In a local restaurant, there is an old advertisement poster for men's boxer 
shorts, and in quotes the word 'coolness.'  My oldest teenage daughter saw that 
and wondered about the 'modern' advertisement.  Fortunately, there was a 
copyright date on the poster.  The date?

1915.

What's old is new again.

It's quite possible that a little over twenty years after that ad was published 
the shorter 'cool' was still in use, around the time a 73 year-old would have 
been born.
