with large firm brim. This is impor- 

 tant, for if the brim be not firm the 

 elements will soon reduce it to raglike 

 limpness and it will flap up and down 

 in your face as you ride. This can be 

 borne with composure for five or ten 

 minutes, but not for days and weeki at 

 a time. The other felt hat may be as 

 small and as cheap as you like. Only 

 see that it combines the graces of com- 

 fort and becomingness. It is for even- 

 ings, and sunless rainless days. A small 

 brown felt, with a narrow leather band, 

 gilt buckle, and a twist of orange veil- 

 ing around the crown, is pretty for the 

 whipcord costume. 



One can do a wonderful amount of 

 smartening up with tulle, hat pins, belts, 

 and fancy neck ribbons, all of which 

 comparatively take up no room and add 

 no weight, always the first consideration.
