the latter for choice as it is much the more

One thing more I would impress upon the 

 beginner about his dress. He must stick to the 

 full dress if he once begins to wear it. Nothing 

 looks worse than to see a man in all the glories 

 of the ' war paint ' one day and in ratcatcher 

 kit the next. And if this looks bad at home 

 it looks still worse when visiting strange packs, 

 and to visit one in full dress and another in mufti 

 is invidious. Never wear mufti after the opening 

 day under any circumstances is a good rule to 

 follow with those who wear full dress. And 

 remember that full dress is a compliment to the 

 Master which he appreciates.
