Go vest, young man.
Invest in a vest is the best pos
sible advice that one can give to
smart young men who like to be
“in the know” fashionwise. Speak
ing in the know, I might say that
I discovered the popularity of the
vest* quiet by accident.
A young co-ed called me fran
tically some few days before
Christmas. Seems she had started
making her boy friend a present
for the season, and had become
aprehensive lest her sewing have
that “home made” look, so she
called me to come to the rescue.
I asked her what she was mak
ing and learned that she wasi
making a vest. I was a bit taken ■
aback, for I had remembered the
vest as the third piece in a man’s
suit—matching, of course. When
she told me thi thing was white
velvet, well, I decided that I had
better do a little research.
Being a woman, it is only na
tural that the interest would con
centrate on women’s fashions for
the most part, but I did not realife
how dated my data on men’s
clothes really is. When I did a bit
of shopping around, I found that
not only are there vests on the
market, but the colors are so
bright and gay they would make
Joseph’s coat look like a mourn
ing robe.
And what is more, the boys are
wearing the things. Even more
surprising — they look quite nice
when seen just as a tiny bit of
color peeking from underneath a
coat front.
There were some bright little
Scotch plaid numbers, as well as'
the bold solid colors. There was
even a bright red silk antique
satin one. I suppose that Man is
finally beginning to rebel against
the fact that he is the only male
in the animal kingdom that is less
fancily dressed than the female.
Fortunately, he has the good
sense to take the fancy dress and
bold colors in small doses and one
item at the time. First there were
the gay sports shirts, and just
about the time we got used to the
idea of having competition for the
color of blouses — the color,
promptly took a nose dive and,
oame out in the form of bright
Argyle socks, or some reasonable
or unreasonable facsimile thereof.
Now it is the vest that is the
focal point.
So if you are young and have
a flair for the dramatic, our ad
vice is “Go vest, young man.”

Christmas Day.
Alvin Childress came into his
owiv on the “Amos and Andy”
show reciting and commenting on
the “Lord’s Praydr” for his eldest
daughter. This was the highlight
of the show—and could well have
been presented on any other pro
gram. But the recitation in the
simple language, explaining each
passage of the prayer repeated
more than any other since its
original presentation, was cer
tainly a fitting tribute to “The
Day.” Childress and the “Amos
and Andy” cast acquitted therri
selves well in this instance.

That’s likely when you’re making

So please space out your calls.
