THE HORSEWOMAN 239 



lady to the best of his abihty when she is in a 

 difficulty it is not reasonable to expect a man to 

 lose a day's sport by doing that which is another's 

 duty. 



In case of a lady having a bad fall, of course, 

 another lady will at once go to her assistance if 

 there is one at hand. 



I have purposely said nothing about ladies' 

 Riding dress. It is too serious a subject for a 

 mere man to tackle and I must refer my fair 

 readers to The Horsewoman by Mrs. Hayes and 

 Side Saddle Riding by Miss Eva Christy, in both 

 of which books they will find words of wisdom. 



As a last word of advice to my fair friends I 

 would recommend them to acquire some know- 

 ledge of saddles and bridles.
