O~TAMO T1ffl~OAY, AU~7O5T 3?, i~ e Curre ~ and i Confide By Elsie Crr THE SHAPE OF SHANKS It is reported that one day during the July heat wave, a bravo maie was seen on a busy corner in Toronto. brief case under his arm and dressed in shorts, knee socks and a suit coat. A reporter in Washington turned up in similar regalia at a Presidential press conference. Il the President noticed, he mnade no comment. We think the arnazing part of both these news Items is, flot that tho mon wore shorts, but that they wore suit coats! Though considered eccentric, apparently it is acceptable for a mnan ta wave his knees in the summer breeze but flot to appear in shirt sleeves in certain places. That is whero the arnali town cornes into its own once more. Sport shirts, or at least shirt sleeves are the ostablished cus- tom in summer for work and al- znost ail functions except wed- dings and funerals. We haven't seen any of the maie sex in shorts yet, but why not? It is anly during the last cen- tury and a hall that men have had the privilege or punishment of covering their shanks. The shape of said shanks was of great importance in the days of good Queen Bess, Queon Anne, and even up to the end of the l9th century. A suitor with legs to stout or tao thin, exposed as they were i long hose, stood littie chance ta win the lady of bis choice. Men have the fabulaus Beau ]Brummel ta blame or thank for short hair, long trousers and dark colored clothos. Gone are the silks, satins, velvets and blazing weskits of olden tîmes. And a suitor with his legs hidden benoath long trousers might have thin, fat or bowed shanks and still cut a fine figure. In the roaring 201s of the 2th century, the mon at last had the laugh on the women. To be fashion- able women had ta wear skirts which barely covered the knees, some were even above, and be- hold exposed ail mannor of legs, as welI as a few perfect pairs.
