and glove leather casuals and In polished and patent leather dress shoes. The trend to lightness has increased the popularity of brushed leather flats, ties and boot shoes. Brushed leather is a sueded finish on split leather, which has been thinned down for extra lightness, with no loss in durability. Split leather is strong enough to be used a sa sole in some casual or play shoes for youngsters. In both casual and school shoes, the classic moccasin is enjoying renewed popularity. Although available in dozens of style variations, the moccasin most often selected by youngsters is the classic with simple handstitching and a strap design across the vamp. For dress or party, the low-cut shell pump in a handsome leather finish makes every social occasion a full-dress affair. There are laced pumps in rounded or square toes, slip-on pumps in multi-colored leathers, and strap shoes with a real open feeling. Pastels — yellows, blues and pinks—are interpreted in soft, smooth leathers. Flashing patent and glaz.ed kid leathers also star on the birthday circuit. Scalloped edges and perforations add a lithe look. Farbrics Are News In Boys' Fashions Styled for Spring Fabrics tell the fashion story for boys’ wear this spring. From the very young man in his Eton suit to the older boy in sports jacket and slacks or suit, the news is not in styles, which continue on the “borrowed from Dad” theme, but in the novelty of fabrics and fabric combinations. Denim is top favorite, i nfaded solids and teamed with white. Faded blue or brown and white stripes show up not only in Eton suits and sports jackets but also in casual coats, with matching caps. For an especially dashing look, calico prints are paired with denims. Bleeding madras and batik make smart young suits, while cord, ticking and seersucker are seen in suits, sportswear. In a more traditional mood are classic flannels, in jacket and shorts suits for younger boys, and mid-weight wools and blends in dress-up fashions for the grow-ing-up set. The red-white-and-blue nautical look is strong again, especially in boys’ sportswear.
