Snow and Ice Sports in Canada

at is not without reason that dwell
ers In milder climates look forward
with thrill to some time spending a
winter in Canada and sharing the
picturesque sports which, inherited
from the Indian, the Scot or the
Scandinavian, have been cast in their
present form by the yigor and high
spirits Of the Canadian people," thus
says writer in the January number
Of the New IDEA WoMAN's MAGAZINE
In discussing those winter pastimes
which must appeal to all lovers of
outdoors. Few people know to what
extent tobogganing. snow.sh oeing.
hockey aud even Ice. boating are en-.
tered into by both men and women in
these northern climates; and their
social influence In bringing people to-
gether for a common pleasure and
purpose is another attractive side for
which other localities offer no substi.
tutes. The photographs are excellent;
they are full Of action and life, and
show various clubs on their runs and
at their contests.
