kind. A good tailor who knows his business 

 is as necessary as a good saddler. A good 

 tailor's work wears twice as long as that of an 

 inferior maker, and those who have studied the 

 needs of the hunting man will make him smart 

 and comfortable. No man can look smart who 

 is not comfortable, and no man can feel com- 

 fortable who is not smart. However plain and 

 unpretending your get-up, if it is well-made 

 and good of its kind, you need not be ashamed 

 to present yourself in any field, however 

 fashionable. It is scarcely necessary to say 

 that no one may wear a hunting cap, Napoleon 

 boots, or carry a hunting crop without a lash, 

 and retain his self-respect.
