saluted the Short Skirt.

The rainy day skirt has been accorded
a lordly salute, and by one Of BostOn's
most dignified and best known citizens,
says the Boston Herald
Not long ago. when the rain had been
falling for over "a hours and the street
and crosswalks were III such shape as
to we'll nigh ruin an ordinary dress
skirt unless the wearer held it up near
ly to the knees, one of Boston S well
known women, dressed in neat and
Well fitting rainy day costume, was re-
turning from the Old Colony station,
after bidding goodby to friend. While
walking erectly and freely across the
Lincoln street crossing, where scores Of
other women were holding up one side
of their skirts while the other dragged
in the mud, she was suddenly confront
ed by middle aged, courtly gentleman
who was an entire stranger to her, and,
lifting his hat, he addressed her thus:
Il beg your pardon, madam, but a
woman who has the good sense and
courage to wear SO comfortable and ap-
propriate a costume On the streets de.
serves the most respectful salute. l take
off my hat to your short skirt
81 thank you, sir, - was the pleasant
reply, "but if all women knew the COM
fort and cleanliness Of such garment I
am sure they would wear no other Oh
such day as this -
After this short dialogue the two per-
sons passed on, the woman more than
ever convinced that the future of the
short skirt was fully assured and the
man made glad with the thought that
the age of reason among women was
making satisfactory strides. I
