LADIES RIDING SIDEWAYS The honor of the

country is attributable to Anne Of Bohemia, con-
sort OF Richard tho Second. She it was accord
ing 70 Stow that originally showed the women of
This country how gracefully and conveniently they
might ride on horseback sideways. Another old
historian, enunerating the fashion Of Richard the
Seconds reign, observes, 'Lkew noble ladies
then used high heade and comets and robes, with
long tralns, and seats on side saddles on their hor
ses,by the example of lts respectable Queen Anne,
