according to size needed; then fold the strip at
centre across the width, fold again, making four
even folds. Once more fold and you will have
divided the net into eight equal parts. Mark the
net at each fold and open it out (Fig. 30). Cut
armholes in the divisions marked 2 (Fig. 30) to
fit over the shoulders, sew together the two ends,
bind the shoulder armholes holding the net loosely
that it may not pull and strain. Sew an elastic to
back corner of each armhole, hem the top of net
strip and run an elastic through hem to fit snugly
on base of hat crown. Gather lower edges of net;
then try the net on, adjusting lower and upper
gathers so that the veil will blouse a little,
remembering not to let the net touch your face; if
it should, the little tormentors will bite through
and torture you. Sew a piece of black tape across
lower edge of the front and another across lower
edge of the back, fitting the tape to lie smoothly
over chest and back; then bring forward the
hanging pieces of elastic, adjust them comfortably
under the arms, and mark length of elastic to
reach around under arm and fasten with dress snaps
at front corner of armhole. Cut elastic and finish
net (Fig. 31).

_Ornaments_--Never take rings, bracelets,
necklaces, or jewelry of any kind to camp; leave
all such things at home, and with them ribbons,
beads, and ornaments of all descriptions.
