The conversation grew warmer and finally
theoctorOOn who had been aspersed as a''sad

caught her asperser by the wool, banged
artistically over her eyes, and administered a
couple of well directed kicks at her shins.
The other clutched her and for short time

Ia assume a serious aspect in the roller
skating rink at the corner of Eleventh
street and Franklin Avenue. Epithets and
curses were banded very thickly while
blows and scratching were indulged in by
the combatants until negro bustled up and
seizing the contestants managed TO sepefate

when the night is about half over would
make a scene for the pencil of the Black
vile artist. The better class of cOlOred peo-
pie do not attend the place but the cOlOred
nymph du pave and the hOOdlum flourish
like green bay trees. The fun is of the fur

mental excitement the place is at times
perfect pandemOnium. Suggestive position
are assumed by the women who are skating
while indecent expressions and ribald jests
fly from mouth to mouth. Disturbances of
various kinds are frequent and the police
have long had the place under surveillance.
