THE LONG AND THE SHORT

Every year about this time New York's stylista get together and tell the men of the country what they will wear when Spring comes along. Green is to be the dominant shade for 1931 according to the dopesters who apparently feel they no longer need disguise their bait. Or, if one refuses to look for mercenary motives, the new fashion may be considered a gracious compliment to the sons, of Dartmouth who last Spring told the world about their shorts.

This second supposition loses weight when one reads that long trousers are about to appear on the golf course. It is not altogether pleasant to realize the effect which this news from the New York fashion-setters will have on the ancient and honorable game. Of course, long jeans will take the socks out of the sport and cover a multitude of shins as the pleasure-bent man tees off. But the hardest blow of all will be long pants going down the fairway.
