With What to Get Them 



patched and mended, require no care to dry and 

 keep in order, look well, and last longer. One 

 sees at times a "guy" dressed up in full regalia 

 from tip to toe, like a knight in armor, so that the 

 "natives" wonder if the thing is not a "Coney 

 Island barker." 



In fishing from a boat in the rain, the best cov- 

 ering is the duck-hunter's rain shirt, which is tight 



to the neck and sleeves, and long 



Rain Shirts 



enough to cover the legs; there is 



nothing more miserable than to sit still in pouring 

 rain without proper covering. 



For Southern fishing in Florida, Texas, and 

 other warm sections, conditions are entirely the 

 reverse, there being little or no rain, but much sun 

 and hot weather. Everybody knows that white, 

 thin material is cool and comfortable, and the 

 main object is to be provided with a light, broad- 

 brimmed head-covering that will not 

 FishimT blow away. A useful article to be pro- 

 vided with is a mosquito shield for the 

 head. They are cheap and can be folded com- 

 pactly, and will be found most serviceable both 

 night and day. At certain seasons some localities 

 are infested with many species of abominable in- 

 sects which make life burdensome. 



The best head covering for hot climates is the 

 "fisherman's phantom hat," made of a very light 

 fabric, which can be folded and carried in the 

 pocket without inconvenience. The sweat band 

 is adjustable and will fit any sized head. It is 

 suitable for ladies' or gentlemen's wear.
