FASHION NOTEBOOK
His Soft Shoe
Routine Is Great

the very distinguished look
ing grey-haired man becomes
Shoedom's greatest exponent
of the thing all shoes should
possess-comfort.
He's a man who's heard
plenty Of complaints in his
day from women about their
feet. None Of the complaints
we're overlooked when we
talked with him. There's the
burning sensation; the COM
ment I'D wear a high FASH
ion shoe II 1t would be a
walking shoe" and the con-
verse statement: also that
American women would walk
more If their shoes we're more
comfortable.
That's true" he points
out. Women in all walks Of
life hate TO be slowed down
by aching feet. The comfort
factor is probably a bigger
barrier TO the acceptance of
new shoe styling than any
other one, he feels.
But Dalsan's Flights" he
hopes will catch the fancy Of
the women who want soft.
supple shoes with high
fashion appeal. Bending one

Flexible upper butter-soft
feathers also contribute to
the idea that comfort and
great shoe beauty can be
combined. What's more. the
Florentine brown color Of the
sole remains the same after
lots Of walking.
Packing Revolution
A bit of a packing revolu-
ton may come about indi-
rectly through the new Dali
san shoes, Mr.. PoSen points
out. Frame Menge, whose
uncle founded the factory in
Dolgeville. is a op-flight shoe
technician who may soon al

shoes they can pack into a
suitcase. Since there is no
pressure at any point. the
shoes which come in dress
maker pump styles, strap
pumps, tie fronts, and hal
tiers double up and take UP
very little space.
The shape stays in though
the shoes flex and mold with
the movement OF the foot,
Mr.. Posen. president Of the
firm, indicated. Another point
that gets an airing by him,
is that high heels on a sup
pie shoe can still let the
woman wearing them have
proper balance.
Joan Brooks. who modelled
the shoes for our layout,
observed that this season she
was more interested in shoes
than any other accessory.
Chemise Tie
On trying on the new
"chemise tie" shoe with the
instep strap lacing she sighed
saying, "Oh. how comfort

lam glad that Ira Levin's
L "Interlock" has won a
reprieve at the National. 1t
Is definitely the new play to
see In Washington, and not
just on the comparative
ground that it is vastly SUI
perior TO the bulk Of what
we have been having. 1t is
an intelligent melodrama,
adroitly enacted by Celeste
Holm and her associates.
There is a certain dis
crepancy between the out
ward show, the surface de-
tails, of "Interlock" and the
theatrIcal-literary quality
of 1t. The plot involves a
beautiful, scheming widow
in a wheelchair, and a frus-
trated concert pianist.
There is q considerable to-
do about the accident that
crippled the widow and
killed her husband. A big
, speed-boat smashup. The
question is: Who was at
the wheel? The stage set
ting is adorned by a huge
portrait Of the lady Of the
manor, suggesting a blow
up from the Prominent
Society Matrons" section Of
an old fashion magazine.
Well, 1t all looks q bit
