HENRY WALLACE WEAR For seven years, Henry Wallace with his tongue in his cheek, has studied the manners of polite so- clety in the Nation's capital, He has acquired an extensive wardrobe which includes the proper costume for every occasion—from a tennis match to a state funeral. But there is one item of gentle- man's apparel which still has Henry puzzled. It is that waistband of Persian origin known as the cum- merbund. Henry encountered a cummer- bund wearer at a party given by Sumner Welles. He blinked twice and said: “In hot weather like this, I can't see the point of wearing a thing like that around your mid- dle. But I must admit it looks like a Venetian gondolier.” NOTE—The word cummerbund de- rives from the Persian words ka- mar (loins) and band (fastening).
