Dear Sally i BY SALLY SHAW DEAR SALLY: I’m a widow of 34, with an 8-year-old daughter, and am engaged to marry a very fine, well-thought-of-widower of 40 in the near future. Now, how ever, I am faced with a little problem. He has suggested that I and my daughter accompany him on a three-day convention trip to Florida where we can com bine business with pleasure. Do you think that the fact that we re both of mature age and both have been previously married would make such a trip fitting and pro per? DECATUR. DEAR DECATUR: It’s never fitting and proper for unmarried men and women to take trips to gether unchaperoned, and cer tainly in your case an 8-year- old girl isn't a qualified chaper one. Tell your fiance no for this time, but that you'll go anywhere in the world with him AFTER you’re married. DEAR SALLY: My father gives me fits! I'm a girl of 16 and whenever I have friends in our home, Dad embarrasses me to tears. He jokes, kids, and cuts up with my teen-aged friends like he was a teen-ager himself. When I spoke to both my parents about this, they couldn't seem to un- erstand my objections and told me that at least my friends know my father isn’t an old fuddy- duddy. What have you to say about this? HUMILIATED. DEAR SALLY: Fmayoungman of 21. Recently I paid a dollar each for two raffle tickets, and gave one of them to my girl friend. Her ticket proved to be the winner of $1,000, which nat urally propelled her to Cloud 9. The thing that bugs me, though, is that she hasn't even men tioned cutting me in on any of her winnings. After all, if I hadn't given her the ticket, she wouldn’t have won all this loot. It would have come to me. Don't you think I should take this up with her? OUT OF THE MONEY. DEAR'OUT OF THE MONEY: You can mention this to her, of course, but since the suggestion hasn't already come from her, 1 doubt that you'll be successful. And after all, you did GIVE her the ticket as a GIFT. Best in the future, should you be handing away any raffle tickets to any girl friends, to have a profit- sharing agreement beforehand. DEAR SALLY: My sister, a well-to-do widow, confided tome a few days ago that she had made out a new will in which she has provided generously for the two sons of her late husband's bro ther who has had to struggle all his life to make ends meet, and also that she had left the balance of her estate to her church. This has really hurt me . . .the fact that she failed to include our two children in her will. I think certainly she could have left them something. Should I mention this to her? OVERLOOKED. DEAR HUMILIATED: I think that, instead of feeling so em- DEAR OVERLOOKED: No. barrassed, you should be happy Your sister's money is hers to to have a father who shows such do with as she wishes now, and a lively interest in your activi- it's hers to dispose of as she ties and friends. Much, MUCH wishes for after she's gone. She better to have a parent with high owes you neither explanation nor spirits than an old sour puss! apology. r i Who pays the mortyayc when you're flat on your hack?

Be Careful Of Fit In Buying Shoes BY HELEN C. CAMP Extension Home Economist You’ve been cheating your wardrobe and your pocketbook if you’ve just been spending a miserly ten minutes buying your shoes. You’ve proably l>een hurt ing your feet, too. The age-old story of sacrific ing your comfort to fit into the newest shoe styles is no longer valid. Today, more than ever be fore, shoe shapes are more com fortable, heels are lower, and there is such a variety of sizes, materials, and styles available to you that knowing how to buy shoes for yourself is all you need to know to solve your shoe prob lems. To get you off on the right foot, let s see what goes into buy ing shoes. Size Up the Situation: Know your shoe size! If you cram your feet into a pair of shoes just because they look good, you're going to step out of them with sore, aching feet. A painful ex perience! Your shoe size is measured in numbers (for length) and in letters (for width). Although there is only one sixth of an inch dif ference between each numbered size, a size will make a world of difference in comfort. So, the thing to do is to have your feet measured whenever you shop for shoes. Never buy shoes after a long day of shopping nr just walk ing around. Your feet are proably swollen and you're going to take home shoes that just don't fit! If, after you've been measured, you discover that one foot is larger than the other, don't panic. This is not unusual and the dif ference is rarely more than half a size. If the difference is more, buy the correct size for the lar ger foot and have the other shoe padded to fit. Last But Not Least: The basic shape of a pair of shoes is de termined by the “last", which is die wooden form used to make the manufacturer’s original sample. Different manufactures use dif ferent lasts. F ind a last that is particularly comfortable for your foot shape. Keep in mind, though, that lasts change with changing shoe fashions. Four Guides For Fit: To check for the proper fit, remember that your foot has four dimensions: length, width, depth, and shape. Length: There should be a space of at least a half inch be tween the end of your longest toe and the front of the shoe. If your old shoes show wear at the front tips, or the inside sole has a worn “pocket" for your toes, you need a longer shoe. Width: The widest part of the shoe should lie over the first joint of your big toe. Here's how to check. Run your fingers over the vamp (the part that covers the front portion of your foot). The leather should not be stretched so tightly that it pin ches your toes together or so loose that the vamp wrinkles easily. If the uppers (the parts above the sole) of your old shoes extend over the soles, you’re ready for the next width. Depth: To check for the pro per depth in a last, wiggle your toes. They should all be able to move freely. If there are bumps that outline your toes on the up pers of your old shoes, you need a deeper last. Shape: To check for the shape of the shoe, try your new shoes on while you’re standing up. Your foot should rest on the bottom of the shoe with your weight dis tributed between ball and heel. If your old shoes are puckered or wrinkled behind the ball of the foot along the arch, or they are greatly out of shape, then the shape of the last is wrong and your shoes aren't long enough from ball to heel. Your shoes should be right for you and you alone. They can only be right if you shop with pro portion in mind - your size, your shape, and their relation to the shoes you buy.
