This gives Il vice-llke' grip which it is
almost impossible for The leather to

Young drivers, and especially ladies
Iall into, is to catch the rein in such a
way that when it enters the Land it
first passes over the foretinger; when
held in that way it is very hard to keep
it from Slipping, and SO It happens that
when an excited 1850 gives a quick

she thinks her strength is inadequate,
