In cafes young girls with pony-tail hairdos, black cotton stockings, flat-
heeled shoes, and the rest of the ballet-style getup are not uncommon. Usually
their escorts are young men with fringe beards and tan slacks whose proto-
types are to be found on a hundred American campuses.
Party authorities hate the beards as much as they do the cha-cha-cha. But
Premier Fidel Castro wears a beard so the fad is not attacked outright. However,
lectures on the virtue of shaving every day are frequent.
1 he present-day young man dresses with quiet conservatism. He has a
Princeton or \ale haircut instead of the floppy Tarzan trim of a few years
ago. His suit is usually dark blue or Oxford gray. He wears a white shirt and
narrow Italian-type tie with neat horizontal stripes or, sometimes, a dark solid-
color shirt with a contrasting tie of solid yellow or powder blue. His trousers
are no longer bell-bottomed. They are pencil slim.
Occasionally, the young man may sport a porkpie flat-top hat with slightly
flaring brim and blue jeans, which are called either "kowbois" or "Texas
trousers."
