OUTFIT FOR RAINY DAYS

Knickerbockers, High Shoes, Fitted Mufflers and Knitted Waistcoats Are Best for Bad Weather. A pair of knickerbockers to save her petticoats is one of the most sensible Investments of the girl who goes out in the rain. They are worn with warm woolen stockings or high leggings and are much better than draggled skirts. Robbers and high shoes or, at any rate, high and preferably stormproof shoes attend each ralny-day walk of the well-dressed girl who does not trifle with low shoes and gaiters in the wet Instead of furs—the fitted mufflers of knitted silk and wool or cotton, clasping snugly around the throat, are suitable for wet days. They are washable, ao that white ones can always be kept snowy. Knitted waistcoats are almost a necessity, to be slipped on under the thin raincoat A new ralny-day hat has appeared that should prove useful to the girl whose hair hangs limp and straight in the rain. It is a small and trim toque, trimmed with wings, and fitted in front with a bewitching little false curly “bang.” One must of course, purchase a hat “banged” to match one’s hair. The bangs are put on sparsely enough to suggest nature and not the hair emporium.
