Watson, Lillian Eichler, 1902-

"Book of Etiquette, Volume 2"

It
is never good form to crowd a car with more people than it can hold
comfortably, except in an emergency.
"Careful driving" should be the watchword of everyone who owns a motor.
Remember that the streets were not created merely for the owner of the
automobile, but for the pedestrian as well.
RIDING
Horse-back riding is one of the favorite outdoor sports of men and women.
Which is as it should be, for not only is it excellent for poise and
grace, but it is splendid for the health.
A gentleman, when riding with a woman, assists her to mount and dismount.
This is true even though a groom accompanies them. In assisting a lady
to mount her horse, the gentleman first takes the reins, places them in
her hand and then offers his right hand as a step on which to place her
foot, unless she prefers to slip her foot in the stirrup and spring up to
the saddle unassisted. In this case, it is necessary for him only to
hold the horse's head, and to give her the reins when she is comfortably
seated in the saddle. He does not mount his own horse until she is
mounted and on her way.
