~ , , PAGE 23-SUPPLEMENT TO PLAINDEALER.-FR., A PRE. 5, 1974 Kids V sneakers prove a fitting team for play and normal foot development Taking youngsters for Spring shoes can be a trying experience for any mother. Even the tiniest tots have definite ideas about what kinds of shoes they want -- and the Kie- nast quintuplets are no exception. They want to wear sneakers like the big kids. But Mrs. Kienast is more concerned about fitting her children with footwear that will allow for the proper development of their feet. Recently, she was pleased to learn that ac­ cording to a survey done by the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio,* three-quarters of those pediatricians re­ sponding said yes, when asked, "Do you think rub­ ber sole sneakers (tennis shoes) are adequate for infants with normal feet?" Having grown up with the notion that sneakers are harmful to the devel­ opment of young feet, Mrs. Kienast was reassured by the responses. She knows that sneakers can take the kicking, jumping and running around that active young­ sters give them. And, sneakers can be salvaged in the washing machine after-a mischievous romp in the mud. Cost was another impor­ tant factor. At age 3, Sara, Halston says it all in his collection Halston has done it again with a beautiful and imaginative Spring collec­ tion. Denim rainwear is first on the list. The jean fabric is of a rich looking tex­ ture. Among the creations: a long, swingy raincape, button front rainskirt, a button front mid-calf length rain jumper, shirt- dress, short sleeve jump­ suit and truck pocketed rainskirt. I A celery wrap coat with stand up collar, a lilac button wrap coat with collar, a blue V-front wrap jacket with patch pockets, and a mint green shirred back loose cardigan-type jacket. All give - a good cross section of his suede outerwear grouping in Spring colors. Suede works well in other components: a peach-colored shirtdress, aquamarine tie belted skirt, and pale pink belted tank. Coats, dresses, skirts and costumes are more pre­ dominant than pants. A doublefaced, white wool coat, a shell dress in beige challis and matching small jacket are examples of the indispensible Spring looks, along with navy linen, peplum skirted jacket suit and white-on-brown, pol­ ka-dotted, georgette two- piece dress. Night time is right for his apricot, silk crepe gown with monk-like robe sleeves, or his pale, shim- mery sequin models in rose, mint, and yellow. Lingerie-type slip tops, U- * necks, and one-shouldered styling are additional strong detkils. Halston'? sheer pale yel­ low crystal pleated gown falls like sunrays from the shoulder. Hand-painted chiffons in the softest wa- tercolors shimmer on soft evening wear. Abigail, Ted, Amy and Gordon outgrow shoes ev­ ery few months. Buying sneakers such as Keds for about $9 compared to leather shoes at close to $16 represents an impres­ sive savings. Like most three year olds, the Kienast young­ sters don't get their way all the time. But, the most recent shoe shopping ex­ pedition turned out to be a happv occasion for ev­ eryone. The group was outfitted with sneakers in a snap­ py selection of colors and styles. - ^Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio, and the Wil­ liam Beaumont General Hos­ pital, U.S. Army El Paso, Texas. SILHOUETTE STYLE Visual tricks are fair play if you're concerned about your figure, which can look wider with hori­ zontal seams or stripes. Vertical line dresses make it look taller and narrower. THE KIENAST QUINTUPLETS (I. to r. -- Amy, Sara, Ted, Abigail and Gordon) are like most youngsters their age. They want to wear sneakers like the big kids. Here they ure outfitted in Keds.
