It's that time again when (I won't mention the word) flock to P.S.U. for the local doings. C'est la Vie. However there is some thing you lucky girls with dates can do, and that's look your best. You see, imports ao not have the advantage of Simon's wonderful selec tion of dress shoes. Not only can these shoes be worn to the dance, but also later on in the summer. This is economical and daddy will like you. There are the lustre calf in blue, lavender, pink, and yellow. Also beautiful black Tal silk which is the latest, not to forget are the white (Barrathea white) silk shoes. Of course, there are hand bags to match. These are perfect for summer wear. Lastly Simon's has the standard white linen which can be dyed any color—to match any gown. Foot wise you can't beat Simon's selection for dance and summer shoes!
