THERE'S A MAN IN OUR TOWN

Who is a Country club member and
has rugged himself out in a golf suit
that would turn j. D. Rockefeller
green with envy. The knickerbockers
belonging to the outfit are cunningly
fastened at the knee with buttons that
blend so artistica1ly with the tan color
of the costume it makes you think
that the golfist stepped out of the big
Mother Goose book that was opened up
down at Bethany college the other
night, as "Georgie Porgie." Oh. no.
the man doesn't play golf. so far as
know. but of course a golf suit is not
intended to be rumpled up in game.
It's real purpose is to lend pictur-
esoue atmosphere to a lounger in the
cool shade of the Country club porch.
