CUBA REFUSES
PAJAMA CULT
Clings To Customary White
Drill Suit I'm Hot
Weather

HAVANA. Sept. 22.-CR1-WhIIe
certain sections Of the United
States are casting about for cos
TUNES providing more comfort dur
ing the summer months and engag-
ing in a general contest for first
place in pajama street parades. the
Cuban clings to his customary
white drill suit. always worn with
waistcoat and coat.
There Is no such procedure In
Havana as going coatless on the
main streets. When such a sight
Is encountered it is usually Of j
tourist whose peregrinations have
caused him to seek relief from ell
excess clothing. This. to the Cuban
constitutes the ultimate breach I'm
good manners.
No matter how hot the day. the
Cuban Is fully attired but, strange
to say. never evidences any effect
from the heat. He Is always calm
and cool looking. Nor does he doff
his coat at the office.
Tourists wonder and seek some
excuse In the belief that white
drills are cool-which Is not q fact.
They only look cool. The drill IL
not only closely woven. but II stiff
with starch and there are no air
vents In the fabric.
The drill suits are survivals Of
old customs TO which the Cuban
clings tenaciously. 1t rs said that
If Cuba stopped wearing drill. the
majority OF textile mills in Ireland
would go out Of business.
