242 HOW WOMEN SHOULD RIDE 



try to get through a small space on its 

 right. If they would only take a few 

 lessons in driving, pay attention to the 

 instruction they receive, and cultivate 

 consideration for others, their presence 

 on the box might be welcomed more 

 frequently and with greater warmth 

 than it now is. 



It would be well if equestrians rode 

 with more regard for the convenience 

 of those who are driving. When a bri- 

 dle-path is provided for them, there is 

 no reason why they should usurp any of 

 the road intended for carriages. They 

 would feel outraged, and justly so, if 

 one vehicle should appear on their road; 

 yet swarms of them daily use the drive, 

 occupying much-needed space, and clat- 

 tering and darting along, unmindful of 

 startled horses and the narrow escapes 

 of their own mounts from collisions with 

 many wheels.
