for conveyance to European markets
The Royal Mail liners will not only carry
cargoes of Eastern and Western apples to
England and the Continent from New York,
but the company's new service to Europe
from Vancouver and Seattle, via the Pana-
ma Canal, will transport this season the
biggest apple shipments ever sent from
the Pacific coast No fewer than 100000
boxes of apples from Washington, Oregon
and Idaho have been booked for shipment
to England alone
A large proportion Of the apples supplied
to the English market come from the Cana
dian fruit districts of Ontario, Nova Scotia,
New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island,
where the harvest Of Baldwins, Kings, New
town Pippins, Spies McIntoshes and Russets
this season Is unusually heavy. With the
exception Of Maine, however, where there
has been phenomenally large yield, the
New England apple crop has been light.
The Western apples, such as Winesap
Oregon Pippin, Spitzenberg and Delicious,
figure conspicuously in British fruit shops,
the Winesap like the Newtown Pippin, hav-
ing won the approval Of royalty, When
King George, as Prince of Wales, visited
Canada about twenty years ago he was so
much impressed by this apple that he or

much in vogue among fashionable English
folk. The Newtown Pippin received its for

land in 1851. when Charles Francis Adams,

of st. James's presented Queen Victoria with

It is an interesting fact that since 1861,
when tho Royal Mail liner Dee carried Mr.
Adams's celebrated barrel Of Newtown Pip

steadily grown in favor with the British pub
lc Sixty years ago American apples were
almost unknown in England; to-day they are
sold in all the English fruit stores. Com
pared with any Of the leading American
varieties even the choicest Devonshire APP
pies seem puny and fiavorless.
The extent to which the export apple trade
has increased can be gathered from the
fact that this season the Royal Mail and
other steamship lines will carry 100000 bar
rels Of Eastern apples across the Atlantic
to supply the English and Continental mar
kets, each barrel containing 100 pounds Of
fruit. In addition, three million boxes of

pounds to the box-will be shipped over

Sewing. The fabric is now taken and

for one-half Of the human race.
1t was three or four years later mat the
straight front corset made its debut ana
waists began to be let out to something ike
their normal circumference, while dla-
phragms and abdomens came IN tor their
share of freedom. The hour glass effect
disappeared with the long skirt, and then
women started all sorts Of freedom and COM
fort innovations until they have developed
a type Of dress that is more comfortable and
free than mems ordinary clothes Mems
tweeds and soft shirts and collars are almost
identical with the costume that tina modern
woman wears for outdoor activities.
1t was an easy and a logical step from the
straight front stay, which replaced the old
whaleboned armor, to something even more
pliable and unconfining.' By rapid stages
there was developed the athletic corset, then
came the brassiere, and later women of
slender figure abandoned either or both OF
these very trivial garments and enjoyed an
uncorseted existence.
The modern corset is so carefully designed
and so unobjectionabe as a garment that

discard 1t. The corset for ordinary wear is
built on lines that in no way menace health,

And the expressions that these ma:rons OF
the unemancipated group wore on their
faces would have discouraged frightened
and slain the short skirt wearer' if the
thoughts behind the expressions could have
been realized.
When this first organized group of women
decided it was high time to lift the hem Of
dresses to a decent and sanitary height
above the pavements and to put stop %

ments to hearth rugs all they asked for was
a modest four inches to escape, though they
voted in favor of a skirt six inches from
the floor for those who liked them so aston
ishingly short. But the club members them
selves were satisfied to accept freedom
of less.
And to let the public know that they were
in dead earnest, that they stood for prin-
ciple, for an advance for women, for greater
health and comfort for their own and future
generations, and not for mere fashion,
they adopted uniform and topped it with
blue badge which they wore on one
shoulder.

of the original Rainy Day" band, but they
met with no success. They would lengthen
skirts by an inch or two one season and the
public would rebel. They'd try it another
season. and the same thing happened. Dress
makers might determine the width Of a skirt,
but they could never dictate as to its length
il they set the fashion for anything beyond
a certain height from the ground.
If In those twenty-five years since the
first sanitary skirt made its appearance
dressmakers have been unable to put women
into long skirts what chance of doing 1t
have they now, even though Paris favors
the ankle length and is predicting that no
matter how much of a hue and cry American
women raise against this hampering fashion
they will come to it in the end? The Rainy
Daisies" calmly point to the history of their
own movement and feel perfectly satisfied
that the anti-movement will die a natural
death.
A skirt that just covers the knees was the
last thing in the world that this club had in
mind when it marched forth as a group Of
protesting women, women bent on aholshng
wet, bedraggled clothes, soppy shoes and
ankles and dripping petticoats. Never did
they expect to see their modest protest so
frghtfully exaggerated They frankly
acknowledge that the skirt movement has
gotten away from them, but they point
hopefully to signs that the worst is past
and that modesty will again characterize
the lower portion of feminine dress Com
fort and wholesomeness was what they
worked for, and they feel that both are still
possible without sacrificing modesty

not the only startling change that the
"Rainy Daisies" were responsible 70. Their

Rainy Daisies Led Van ....
In Short Skirt Crusade

The movement gained converts Skirts
lost contact with the ground but they won
approval in various quarters, and at last
dressmakers were compelled to cut their
models after the accepted fashion of the So
called rainy day skirt. Dressmakers then,
as now. tried to discourage an attempt on the
part of women to dictate as to what they
should wear. But the women won out and
they have continued to hold on to their
short skirts ever since.
Periodically these makers of women's gar
ments sought to revive the long, trailing
skirt, according to the "reminiscences of one

when she sits on the beach. has aDou' e~-rs'-
thing in its favor, and only the most prudish
person, who knows nothing about the sport,
could have any reasonable objections to 1t.
These same cIamorers against giving
women any chance to expand thar lungs
and grow healthy and strong from ndulg-
ing in outdoor sports, are the same who made
a fuss about women riding astride. They
were Mortified when the first brooches riding
habit was worn and they said so in the loud
est Of voices. But about ninety nine out of
one hundred equestriennes you see anywhere
now have on riding breeches instead Of
riding skirts. And no on is scandalized at
their appearance, and If any one does stop
to think about the rider he or she probably
says, What healthful exercise and how
splendid she looks on a horse"
Women tournament golf players appar-
emily prefer skirts to knickers. They are
usually pictured in tweeds or jerseys with
sweaters or tailored coats While the fad for
playing golf is largely responsible for the
adoption of a sane and healthful style of
dress for outdoor occasions, it is noticeable
that the golf skirt is never worn extremely
short. Midway between knee and ankle is
a length that offers all necessary freedom,
and the width should be ample to permit the
player to swing her clubs and follow through
without ever having to give a thought to
her dress. The golf kncker has arrived,
however, and on almost any course near the
city you will see women stepping out briskly
across the greens in this feminized version
of the mannish suit.
For hockey and tennis the same unham-
pered point must be considered Sometimes

be a short flannel skirt and sweater. The

ers and MILDLY blouse. If it's warm enough,

almost any day in the park with her hockey
sticks. dozen years ago she would not
have dared show herself outside a gym
nasum in anything so utterly unfeminine,
though necessary from an athletic point Of
view as a pair of boomers. Thus has the
sex progressed toward sanity and health in
dresses.
