single-breasted vest of reddish leather 

 (the habit material of brown whipcord), 

 fastened by brass buttons, leather collar 

 and revers, and a narrow leather band on 

 the close-fitting sleeves. A touch of 

 leather on the skirt in the form of a 

 patch pocket is harmonious, but any 

 extensive leather trimming on the skirt 

 makes it unnecessarily heavy. 



A suit of this kind should be as irre- 

 proachable in fit and finish as a tailor 

 can make it. This is true economy, for 

 when you return in the autumn it is 

 ready for use as a rainy-day costume. 



Once you have your habit, the next 

 purchase should be stout, heavy soled 

 boots, 13 or 14 inches high, which 

 will protect the leg in walking and 

 from the stirrup leather while riding. 

 One needs two felt hats (never straw), 

 one of good quality for sun or rain,
