For in the warm weather it is even more advisable to consider comfortable garments than to endeavor to be in the height of fashion. Beginning with the hat, therefore, let us select a straw tile made of a thick, firm straw, which is stiffened with gluc to the consistency of an iron pail. Let the shape be made with sharp, hard rims that fit tightly to the head. Inside, place a thick band of strong leather, with several inner bands of thick flannel, Select a size that fits tightly and compresses the temples and scalp. For a collar let us choose a high one, turned over double, which means cight-ply of starched linen. Let this fit closely, the sharp upper edge scarifying the neck, while the sharp lower edge digs into the clavicle. Let this lip in front, mak- ing a firm barrier to turning the head, or leave it slightly apart, in order that it may pinch the throat. Around this collar arrange a long and thick picce of heavy silk, wadded or stuffed with canton flannel. Have stiff cuffs to match the collar, because if the pulses are kept warm during the summer days the whole body is delightfully calorific. Select shoes of heavy leather, with stout, projecting soles. Or, if preferred, a thick air-tight material like duck or canvas may be used. If the latter, be sure that its inclination to porosity is checked by a liberal application of white chalk past For a suit of clothing in warm weather select a woolen material of dark color Be sure that the collar, fronts and lapels are well re-enforced with stiff canvas, and the shoul- ders padded with five or six pounds of At wool, as this helps to retain the heat. The waistcoat may be of woolen goods, amply lined, or of thick duck, stiffly laundered. Let the belt, if one is worn, be tight enough to interfere with circulation, and of the width and thickness necessary to produce extra warmth. Add gloves of thick, strong kid, with tight buttons, and “ALL RIGHT, STAY THERE, YOU OSTINATE LITTLE BRUTE, I'M GOING HOME.” we may fecl we have achieved a costume for a man on a summer day that is the acme of comfort and ease.
