PAEK AND ROAD RIDING. 45 



Dublin, Mr. Scott, of Sackville Street, will do 

 equally well ; indeed, for any sort of riding- 

 gear, ladies' or gentlemen's, he is not to 

 be excelled. If you are not within easy 

 distance of a city, go to the best tailor 

 you can, and give him directions, which he 

 must not be above taking. Skirt to reach six 

 inches below the foot, well shaped for the 

 knee, and neatly shotted at end of hem just 

 below the right foot ; elastic band upon inner 

 side, to catch the left toe, and to retain the 

 skirt in its place. It should be made tight 

 and spare, without one inch of superfluous cloth ; 

 jacket close-fitting, but sufficiently easy to 

 avoid even the suspicion of being squeezed ; 

 sleeves perfectly tight, except at the setting 

 on, where a shght pufiiness over the shoulder 

 should give the appearance of increased width 

 of chest. No braiding nor ornamentation of 

 any sort to appear. A small neat hnen 

 collar, upright shape, with cuffs to correspond, 

 should be worn with the habit, no frilling 

 nor fancy work being admissible — the collar 

 to be fastened with a plain gold or silver 

 stud.
