you begin to see that Juggling. instead
OF being merely sensation. is an
art, not too easy to learn. The cor
rect taking OF bank, and indeed any

ton Of a bobsleigh is admittedly a
serious matter. but on o4e's first visit
one may be content to te one OF the

1t is fortunate that tho warmth Of the

And what about the Alps all this
time? Truly the disregard of the
beauties and grandeur Of the scenery
10 one OF the strongest features Of the
winter sportsman. Az long as the
luge track is like ice and the snow is
not too soft or too hard or too sticky
for skiing. as long AZ the sun is
bright and the wind not strong, the
old stager recks nothing of the beauty
Of things. Indeed, he would rather
not see the mountains, for it is a sign
of bad weather On the first day of
his visit he conscientiously Identifies
the various peaks by means OF a guide
book; but once he is the possessor Of
skis and luge, he never gives them
another thought. Ladies are no bet
ter unless they have a taste for
sketching.
1t Is pitiful that the FIRST thing that
strikes one about the Alps in winter
is their resemblance to the common
colored picture postcard. Their
shapes and colors are crude and hard.
The pines, if they are not bowed down
with snow. are exactly that almost
acid green; the sky is a vivid and I'M
real blue, and the mountains them
selves are just as strangely white and
glittering. The colors Of the gorgeous
sunset are reflected on the peaks in
exquisite but not delicate or tender
hues. and there is one particular glow
of light magenta that Ia purely fire.
work. One beauty, which catches the
eye at once. Is the bold contrast of
the sky and snow with the brown
leaves still clinging to the beeches.
The effect is to make the leaves
glow, almost like flame.
