for tent.

Four extra strips of elastic for renewing those in
knees of bloomers.

One large, strong, soft silk or cotton
neckerchief, for protecting neck from sun, rain,
and cold, also good to fold diagonally and use for
arm sling or tie over hat in a hard wind; silk is
best.

Two head-nets if your stay is long, one if short,
to be worn in case of swarms of pestiferous flies
and mosquitoes. Especially needed for protection
from the midge, black-fly, etc., found in northern
forests and elsewhere during the spring and
through to the middle or last of July. Your net
can be of fine mesh bobbinet; if you have only
white, dye it black; all other colors are apt to
dazzle the eyes. The best material to use is black
Brussels net. Cut a strip of net long enough to
fit easily around your shoulders and allow of some
fulness. Take the measurement smoothly around the
shoulders with a piece of tape and add to this
about three-eighths of the entire length you have
just measured, which will give you the length
required. The width should be sufficient to allow
of the net reaching from base of hat crown across
over brim and down over top of shoulders, about
twenty-two inches or more in all. Cut the net
