OUTDOOR SPORTS.
Appetites are sharpened by the long drive, and hampers must be well packed with substantial viands. Potted meats, all manner of sandwiches, game pies, cold birds, and substantial beef and tongue, will be sure of appreciation.
(See “Dress,” etc., for suitable attire.)
Hunting Parties.
Hunting is very little favored by ladies on this side the water, though it is occasionally indulged in by a few. The enthusiasm, however, of a ride to hounds is much dampened by the knowledge that an anise-seed bag, instead of a fox, furnishes the scent over which the hounds give eager tongue. Those who attempt to hunt must be at home in the saddle.
(See “Dress,” etc., for appropriate attire.)
Archery, Lawn Tennis and Croquet.
These popular games have their own etiquette, rules, dress, etc., so thoroughly established that all devotees of these sports understand the routine without giving it place here.
Never dispute, or show any temper over the outcome of any game.
