Show COULD NOT USE SIDE SADDLE. Old-Fashioned Woman Turned Down by Livery Keeper. "It Is hard these days," says a popular popu-lar actress, "to be an old-fashioned woman even with the best intentions. I was resting at a rather fashionable little place not long ago and wanted to get some horseback exercise, of which I am very fond. So I went to a pretentious looking livery stable and applied for a horse. The proprietor Inquired how I intended to ride. "As a woman should ride a horse, with a side saddle, of course," I answered. "Then you can have no horse of ours," was the verdict. "A side saddle unfits the best of horses for any other use. It's an invention of the devil and as injurious to the woman as it is to the horse." All my wiles were powerless to overcome the horse owner's objections objec-tions and I was forced to forego equestrian eques-trian pleasure." |
