when dry turn them back again. Waders arc licttcr dried out of 

 doors than in front of a fire. W'lien they have been used for a 

 fortniglit, wear them for one day turned inside out. 



India-rubber boots cannot be turned, but tiic lining is quickly 

 dried by heating a pint or so of small beans and initting them insirie. 

 If after this treatment the lining is still damp, repeat the process. 



It is an engaging sight to witness the refined manners of a lady 

 accustomed to handle a salmon rod, and put out a line by the 

 different methods of casting. No doubt this is seen to the best ad- 

 vantage in bank fishing, where the question of dress is more a matter 

 of fancy than of necessity. Were it not for a certain deeply ingrained 

 conservatism in adorning themselves with apparel so unadapted to 

 easy exertion that physical exhaustion readily sets in, we should 

 enjoy their company more frequently. 



The two things ladies most need are full freedom of action, and 

 a material impervious to rain. It is, therefore, with confidence that 

 the fair reader's attention is drawn to the accompanying engraving. 



In very cold weather a tweed jacket lined with fliumel is most 

 serviceable. This is shown by the illustration on the right hand side 

 of the picture. In wet weather a waterproof cape of gabardine is 

 worn over this jacket ; so that with the skirt of the same material a 

 lady is well protected from the elements, come what may. The 

 " field " boots, of brown leather, specially made for this purpose by 

 The London Shoe Co., are a combination of boot and gaiter. They 

 fasten at the top with three straps and buckles, and are laced over the 

 instep. They arc made with rather wide welts, and a sole nearly 

 half-an-inch in thickness ; in fact, these boots are suitable for every 

 condition of weather and give complete satisfaction.
