New York. - The Rainy Daisies are
to the fore again. A good many years
ago--a quarter of century to be ex-
act-this group OF New York women
=, started agitating for short skirts for
the street They were quite revolu-
tionary In their stand; they insisted
that stormy weather demanded skirts
a good four inches from the floor; and
their were credited with the rainy
day skirt" which came into vogue to
supplement the trained best" tall
ored suit, They have rather faded out
o fsight in the past five years. There
seemed to be no great demand for
thei ractivity. But now, the need has
dawned again. So at their meeting
place at 300 Broadway, they passed
a resolution the other day appealing
to all women to firmly resist the
mandates OF misguided designers and
dressmakers, and to insist that their
clothes, including panels and other
draperics, be not nearer the ground
than seven inches, and that they be
cut in such a way and with suffiiient
material to permit perfect freedom OF
the limbs"
