Decries Riding Astride.

an endurance that makes hardened

the height accurately" she says In eX
PLANTATION Of her fine jumping.
"Now, my idea OF jumping is to take
a horse back thirty or forty feet, have
him go slowly. talk to him all the time,
then let him measure the distance, get
the right take off, and nine times out
OF ten he will go over as clean as
whistle. DO ever ride astride2 Ger

think any woman who Is born with the

word for II, this new way is no more
than a fad which is doomed as TO popu-
