She may at any time be in China. when a lady sits on the ground to shoot. it is most important that she should be protected against dampness and chills, consequently she will do well to stand on a thick mat, and avoid linen underwear. The safest sort of garments are thick flannel knickerbockers.'] Also, shooting in self-defence, with an appendix on the law relating to revolvers in Great Britain and Ireland, and to the carrying of weapons in the United States.
