I started another thread with a vintage Times letter about railway concession. Having read further into the book, I keep seeing other posts to bring to your modern eyes. Here is one:-
Side-Saddle Riding (1924)
Sir, - A woman sitting on a side-saddle, and sitting well, is beautiful, and she does not wring her horse's back. a woman who sits askew is not beautiful, and she hurts her horse's back. A woman sitting astride is ugly, because round thighs do not allow the astride seat to suit her figure.
Mr Uvedale Lambert. South Park Farm, Bletchingly, Surrey.
