(IP) angle on the circus The pinch of the annual shoe ration can be relieved by several repair and re-styling tricks, to extend usefulness of footwear you, already have.

Above is shown how unralioncd backless mules can be converted into evening- slippers, with'the simple addition of an ankle strap, to save you a. precious ration stamp. "aprons" or tippings on toes; as fovings on split or worn heels. If straps are worn out, having new ones put on is only a minor operation.

Dark shoes can be dyed light. Yes, even black shoes red, and vice versa. Gold and silver kids can be dyed dark for practical wear, or restored to their former glory by re-gilding or re-silvering.

Expert dyers strip dyed leathers of original color. Work base colors in, by hand. Apply color in more than one coat. To keep dyed shoes from shrinking, they are worked on a last. Golf shoes? If yours are only a wistful reminder of other days, you can convert these all-but- useless relics of the past into serviceable walking shoes.

Removable spikes can be taken out of th'eir sockets and holes can be plugged in with plastic wood. Permanent spikes can be ground down to shoe-sole level.
