-, RAINY DAISIES!
The Rainy Day Club has not a mi
form because each member has her own
particular ideas as to how a rainv-dav
dress should be made.
a., II IS generally like an ordinary bicy-
Gle dress. The skirt is to the ankles
sometimes an entire suit consisting of a
cape and skirt, is made of dark blue rub
per cloth, though more often rain-proof
sergeS and cravenette are empIoved
I A very servieeable rainy-day costume
was worn by dainty little brunette yes
terday on Twenty-third street A dark
n nlue raIa-proof serge, heavy and rough,
was cut not unlike a Russian blouse, fit
| ting the figure loosely, and belted with a
stltehed band of the serge.
The skirt was quite Scant and of ankle
| length, Just above the hem were rows of
! tiny tucks, and flaps on each side of the
front width buttoned over spacious peck
The hat worn was a small black der
| by, and the warm gray castor gloves were
seen.
+. Many women prefer the dresses made
with straps and buttons, but unless a
woman is very slender they are inclined
to look clumsy, but they have the adj.
vantage of being easily adjusted. A skirt
| of the usual length is made with seven
! stitched straps of the same material de-
pending from the belt three buttonhoIes
i are made in each strap and three but
/ tons sewed on the skirt, so when a rainy
! day comes the straps are buttoned down
/ over the buttons and the -fuIlness caught
| up around the hips If the day CHANCES
| to good weather then one is not made ia
| feel ridiculous in a macintosh or even
| a short skirt.
| By the judicous use of tiny bra ss
rings and tape another woman has in
| vented another skirt which can be easily
| lifted above the ground. Another idea is
to have short skirt made of rubber
dress skirt is carefully pinned up and the
macintosh skirt buttoned over A word
about the shoes. So many women com.
/ plain that the heat in cars and stores
make rubber shoes draw so much that
| they are exceedingly uncomfortable 81
! the very stoutest tan leather shoes are
| being adopted; the extension soles are
quite as thick an ordinary mans shoe
with broad round toes and low heels
There is no doubt that they are wa
terproof. They are considered very smart
