Should Be Careful
On Fishing Trips

One Of the pleasantest sports OF sum
mer is fishing, but a maiden who ex-
poets to spend some hours on a pier or
in a boat must prepare to meet beauty
destBoyers.
The rig of a girl who often goes
fishing and does not burn her complex
ion Is simple but smart.
Plain stockings and nigh shoes cover
her feet. The skirt is short, even a
bit shorter than the costumes one sees
now in the streets. for she wishes TO
have unimpeded progress when 1t be-
comes necessary to step over ropes or
swing around a mast.
The skirt material is heavy cloth,
double faced. plain on the outside and
plaid on the inside It is heavily
stitched at the bottom. She wears no
independents, but in their place
boomers made CT china silk. In color
they are dull gray like the cloth She
finds this skirt no warmer than a duck
would be with the necessary petticoats
beneath, it does not become stringy or
tumbled. and if wet no harm is done.
On her first excursion her bIouses
were Of plain cotton, and she came
home at the end Of the dav with her
arms and neck burned very red, and
aching. Now she has adopted thin
white flannel. with soft embroidered
turnover collar and silk stock.
This. like the shirt, does not be-
come crumpled, and she says she does
not find it appreciably warmer than
thick cotton. In case a cool breeze
springs I'D she is sufficiently protect
ed; and, best OF all. her arms and
neck need not be burned. Taffeta silk
is equally, protective, she declares, but
