proper to tie your big soft silk cravat
under the left SIDE of the chin and let
one end fail to the bust, the other to
the waist line. The big knot beneath
the ear must not have wide loops, how

A CORRECT HABIT.
Golf, they say. is responsible for this
as well as for the increasing gayety of
the latest made riding habits. Melan-
