1t has been declared by tho makers of
skates that there is little, if any improve
ment possible in the American skate.
But one of the efforts of this season, noted
by tho New York sun, is in the direction
Of the aluminium skate the one great OBJ
lection being its cost to the purchaser-Sl0.
A new speed skate has been put out by
a Connecticut firm. 1t has some advan-
tageS of increased lightness and strength,
combined with a slightly changed DISPOSE
ton Of the center Of pressure, which theo.
fetically appears TO be an Improvements.
The American club skate still retains
its popularity, but there seems to be evil
dences of n return OF the old wooden foot
hold i'll number of cases. Especially is
this the case with women's skates. The
wooden footholds are on standard frames,
in some cases fitted with clamps for the
toe and in others with straps, the heel
having the ordinary russell heel of leather
riveted to the foothold.
In leading catalogue the illustrations
of ii women's skates contained 6 with
clamps and steel blades, 3 with heel and
toe straps on steel skate, and with wood
footholds and heel and toe straps.
There is good idea in women's skates
for those skaters suffering from weak an
kles, this being an ordinary skate which
has a rigid rod of steel running up the
back of the heel, having broad strap to
go round the ankle, the end of the rod
curling backward from the leg In pair
of high stout skating boots, and with this
support, any weak ankles should be able
to skate

Piano Rack Cabinat

How painfully have the minds Of many
women been exercised at one time or an
other by the problem of how to decorate
the back Of a cottage piano. Draperies do
little to soften the uncompromising square
ness of its straight lines and much in tho
way of collecting dust. Moreover, they
have become so hackneyed that one longs
for little relief from their damask or ars
muslin folds. A looking glass is doubtful

A large proportion of street car accidents
results from Il cause so obvious that it
seems almost uncalled for to describe 1t in

than other people, was instantly killed in
