  • The Wild West

    (A simple costume for ladies who look good in brown, though for modern purposes the gun should probably be left at home.)

     A brown blouse and skirt; collar and sleeves of red, and a broad band of red surrounds the skirt at the foot.  The skirt may be short and chamois or brown leggings or over-gaiters worn.  A heavy stick or a light gun is carried, and a large brown or red soft felt hat is worn.
