of the two-talent men, as they have
been oftentimes called. The Youths
Companion tells of a scEoolboy of
twelve who was accidentally burned.
The sight of one eye was destroyed,
and his face was left hopelessly dis
torted for life. The misfortune was
the greater as he had been a singu-
larly handsome lad, and belonged to
a family noted for beauty. When
the boy looked in the glass for the
first time he was silent awhile, and
then said, resolutely: Il wi make
the best of it. 1t shall make no
difference with my life What he
did with his life is known to every
body. The twelve-year-old boy was

NEW YORK. Dee lt-There r. move
ment on foot to stimulate renewed interest
In expert figure skating winter sport
whose 'devotees have become fewer and
fewer IN recent years II Is proposed to In
troduce a system known as the interna-
tioual style, which has grown so popular
among the enthusiasts abroad that there Is
now a generally accepted standard % COM
petition throughout the European continent
and the British Isles Countless organiza-
tions throughout Europe foster the sport
and a surprisingly large number OF contests
Of a national and international character
are held throughout the season,
Only once since the international union
was founded, twenty years ago. has an
American skater qualified for European
competition, principally because the Amen
can style OF figure skating is go radically
different from that abroad. European ex
perts, on the other hand, believing theh'
own system the better. have failed TO enter
American championships
one of the leaders Of the movement is
Mr.. Irving Brokaw, formerly national
champion For two years Mr.. Brokaw
studied the European methods abroad In
company with the leading experts OF
Sweden. Russia Austria, Germany and
Switzerland He Is now fully convinced
OF the superiority Of the foreign system
and believes the American public once &C
quainted with II. will become just as en-
thusiastio over the sport as have the ex-
perts In Europe.
To use Mr.. Brokaw's language THE fun
damentai principle Of the internatio
style is a perfect ordering OF the various
members Of the body in a manner best TO
combine carriage that is easy. natural
and graceful with movements that are
swinging and supple. yet purpOscd and con-
trOlled. II differs from the American style
in that II Is not so stiff angular, cramped
or spasmcdic"
American figures are small, the curves
short the turn quick. the free leg motion
irregular and the skater almost never on
his balance. In the system abroad the
curves are bigger the arms and free foot
play more quiet. systematic function and
the skater is more frequently poised by a
well controlled balance.
In America IT Is very much an Individual
60 as-you-please style. while IN Europe
every principle Is established and leads ON
naturally to another rule. The international
system Is culminative and may be learned
quite easily from a hook
Several exhibitions OF the foreisn style
of Individual and paired figure skating have
already been given In this city by Mr..
Brokaw. Glasses are being formed and the
interest is expected to develop rapidly.
