MINNEAPOLIS GENE RITCHIE Painting is SEW SIMPLE By EUNICE FARMER I have been besieged by requests to repeat this information. You can turn your old shoes into something new, special and different and at the same time give new zip and flavor to last summer's dresses. You can cover your shoes with a print or solid colored fabric to match or complement your ensembles. Any fabric can be used, including organza, silks, satins, cottons, brocades and velvet. Your choice is unlimited.

My teen-age girls love them too! See if you don't get rave reactions too! Your first attempt might be more successful if you use a lightweight fabric. If you haven't any old shoes, don't forget the possibility of rummage sales for an extra pair. Be sure to notice the size and shape of the heels, get the kind that are currently in style. 1. Cut the fabric on the bias.

First cut the section for the toe, beginning at each side seam on your shoes. Always allow a little extra on ALL edges. 2. Millinery-type glue is advisable because you can wipe off any excess without fear of the glue spotting the fabric. Spread lightly on the section you will be working on.

Place the fabric on this section, stretching as you work to avoid wrinkles. 3. With a nail file, carefully push the fabric into the seam at the edges of the soles. Don't trim the excess edges at this time. 4.

Be sure to let each section dry thoroughly before beginning another. After the front half is finished, fit another bias piece for the back half, turning over a very small fold to finish the raw edges where the seams join. 5. Before covering the heels, carefully pull up the leather that finishes the inside of the heels. After you have covered the heels (don't forget to tuck in the edge at the top of the heel) and the glue is dry, glue the piece of leather in place again.

This will cover the raw edges of your fabric. 6. After the shoe is thoroughly dry, carefully trim the excess fabric from around the edges of the sole with a sharp razor blade. 7. The last step is to turn under about one-half inch at the throat of the shoes and glue in place.

STAR May 11, 1964 MONAHAN AT INSTITUTE EXHIBITION of schoolchildren outside her door Artist Paints Faces as They Look to Her By BEVERLY KEES Minneapolis Star Portrait artist Gene Ritchie Monahan paints people as she sees them -with only an occasional complaint. "There are thousands of portrait painters in the country. If you want a painter who pretties you up, you go to him," she said. "The painter doesn't paint to suit the individual. The individual finds the painter he likes.

"I try to bring out the best in people. I see them that way. Each is an individual. Each one has battled his own battle and found his own way of facing life." Mrs. Monahan likes to "live with a painting" for at least two or three weeks after she's completed it.

She sometimes finds some retouching is necessary to make a truer portrait. "People may not be themselves when they're posing for me," she said. "They feel self-conscious. It may take a while for them to relax so I can see them as they are. But if we work long enough and they are relaxed enough, we get, I hope, an intimate portrait." The artist once did a portrait of Mrs.

O. Meredith Wilson, wife of the University of Minnesota president. "Her husband was not particularly happy with it," Mrs. Monahan said. "He thinks of her as a vivacious person, which she is." But while Mrs.

Wilson was posing, "she was lost in her own thoughts," and the portrait made her look reflective, the artist explained. "Her daughter came home and saw the painting and she "It's Fun to Stay At TheInn Towne Downtown MinneapolisAdjacent to the Orpheum Theatre Supper Club Piano Bar Heated Pool Sensible Rates Family Plan 10th Hawthorne Phone 335-5994 We Have Stored Fine Furs 82 years Without a Storage Loss For Fast, Bonded Pick- Up Service Call FEderal 3-6468 81 South Tenth Street Sexy Brigitte No Style Leader By EUGENIA SHEPPARD New York Herald Tribune Service NEW YORK, N.Y. Brigitte Bardot hasn't a prayer of going down in history as one of the INSIDE great fashion FASHION leaders. She's too sexy. These days it's not very chic to be sexy, as most of today's lovely girls who are famous sex symbols can tell you.

They try their best to follow Paris and the fashion magazines, and what do they get? Just the men. As far as other women are concerned, the poor things are handicapped those from feminine, the start rounded with figures. Actually, women have a logical way of figuring things out. A woman has a right to be chic, intellectual or sexymaybe two of these but, heavens to betsy, not all three. It wouldn't be fair.

If Brigitte Bardot is famous for her undressed look, it's only just to give her no credit at all for the way she looks dressed, or the clothes she wears. Nobody who has ever seen a Bardot movie can possibly When you are serving cot- words that people for tage cheese with a fruit salad fashion are a always lunch, it's an interesting and redefining and texture change to add, some outside of fashion are chopped pecans the timid about using at cheese. deny that Brigitte's look has had a far-reaching effect on the way every other female in the world from pre-teen age on up looks today. Who but Brigitte started all the business of long hair, pale lipstick and made-up eyes? When you get down to clothes, who but Brigitte invented the baby doll dress and the baby doll ruffles? Gloria Guinness gives Brigitte full credit as a fashion leader in her most recent article, "Chic Is," in May Harper's Bazaar. According to Gloria, Brigitte's chic is "the mad, gay and easy chic of the young." She has made other women throw away their "dark blood" lipsticks and copy her "long, high and fussy Chic is one of those elusive defining people slightly all.
