DRIVING. 



Women should drive in practically the same manner and 

 form as men. Reference to chapter will give in detail the 

 correct method. Still, a few extra hints may be of use. 



To begin with, women must be careful not to become 

 exaggerated or pronounced in their style. While they drive 

 in the same form, as men, still, they must remember they 

 are not men, nor need they obliterate all touch of the 

 feminine from their appearance. Nothing to my mind can 

 look worse than to see a woman affecting the mannerisms 

 of a groom, perched on the edge of her seat, and even 

 saluting her friends with her whip, as I have seen some 

 women do.
