It is not only the women who summer at Burlingame, however, that have taken to the whip in deadly earnest. Over S8an Rafael and Ross Valley way every other horse you see has a woman at the other end of the reins. The people over there disclaim any at- tempt at style. They say the horse with them is a strictly utilitarian proposition, 2 thing to be counted n when they want to go for a day in the hills or when there is marketing to be done in the village. THE SUNDAY CALL Nor have soclety women a monopoly on the horse in the valley skirting Tamal- pais. There are dead loads of pretty maids and matrons there who can handle their horses like veritable jehus, even if their names are not in the Elue Book. In the way of society folk theére is Miss Helen Dean at San Rafael, who is out in the morning as regularly as the sun, or more so. She doesn’'t have her own horses this year, having sold them in the spring, expecting to go abroad. A change of plans found her. summering at San ‘ N Rafael at the tender mercles of a Ivery- man. Miss Dean likes a horse with plenty of spirit and go, and the country liveryman is not noted for that kind, so Miss Dean is hardly seen to the best advantage this year, even though the horse she drives can claim to have seen better days as a member of the horse aristocracy of th Hobart stables. B Then there is Miss Alice Hoffman, who can drive single, double, tandem, a string of three, or four. Miss Hoffman is an all- round athlets, and riding and Ariving are to ‘her a matter of course. This summer she has driven perhaps less than usual, as her four has been broken up. Besides, she has spent a good deal of time at her cabin off in tihe hills, only coming down out of her hermit’s retreat for the tennis tournament or something out of the or- dinary in the way of sports. At Ross Mrs. Henry E. Bothin is easily the champion, although the Misses Cof- fin, Mrs. Ed Schmiedell and some of the other women of the Ross colony are far past the A B C of horsemanship. Mrs. Bothin's favorite hiteh is a pretty little bay mare to a basket phaeton, but she is equally at home driving four to a break. Mrs. Bothin can't remember the time when she couldn’t drive, for she has always had horses. She knows a horse, too, from hair to hoof, and she doesn’'t go by the stud- book. either. The Bothins have great pride in their stables—not for how many dollars the horses stand for, but how few. 13 S "GUOT TAY-OF.
