Let Women Drive.

1t is not many years ago that any
thing in the shape of a horse was sup
posed to he good enough for n woman.
1t was the popular idea among those
who knew that given good horse a
woman could ruin it in less than a
year. All this has changed among the
intelligent women. however. Nova
days the women know how to handle
horse-that is, those who use their
brains and have watched the real
horseman at his work-so this question
of sex is not as important as it was at
one time. OF course there are thou
sands of women who know little or
nothing about the horse, but with the
great number of horse shows all over
the country their education is progress
ing fast and it will not be long before
almost any horse with a reasonable
disposition can be safely trusted to a
woman and be driven or ridden with
out damage. At the same time there
are ladies' and mems horses, not due
to the fact that the animals will be
handled by the different sexes but be-
cause they require different character
istics according to the persons in charge
of them-Country Life In America.
