Hunting Toys.
The wardrobe of the Northern huntress
is somewhat different from that of the
Southern sojourner, whose days are spent
in dressing, dining, lunching, motoring
and the endless round of frivolous pleas

one dressy frock is all that her trunk
contains. One trunk of medium size is
quite enough to hold all that she will
need on her hunting trip. The dressy
frock is included, but, mayhap, 1t may

Leather Is Practical.
Leather is perhaps the most serviceabie
material that could be chosen for the
hunting suit. 1t Is impervious to cold
and dampness, and though it may scratch

shades 1t is just the thing for this use,

surroundings and being less conspicuous
