LADIES' OUTFIT. 69 



A net of fine Swiss mull, made as we have pre- 

 viously described, as protection against mosqui- 

 toes, gnats, etc. 



A pair of buckskin gloves, with armlets of cha- 

 mois-skin or thick drilling, sewed on at the wrist 

 of the glove and buttoned near the elbow so tightly 

 as to prevent the entrance of flies. 



For the head, a soft felt hat, such as gentlemen 

 wear, rather broad in the brim. This is light and 

 cool for the head, and a good protection from sun 

 and rain. 



A flannel change throughout. 



Thick balmoral boots, with rubbers. 



A pair of camp shoes, water-proof, warm and 

 roomy. 



Short walking-dress, with Turkish drawers fas- 

 tened with a band tightly at the ankle. 



Waterproof or rubber coat and cap. 



A pair of Lisle-thread or kid gloves. 



To this I add, as it occurs to me at this point, 

 that no party should go into the wilderness unpro- 

 vided with linen bandages, prepared lint, salve, 

 and whatever else is needed in case of acci- 

 dent. You will not, probably, have occasion to 

 use them, but if any casualty should occur they 

 would be of the utmost service.
