MIDAS Midas introduce a new idea in high fashion retailing. The concept follows European trends where exclusive lines of fashion shoes for men and for women are available in a salon-like setting. The Midas salon with the velvet covered walls and glittering chandeliers sets a new standard in retail decor and design. The promise of elegant treasure that the word 'Midas' suggests is found in the range of shoes available. This includes exclusive imported styles from France, England, Italy, Brazil and Australia, as ' .well as the best of New Zealand designs and « manufacture. Luxury and comfort go together at Midas - where the customer is pampered. But - above all Midas is concerned with fashion. ’ This year, after years of natural, beige, and tan 'dominance, fashionable women have earned a break. Clothes for spring/summer are coming in a range of colours - including strong fuschina, cerise, red, and clear blue - and there is an equally important place in fashion for colourful shoes. The casual look is the style of the day. There are many variations — sneakers. Jazz oxfords, flat pumps, rope espadrilles - and al! are proving to be a popular and favourite young footnote. Different and various angles highlight a design treatment where the look in footwear is geometric. What about heels? The big news is that 3" heel is a high heel, and there is also a strong new group of "in-between" heels, ranging from 1 Vz" •2 1 A” heels. Spring/summer 1980 sees the classic: design of the 'Pump' return; ths new lower in-between heel; the return of the slingback, and halter back. All these styles makea major fashion statement Shoes illustrated are: 1. Nymph by Marler $52.80 2. Joanne by Marler $59.20 3. Peter by Billie $47.45 4.

Mansons Pharmacy The perfect complexion. Doesjt exist? Maybe not, but the ideal skin does. That is a skin that is kept clean and healthy with a regular system of care. To achieve this we need a balanced programme of skin care. Which is why MANSONS PHARMACY are excited about the MARY QUANT SKIN PROGRAME This is a programme that is almost impossible not to follow. The products contain Collagen which is an almost magic ingredient, it cuts down the amount of moisture that may evaporate (naturally) through the skin by upto 80%. This is important, because it is the moisture lying under the skin that keeps it soft and supple—and of course less likely to wrinkle! It is not the Fountain of Youth however. And Mary Quant is not promising miracles. But if you use JVlary Quant Skin programme every day (remember, it is almost impossible not to), the promise of a softer more supple skin will come true. And then, you will look younger than you would without it. The usual skin types — dry normal, oily, are programmed for of course, but there is also real strength in the fact that with this system, care for any combination of skin '■type is now possible. A bonus too for early buyers of MARY QUANT SKIN PROGRAME - her new Super Natural Foundation (worth $7.95) is added as a gift. MANSONS.PHARMACY are just North of the Square — in the right place for to-ing and fro-ing office workers, shoppers, everyone, who demands an ideal skin. MANSONS PHARMACY, ‘733 Colombo St. Ph .68-962
