. He will not begin walking until his founda tion is strong enough to hold weight. Don't force him. The absolute essential for normal foot development in infancy is complete freedom of motion. As an infant grows in size, he also grows in activity. See how often he flexes and kicks his feet and legs! All this ac tivity develops the structures which must later support the body and propel it forward. Anything which restricts movement also restricts devel opment. For instance, it has been recognized in recent years that constant "tummy sleep ing" in infancy, with the lower extremities in one position, will often cause an awkward gait when the child begins to walk. The deformity called "pigeon toe" is an example. It is, there fore, advisable to change the child's position from time to time during the period of early infancy when he is unable to roll over by himself. In sum, the child who walks in comfort from babyhood on, is the child who does walk. If walking is pleasurable, he will make it a lifelong habit. With approximately 60 thousand miles of walking to do during life, an early start with ade quate foot care makes sense. ni.. ink - FRESH SHAPES. COLORS Children's shoes are simple and sensible, couched with the magic of fresh shapes and colors. Our young arrogant elegants are admiring a black patent party shoe with cutout shank and instep strap, and a high front almost boot in soft black calfskin.

Pumps that are tossed un tended into a closet with a pile of other shoes after wearing will age when not in use. Dust 1 gathers rapidly, scuffing results, and shoes without trees may lose their good looks and shape early in life. But if they are polished or j brushed and fitted with trees before they are stored on a rack or in boxes, shoes will look i fresh when worn again, says the I National Shoe institute. ! In today's space - conscious ; home, every inch counts. This j makes efficient shoe storage of prime importance. Every wom an has, of course, her own ideas on how she likes her closets arranged. She may prefer to use the floor or the closet door for shoe storage. Or she may like to have shelves erected on the walls at either side of the door or at the rear of the closet. All of these methods are work able as long as the shoes have sufficient space and their prop er place, avoiding crowding. Use Boxes An eminently practical solu tion to the problem is to use the boxes footwear is pur chased in. These sturdy card board containers serve ideally as dust covers for fabric, suede and out-of-season shoes. They can also be used, of course, for all footwear. With care and proper handling the boxes will last the lifetime of the shoes, j An arrangement of three or four boxes, placed side by side, and with the remainder of boxes stacked neatly on top, will cre ate a shoe "chest." Each box can be made to function like a drawer if the lip of one of the narrow sides of the lid is re moved, and a small pull Is in serted directly below on the box itself. In this way you need only pull the shoe drawer half way out to remove or replace the shoes.
