In the past where his

asked himself this.
He's a man who has long
believed in buckSkin. Since
1945 Mr.. Roberts has worked
closely with the leather in
dustry in developing the idea
of moving leather out of a
sports category into the lofty
reaches of the haute couture.
He did just that, with his
first white kidskin coat in
1854. 1t clicked so resound-

They are a child's inSur-

around in both shoes, while
he measures the width and
the fit of the last.
A good rule of thumb is to
choose shoes that measure an
extra three-quarters inch be-
tween the longest toe and the
tip of the shoe and an extra
quarter inch across the ball
of the foot. However, the
salesman sometimes can OBJ
tain a more accurate idea of
fit by concentrating on the
proper fit of the ball of the
foot within the contour of
the last.
The widest portion of the
foot, say shoe statesmen, must
come at the widest point of
the shoes. If the little toe
lies straight in the shoe and
does not curve toward the
other toes, the last is prob
ably right for the child.
Parents should avoid buy
ing shoes which are too long
for the child.
According to expert shoe
filters. the shoe will become
too narrow as the child's foot
grows even though the length
still allows room for growth.
Be sure to change your
child's socks during the day.
Feet get damp from exercise
and a change to dry socks
encourages foot health. Re-
member that socks are out
grown Just as shoes are, and
that socks that are too small
can be as harmful as shoes
that are too small.

New furnishings Of the
White House were shown in
huge color slides yesterday by
Mrs. Lorraine Pearce, White
House curator.
Viewers were hundreds of
women attending an antiques
forum" in the Shoreham
Hotel held during the current
seventh annual Washington
Antiques Show for the bene-
fit of the Thrift Shop.
Mrs. Pearce stressed that
the Fine Arts Committee rec
ognizeS the White House as
many things in one: head
quarters of the executive arm
of the government, home of
the President and his family,
a cultural monument, an his
torical mansion and a SYM
boil of national power and
purpose and of the national
past"
The young curator traced
the history of the mansion
and it's occupants through
the slides, beginning with
bust of George Washington,
and the first Presidents New
York residence on down to
the present.
Most of the pieces shown
have been pictured previously
in magazines and newspapers
upon their acquisition.
In color and screen size
they were beautiful and au-
dible sighs greeted the show
ing Of the completed Diplo-
matte Reception Room on
the ground floor with close
ups of the newly installed
Zuber wallpaper scenics.
There we're slides Of paint
ings, including one of Com
modore John Barry" Father

Gilbert Stuart, and the fa-
nous full-length painting of
George Washington that was
saved through the courage
of Dolley Madison when the
historic house burned in 1914.

White House storage room,
was shown along with a large
old chest that was cleaned
to reveal a brass plate bear

Two recent arrivals shown
were a small serving table
attributed to John Shaw of
Annapolis and the other an
American classical style win

Mrs. Pearce, whose husband
John Pearce of the Smith
sonian Institution accompa-
MED her to the lecture, said
the Fine Arts Committees
plans for the second and
third floors of the White
House call for their enhance
ment in the style of later
rooms of the 10Th century.
In that respect, a paint
ing of Andrew Jackson was
moved into the Lincoln Room
because an early print show
ing Lincoln's Cabinet in ses-
sion revealed the Jackson
portrait in the background in
that room.
