him to get new suit

A few weeks afterward the friend met the

for dressing so shabbily.

to see you stoop to the level of engaging in
controversy with such men as that fellow

'But I couldn't help it; he has an attach

"Don't cultivate such attachments in life.
Such people as he is can do you no good,

steel pin, which prevents the skate from slid
ing sideways out of position, which is little
to the inside of the center of the foot. The
bottom of the blade is rounded slightly
away from the center, SO it will run over
rough ice andis equally as good on smooth
surface.
On small rinks, or where there are sharp
turns, the blade should be rounded more, so
as to swing around the turns without loss Of
speed. The blade should be made of the
best tempered steel and apple wood is the
best for the tops. The straps should be e1-
ira wide in order to prevent cramping the
feet. They should be made of caliskin,
extra high around the ankle and tightly
laced.
