PARIS (P)—Short pants for men have had a bad year. Their exponents have failed miserably and they are being duly guyed by flippant humorists. The leaders of the movement appeared in high society, among friends, a few times, but short pants seldom got farther than posed pictures by men mannequins at the races. Lamenting this lack of men's courage in dress, a number of fashion critics assert short pants really can come into fashion if some leaders will only show courage enough to stand ridicule and the gaze of the curious until the rank and file of the well-dressed screw up their courage to follow them. However, the critics admit they don't want the job.
