Many of us can be our own mill
liners or dressmakers if the occasion
demands, but Cleo Mayfield is the
only woman I know who al be her
own shoemaker as well.
When she needs new pumps she
buys the raw material-satin, suede
or French kid-gets out her last and
goes to work and makes them.
81 learned to make my own shoes
in order tt get what I wanted" she
explained. II got so tired of trying
to tell shoemakers, most of whom
did not speak my language and 1
couldn't speak theirs, what 1 want
ed, so finally in desperation 1 got an
Italian cobbler to teach me how to
make them myself.
"I put in about a year of honest
apprenticeship before 1 learned how
to turn out the finished product, bur
it was worth it.. Now I not only can
copy any shoes I see, but I a carry
tut my original designs"
First Russian Boots
Miss Mayfield has originated sew
erals tyles in shoes. She made the
first pair Of Russian boots to be
shown in this country, and she de-
signed the shoe which laced in the
back instead of the front.
She has made several pairs OF
riding boots, and during the war she
made moceasins which were sent tt
soldiers instead of knitting socks.

slippers for any amount Of money

but long before I really learned to
make shoes / used to make leather
baby boots out of the tops of my
cid white kid gloves.
Even now I frequently make a
pair of slippers out of the good ma
terial in an old brocade evening
frock or part of a discarded satin
frock. By making my shoes out Of
the very best materials they wear
~splendidly.
About Ten Days
"It usually takes me about 10 days
or more to make a pair, and during
the year I make about a dozen pairs
for myself, and several for my
| friends. Shoes that would cost me
SIS in the shops I can make for
about half that amount. And they
give me double service"
Miss Mayfield has another un-
usual fad. She is papering the bill
lard room of her summer home
with cancelled postage stamps.
During the year she v all the
stamps she gets on letters, and peo-
pie who know of her fad send her
large supplies Of them. She mounts
these on large squares of cardboard,
which she tacks to the wall. This
gives a queer mosaic effect that rear
ly is much more decorative than it
sounds. She expects to complete the
wall in the billiard room this year.
ST have to keep myself occupied
when I'm not on the stage, z
shoe-making and paperhanging
seem best suited to my talents" shs
concluded.
