SKATING IN HOLLAND
That Country Is an Ideal Place for Z the Winter Sport. .
It's System of Island Waterways Offers Great Possibilities The Pop ular Styles of Skate and
 Picturesque Scenes.

Skating is work as we'll as play In Holland. The wonderful system of in- land waterways make of the country an ideal place for skating, and the peo- pie utilize the opportunity thus pre- sented not only to indulge in the sport as matter of pleasure, but as means of getting from place to place. On the canals long lines of peasants may be seen going to and from the villages and towns, and mixed with these sturdy folk may be seen the fashion able people of the cities out for days pleasure.
 Thus it is that Holland has become a nation of skaters. Our illustration is typical scene on a Holland canal. Though it is not particularly usual for the women to carry burdens on the head, it is done often enough that it is not an exception. The costumes shown are typical of the north of Hol- land rather than the southern pro- vinces. .,.-..". ..>,.-.t
 1t will be seen that the skates are nearly twice as long as the feet, with the fore part rising to three or four inches from the ice. Those figured be- long to the kind known as Friesland, but are rather a heavy make. It IS both inconvenient and unpleasant to have so much weight in the front, but the skate is better able to stand hard wear. The skates are attached by one long leather thong for each foot, the best method of crossing and tying be- ing easy to learn, but difficult to de- scribe in few words. Of course, or dinary straps may be used, but they cramp the foot much more than the thong, even when this is pulled tight. The better skaters put their skates on quite loose, and in that way keep per feet circulation in the feet; but the beginner must start rather trussed up. or else he will be sure to kick his skate off in a few hundred yards. .,e
 Some idea of the stroke 1 may be gained from the picture, but for good skating the feet should not be brought so much to the side. When this is done it is necessary to lean over on the other side to preserve the balance, and
