Additional Information

• Mabel Taylor, one of the Bradshaw's governesses, shocked the locals by wearing a divided skirt on horseback instead of riding side saddle as was customary for women in c1905.
• Doris Bradshaw became a 'young lady' at age twelve and detested riding side saddle rather than astride.  In her book 'Alice on the Line' she describes Miss Taylor's new look as 'a daring innovation.'
