 stead of going around it, to return, 

 physically at least, to your pinafore days

Of course one must have clothes and 

 personal comforts, so, while we are still 

 in the city humor, let us order a habit 

 suitable for riding astride. Whipcord, 

 or a closely woven homespun, in some

 is pretty, if you like it, but rather clumsy. 

 Denham will do, but it wrinkles and 

 becomes untidy. Indeed it has been 

 my experience that it is economy to 

 buy the best quality of cloth you can
