SOMETHING MORE ON DRIVING 243 



Comparatively few women are so fort- 

 unate as to have an opportunity to drive 

 Tandems and tandem or four-in- hand. If 



Teams they are so situated that they 

 would be likely to do so frequently, they 

 should not hesitate to take lessons, as 

 otherwise they would slowly learn from 

 many dangerous and costly experiences 

 what a trustworthy teacher could have 

 shown them with safety and expedition. 

 However, it is well to be prepared for 

 all contingencies, and therefore many 

 women may desire to know something 

 about these branches of driving, in case 

 they should in some unforeseen manner 

 have an opportunity to essay them. 



If, for instance, she were driving with 

 a friend who offered to let her take the 

 reins, a woman would not be expected 

 to look to the harnessing and bitting, 

 but there are a few points she might 

 be glad to know.
