tor-car or carriage the young unmarried lady
should take the back seat and the two married ladies should occupy the
front seat; this is a matter of courtesy on the part of a young lady due
to married ladies and not strictly demanded by etiquette.

A husband should sit with his back to the horses, or by the side of the
chauffeur in the case of a motor-car, when a lady is driving with his
wife.

A gentleman should be the first to get out of a motor-car or carriage,
with a view to assisting the ladies to do so.

As a rule the hostess should leave the carriage or car after her guest
and not before her, unless it is more convenient to do otherwise.

When a lady is merely calling for an acquaintance to take her for a
drive, she should not descend from her car or carriage for the purpose
of allowing her to enter it before her.

In the afternoon young ladies may drive alone in the public
thoroughfares, unaccompanied by married ladies. It is permissible for a
young lady to drive alone in the Park or in the streets. A married lady
can, as a matter of course, drive unaccompanied.

It would be unconventional were a lady to drive alone with a gentleman
in his motor-car, unless he were nearly related to her, or unless she
were engaged to be married to him.

It is usual for the owner of a carriage to sit with her face to the
horses; when a married lady is driving with her she should sit beside
her. When young ladies are driving with her in addition to the married
lady they should sit with their backs to the horses.

When a lady is driving with her husband, and a young lady accompanies
her, she should not offer the front seat to the young lady, but should
retain it herself, and even should the offer be made, a young lady
should not avail herself of it.

=Riding.=--As regards riding in town, the hours for practice in the Row
are from 8 to 10 a.m. in summer and 9 to 11 a.m. in winter, for
inexperienced riders and beginners; young ladies ride with a
riding-master or with a riding-mistress, or with a relative, as the
case may be.

The hours for riding in the Park range from 9.30 to 10.30 a.m.

It is thoroughly understood that a lady may ride in the Park alone--that
is, unaccompanied or unattended--for the purpose of joining her friends.
It is argued, in these days of woman's emancipation, that no possible
harm or annoyance can arise from the fact of a lady riding unattended,
