Pert and brunette, Mary sends a grin across her face in waves, and her 120 Ibs. are settled into a luscious 36-24-36 configuration that has male viewers sitting upright in their reclining chairs. Yet hardly a real-life wife objects. Instead, they take notes. And when she began delighting TV Hubby Dick Van Dyke by wearing Capri slacks, it helped make Capri slacks the biggest trend in U.S. casual attire...
...makes it unhealthy, if no less popular, to commit such "crimes against honor" as rubbing the nose (questioning ancestry), tugging at the ear (questioning male virility) or fondling the back of the ear (alluding to pederasty). It is even illegal to stare suggestively at a pretty girl, though every self-respecting Italian male does it. On the other hand, there is one splendid defense: not intentionally getting caught in the act. A silent insult made behind a victim's back may be ruled unintentional, even if it is seen reflected in a mirror or a window...
Charlie's chief tormentor, Lucy van Pelt, is a tiny, black-haired termagant, a caricature of the modern aggressive female.

Last week, at the National Shoe Fair in Manhattan, they showed off 300,000 kinds of footwear designed to give a lift to their old and slow business...
Buckles and Bows. The shoemakers have focused on the male desire to look young and rugged. In men's shoes, the pinched, pointed-toe "Italian look" is out; it has been replaced by broader toes, bolder stitching, longer wing tips and plentiful perforations. Shoemakers have succeeded so well in selling men on the casual look that sales of sneakers, sandals and moccasins are expected to equal those of regular shoes this year. The industry has also brought out dozens of suède-and cloth-topped models with such names as Floaters, Renegades, Tweedies, and Lazy Bones...
