Wrist Watch Sticks But Khaki Disappears
He isn't a namby-pamby, sissified,
mollycooked fellow just because
there's a wrist watch nestling under
his coat sweat. That delicate bit of
feminism that has been deplored so
lustily by the brave who styles himself
a "man's man" is no longer a
mark of a girlish disposition.
When it is considered that the wearer of the ornament only a few weeks ago might have held down a dignified second lieutenancy—anything but a feminine job—who could accuse the wearer of being sissical with no regard to the awe that should be inspired?
There's hardly a man who wears a wrist watch who does it because he believes it harmonizes with his eyes. They all do it through force of circumstances. In the army, they had to. It was the proper thing for an army man: watch chains were prohibited and likewise fobs; and it is impossible to take a watch out of one's pocket and steal a look at the time while standing, theoretically, at attention.
When the soldiers dotted the khaki and denned the cits, the wrist watch kept its old place. That's why so many full-grown men on the Hill consult their wrists instead of vest pockets when they come in late to class. And it's best not to Josh them and call them "dearies," for they might have been members of the hard-boiled S. A. T. C.
