AVE you rallen in love with the new golf vests? If you have not, then one or the other of two things is certain— either that you do not play golf to any extent or that you are not a co-ed and never trip gayly 0\'er~th_e campus. For they're all the rage just at present, and a fit and fine rage they are, too. The girls who got up early enough te defy the winds that sweep over the Pre- sidio links found coats awfully in the way. The sleevés bound and the action of the arm was not as free as it ought to be to give a smashing blow. The next thing they ‘tried was a sweater, Just an ordinary sweater, but it §s such a homely affair that only the bravest really felt at all at home in them, And then again, there was the question of sleeves. The manufacturers felt that something new was needed, but they cowmdn’t tell ex- actly what. At last one clever fellow hit upon the idea of making a jersey that would be swagger looxking and still be warm and comtortable. I'hat man knew what he was about. ‘With his eye for business, he must have had one for golf., When Maud came from the East she had one packed away snugly i1n her trunk. ‘What a surprise she wouid spring on the girls, but she wouldn't untit there were a lot of them on the clubhouse steps. It was a soft jersey, with raisea ribs. The back fitted snugly and was made to exactly fit. the space between the top of the belt and edge of the collar. By way of contrast the front was striped witn white, There was thexed and the white stripe alternating. The vest, by the way, was red, as most of them are. The collarless effect is still fashionable, and this particular one was like a man's vest—V-shaped and double-breasted. The butions were put on wide at the bottom and narrowed, toward the waist. The last two were on the tihy dip that all the “kangaroo'’ girls insist on having. To say that she made a sensation would be putting it mildly, She was the envy of all the girls on the links, and half the men were wondering how they could get sweaters that would look half as swell as the dinky little vest did. - And that was the beginning of the goif vest in S8an Francisco, May told Alice and Bob told his sister, and that was the way it went, And then the White House did the rest, The girls tramp™from hole to hole sublimely con- scious that they look well, that the snug- fitting jersey shows their figures to the very best possible advantage. Palo Alto ig not so far away but that its girls see and know all that is going on, The gaudy red vests suited them exactly. ‘What could be better for them to wear on the quad? Nothing, They were perfec- tion, S0 the two classes of girls are rivals. The only difference is that Stanford goes fn for the red and the golfers are mot articular, Anything swell or smart look- ng pleases them just as well, A dapper one is of a closely woven jer- sey; not striped, but more on the dia- mond shape, White stars here and there suggest a stripe. There i8 a collar on this one, but it is of.a broad red and white laid and the edge is bound in red silk. e material is very much like the rez- ular golfing, double faced. On the left side there is a tiny pocket just large enough for a watch or for car fare. It bardly looks like one, it is so small, but it answers the puipose jusi the same. How the jersey can be made into so many different designs is a mystery o most people. 'There are about a baker's dozen, and every one of them is de- eidedly different. One might think that 4 “3TS TROMA. &/ “wrsx'rfi KOUSE— - OT(]\" -P)Y T‘ B ]\)I.KC)KY I SHONINTRY THE. o 'Ldfl-”_EGEC'S ,"//’/4;\3\\ V. J/J/ 27 ONER, r‘/ ) TH
