Excellent skating on the various
ponds in and about Morristown, during
the past week has afforded muca
pleasure and health giving exercise
to hundreds Of people, young aud ola.
Speedwell Lake, furnishes the largest
sheet of ice in this vicinity available

winds by surrounding hills, the ice

or else seek out an isolated cove
where, sheltered BY overhanging ever
greens. sweet nothings can be poured
into one another's ear without being
overheard by anyone save little Dan
Cupid. There are numbers of ideal
trysting spots and there is an unwrit-
ten law among skaters that they can
only be occupied by one ardent couple
at q time. Like a barber shop on
Saturday night, IN sxt' is observed
with all courtesy. At night Speed
we'll is beautifully picturesque. bon
fires are lit and besides Illuminating
the lake furnish heat for cold noses
and finger tips.
Morristown can boast of many expert
skaters, who are noted for speed as
well as fancy skating. Among the
best women skaters who have been on
Speedwell this season are Miss Laura
