" When there may arise differences of opinion as to some of the suggestions con- 

 tained in this volume, the reader, especially if a woman, may feel assured she will 

 not go far astray in accepting what is said by one of her own sex, who has the dis- 

 tinction of three times beating the Empress of Austria in the hunting field, from 

 whom she ' took the brush. ' ' Riding for Ladies ' is certain to become a classic. "
