the immortal George was an eminently
social man, and liked to entertain his
friends But in those days the house

home at Mount Vernon, but at the same
time advised her not to come, inasmuch
as the mansion was always filled with

hides have holes in them, and they
should for this reason be examined
before purchasing A hide is trimmed
in a Y shaped piece cut out at the neck
with the edges OF this inCisiOn stitched
together. This allows the latter to
fit tight up around the neck about the
collar, the back being lined with white
flannel to keep these parts clean. Low
er down strap or elastic IS liked so
as to secure the breast plate around
the waist, and any other attachments
may be provided as may seem neces-
sary. One or more OF these at small
cost can be carried in the car and can
be used with any coat or macintosh
by any passenger.
There is nothing newer or more con-
