The origin Of the roll is a mystery.
1t just grew. Since the adoption or
athletic summer apparel there has
been a need for a method Of securing
the hose. This necessity is directly
responsible for the innovation. A trip
around Chicago disclosed several va
~rieties. Those observed to date are:
The telescope roll" which has
found favor among the high school
boys. 1t Is about three-quarters of an
inch wide and about an eighth or an
inch thick, and Is surmounted by a
clasp pin that secures the fold. 1t
is nobby and neat, but it is a difficult
fold to make.
University students in their enthusi-
asm have gone the Hint. A quarter
hose reaching half an inch above the
shoes or oxfords and displaying school
colors by means of a narrow band
around the top is their bid for fame.
There is also the mechanics

A FREAK STYLE FOR MEN
Just Roll Your Hose to the Shoe Tops
and You're Right Up-to-the
Minute.

Chicago.-A new fashion for men
that has gained immediate recognition
in this city is the athletic roll"
on half hose. 1t is a distinctly west
ern mode and originally was used as
the means Of securing or supporting
the half hose of athletes.
Despite the fate that, heretofore, all
fashions for men were accepted only
afted the King of England had placed
his stamp of approval upon them, the
west, ignoring kings and princess, per.

of comfort. The new style is the re
suit. Simply roll your hose down
