For any style OF riding costume. the
correct way TO wear the hair is to have

The Correct Neckwear.
II doesn't seem necessary to say any
thing concerning the correct neckwear
for riding clothes. Everyone who knows
anything at all about riding costumes
understands. of course. that a white
Ascot scarf. with stock, is the smartest
thing for all times.
Frequently summer shirtwaists with
out coats are worn. and they certainly
make riding a pleasure on warm days,
when a cloth or even khaki costume
would seem uncomtortably heavy.
After all, fashions in riding habits
change very little. Perhaps an improve
ment in the shape of the skirt, slight
variation in its length and in that OF the
coat. but outside of these features one
notices few differences from season to
season. 1t is in the accessories that nov
elites are more often seen; for instance.
in the style of the hat. the correct
gloves or boots, and in the modish crop.
At present the smartest fashion in this
latter feature OF the riding costume is
the use OF light bamboo with a crook.

or finished with a silver knot. Some
there are who maintain that only for the
hunt is the real crop. with its leather

or which serves to unfasten country

however. is a matter OF taste. and many
prefer the crop at all times.
