178 FAMILIAR FISH, THEIR HABITS AND CAPTURE 



the cloth is difficult to tear. Have knickerbockers 

 rather than bloomers made, as branches and twigs 

 may catch the voluminous baggy knees, thereby tear- 

 ing them. One pair is sufficient, together with coat 

 and vest. Two suits of underclothing, two pairs of 

 stockings, and a sweater complete the principal outfit. 

 Necessaries in the way of handkerchiefs, towels, comb 

 and brush, razor, small looking-glass, shaving brush, 

 tooth brush and powder, are added. One suit of 

 underclothes and one pair of stockings can be easily 

 washed out when the others are in use. By all means 

 wear a tarn o' shanter, as it affords excellent protec- 

 tion from rain, sun, or cold, and makes a good night 

 cap in cold weather. Also of value is a pair of low 

 canvas, rubber-bottom tennis shoes, to wear about 

 camp when boots or shoes are removed. The above 

 list is all that is necessary, and reduces the amount of 

 personal baggage to a minimum. 



Only a few hints on camping can be given in a 

 limited space, the subject being worthy of a volume 

 by itself. But perhaps a sufficient general idea has 

 been given to enable one to make a first attempt in a 

 comfortable way. For the rest, experience is the 

 best teacher, and one soon learns to know all the 

 minor things that go far to make a sojourn in camp 

 delightful.
