the brown shades.
There follow then the blues
and green's, and the puppies and
greys which are usually selected
to wear with one ensemble.
AS reported above, suede Is
the favorite material for dress
shoes, but the increased call for
tailored and casual shoes places
a new Importance on smooth and
grained feathers.
For dress shoes the new Fall
styles reveal a feud between the
very low cut pump and very
high cut boot line. The latter
employs the new elasiticized
feathers, which take the place
of fastenings formerly used.
Some sandals are shown be-
cause some women's feet are
best fitted in them, hut they have
given way to the various de-
signs of slip-onS, 10 large ex-
tent.
The smooth feathers and grain
ed feathers are used for walk
ing shoes and respond to real
wear by mellowing and deep
ening in tone in most crafty
ing fashion. The Improvement
in various polishes for these
shoes has widened their scope
of fashion.
Casual shoes,s the result of
Summer play shoes, are a
must in any smart woman's
shoe wardrobe. Inspired by In
dian moccasins, by beach shoes
and bedroom slippers, they
maintain their popularity by
their supreme comfort and nov.
city.
The trend toward lower heels,
seen in all shoes for Fall and
Winter wear, is the direct re-
suit of the comfort of Summers
shoes. Some very high heels
are to be seen, but even the So
called high style shoes are now
featuring lower heels.
The open versus the closed toe
is raging again, but the increased
Importance of tailored toys for
women for general wear is clos
ing many toes. These tailored
shoes play up the walled toes,
both square and round, which
won their popularity not only
for their comfort, but also be-
cause they make the foot look
shorter.
These leading style points can
all be found in the K. T. Nun
ncley store, and in addition.
there is splendid line of nurses
oxfords, and children's ortho-
poedic shoes.

Survey of New Fall Shoe Styles
Reveals Black Suede Leading

THEY SAY that a woman's
face will show it if her feet are
not comfortable. Women know
that their faces will reflect it
almost equally if their feet are
not also smart.
The E. T. Nunneley shoe store
specializes in shoes that satisfy
both needs, in lines to satisfy
the varying tastes of discriminate
ing shoppers.
A survey of the new Fall lines
for women show that black, as
always, and this year, black
suede, is far and away the Fash
ion leader in shoes, because of
the popularity of black clothes
for Fall and Winter. Next comes

ness and "dress" wear and there
are styles to fit and flatter every
figure. Following the trend to
more casual lines, the new suits
are softly tailored, have longer
jackets approximately 26 inch
to q inch in lengthy, and their
skirts are gently flared or gor-
ed, with all-around pleated
skirts most popular. The well
tailored boxier boys suit with
three button front closing, vent

favorite with college and career
girls. Then there's the shirt

suit with three button closing

the cardigan suit, or the very

PLAID SUITS STAR
Headed for tremendous popu-

Your fashion reporter noted it
in many versions, the smartest
of which was the long fitted
jacket with high rounded revers,
all-around stitched pleated skirt.

say it will be Americas favorite.
Equally smart was the dress

set waistband bow tied front
belt, box pleated skirt. We'd
like to add about that inset
waistband, it takes inches from
your waistline, achieves a very
flattering soft bodice effect.

It Is Not Soap Nor Any Group
Or Class That Constitutes
The Great UnwaShed

What really is the "Great Unwash-

people in this United State; soap sales
settle that.
It's not the name of Broadway
hit, a motion picture magazine, a
Publitzer-prize novel, or new theory
of government.
Then what is it? It is the public
drinking glass-modern counterpart
of the old time common cup.
It is the glass that is served in
thousands of eating and drinking
places throughout this wide land. It
is the glass that wasn't washed at
all, or was merely rinsed before it
was handed you. II is the glass that
may comfort 100000 bacteria; but
lipstick may be the only visible sign
of contamination.
1t is this type of glass that looks
clean but may be infected with Trench
Mouth, Diphtheria, tuberculosis, Com
mon Colds, Measles, Pneumonia, Scar
let Fever, Influenza, Cerebro Spinal
Fever and Mumps. It harbors the
saliva-borne diseases that on an aver

where menaces health and offends any
