How to Dress for Rainy Days.

If we give but a few minutes to the selection of our clothes for rainy days, we can add with our dress much of the warmth and cheerfulness that is lacking in nature. Bright-colored dresses are appropriate and give a pleasant note to otherwise gloomy surroundings. If one must go outside of the home in rainy weather, high shoes with rubbers, a short dark skirt which does not soil easily with rain and mud, a raincoat, a rain hat and dark gloves should be worn. However, a brightcolored tie or blouse will give a warm not to the costume when the wraps are removed. Red is a color of warmth and looks well on rainy days. Goldenbrown, purple and bright shades of blue and green are cheerful- colors. Dull grays, blues and greens should be worn only on bright days. Light materials should be saved for warm, sunny weather or evening wear.—Farm and Fireside.
