HUNTING COSTUME 



PAUK OR EVENING WEAR 



IN MUFTI 



Good Form for Women in the Field of Sport 



From The "Rider and Driver" 

 By BELLE BEACH 



SO MANY questions have come up about women's 

 wear in the show ring, the fitness and unfitness, that 

 I shall endeavor to give the "appointments" for dif- 

 ferent classes in their order. For evening and park classes 

 a woman should wear a dark habit of some appropriate 

 material either melton, or dark blue whipcord. Vel- 

 vet collars may be worn, but this is a matter of taste. The 

 coat is made in two styles, one, straight with two buttons, 

 cutaway in front and with a bit of a flare; surely nothing 

 looks smarter than a well cut shadbelly with appropriate 

 waistcoat. 



This type of coat must be well cut and should fit as 

 well as a man's evening coat. High collar and a smart 

 tie of some sort look very well, but to my mind, noth- 

 ing is more appropriate than a high white stock well 

 tied. White, buff or tan gloves may be worn. Of course, a 

 top hat and black boots (I prefer patent leather.) A swag- 

 ger stick should be carried and a flower in the buttonhole 

 completes this costume.
