Associated Press Women's Editor
Women's feet have grown more
than three sizes in the last two
generations, but they look smaller
in the new airily constructed shoes
consisting of few wispy straps,
a thin sole and a teetering heel.
This is the considered opinion
of some of the country's top ex-
lperts on such matters. including
Irving E. Glass, executive vice
president of the Tanners Council;
Doris B. Beechman of the Guild
of Better Shoe Manufacturers.
Alice Dowd of the National Shoe
Institute and Louis B. Keane, vice
president of the A. S. Beck Shoe
Corp, which produces more than
5 million pairs annually.
Moreover, the little woman will
be able to afford more shoes this
year than at any time in the last
generation, says Glass, who points
out that the sharp drop in leather
prices has made shoes one of the
Nations best buys today.
You'll be seeing shoe bargains
advertised more and more as fall
approaches, this expert says, be-
cause hide and skin prices are
lower than at any time since
World War II. and in some cases
have reached a prewar level. Glass
feels this is a healthy condition.
He doesn't like to see shoe prices
so high that all Uncle Sans chill
Ilun can't have shoes.
Americans buy about 480 million
pairs Of shoes per year. Women
buy slightly more than four pairs
per year and men slightly less
than two pairs. Just as a, matter
of contrast. the experts point out

Watches Are Versatile

To some the idea of wearing a
watch is strictly a utilitarian kind
of thing. Most women are agreed,
however, that watch should be a
pretty piece of jewelry at the same
time it serves as a timepiece.
An enterprising jewelry estab-
ishment right off Connecticut
avenue has produced a number of
watch designs incorporating many
interesting points.
Using sapphires and diamonds
which they have worked into
squares, crescents and other IA
carat gold mountings, the jewelers.
have seen to it that the "jeweled
ends" can also prove versatile.
Should a woman tire of wearing
her watch in the pictured manner,
she can have the "jeweled ends
detached and made into tiny pins,
earrings, or attach them to a disc

Problems
Today
Runaway Wife
Now Wants Her
Young Daughter
By Muriel Nissen

Dear Miss Nissen: I wrote you
several weeks ago. but have never
seen my problem in the paper.
Win you please answer 1t now?
We have two daughters, one
and the other 8 years
old. The younger child has spent
most of her life in boarding school.
My wife never wanted to stay
home and care for the child; she
always wanted to work. I could
only see my daughter every other
week end as that was the rule Of
the school.
For the past year my wife hasn't
been satisfied with anything I've
done for her, though I spent lot
of money on new furniture and for
things around the house. A few
months ago she packed up and
left me, going to her aunt in
California. I have sent her money.
but she writes that she doesn't
love me any more.
Now she wants me to send our
daughter to her in June. My older
daughter is against my doing so.
and so. naturally, am !. My little
daughter doesn't want to go
either. My wife refuses to tell me
how long she intends to be away.
and has even suggested that I get
"a divorce If I want one. I still love
her so, of course, q divorce is out
of the question. Smitty.
ANSWER: I'm sorry you had
no answer to your first letter. but
since it is impossible to use in
this column all the mail I re-
ceive, many readers are bound to
be disappointed. However. had
you included your name and ad-
dress in either the first or second
letters, your problem could have
been answered by personal letter.
You will be making big mis-
take If you let your wife have her
way about your young daughter.
Since the child is happy with you
and her sister. and the mothers
instability is no indication that
she can give the youngster care.
keep your child.
Let your wife get over her tenn
permanent in her own way. When
she realizes how completely she
has cut herself off from her fam
lily, she'll be glad to come home
and settle down. Women Of mid
die age are prone to all sorts Of
eccentricities, and q patient, un-
derstanding family is their only
salvation. Your wife's desertion
indicates an alteration that really
was foretold in her growing rest
lessness and dissatisfaction with
home conditions. Perhaps her
aunt will see that she gets ade-
quate medical care. which will
probably 60 a long way in restor-
ing her Dalance.
No 8-year-old girl should be
sent to boarding school except in
case of grave emergency: Ger
tainly the mothers unwillingness
to care for her doesn't come under
that heading. When, and if. your
wife returns, try to keep the child
at home. Her presence will be
good for the whole family. as well
as giving her q more normal life.
Don't nag your wife about COM
ing home. In your letters, accept
her continued absence as q mat
ter of course. She'll soon realize
that her place is with you and
the children.
