TRAMPING ATTIRE.
A tramping trip can be made or marred by the selection of clothing worn. Years of experience have shown that, the smallest details are of surprising importance. Tor instance, the thickness of socks can make a walk enjoyable or painful. Heavy woollen socks are used by all experienced walkers for the reason that shey do not wear out quickly, and therefore do not injure the heels. Moreover, trampers have found that they are most unlikely to catch a cold from wet feet when wearing heavy woollens. Other apparel is a matter of tasto. Shorts arc becoming popular with both men and women, with a khaki canoe shirt, pullover, and beret. Some women prefer skirts and others riding trousers. Heavy shoes, ' with a few nails in the soles to prevent slipping on grassy slopes, are advised, and, to cap all, a knapsack, or light rucksack, and ft light stick will be found valuable. While some trampers prefer to go bareheaded, the majority use the beret for the reason that it can be readily stowed away if not required.
