LOOPING-THE-LOOP c
CA new sport has gripped the
north. 1t is skiing, brought here
by the men who emigrated from
Norway. Wherever snow lies, you
will find the ski enthusiast. The
accepted method of winter loco
motion, in Norway, skiing is at
tracing thousands of followers in
this country and threatens to dis
lance all forms of winter SPORT,

Skiing, imported from Nor

TEEN of winter sport lovers and
promises to take high rank as a
winter pastime. d.
Ski running is the ordinary;
ski jumping is the sensational.
Mere man, earth bound and pom
derous, becomes first shooting
rocket and then a swift-hying
bird.
Undaunted, the ski-jun1per
shoots downward and outward, at
terrific speed, cutting the thin,
keen air like a proiectile, main->
tanning his equilibrium with the
nonchalance of a beau on prone
made.
For instant he is poised beauti-
fully in the air. Then comes the
thud, of the skis, as they strike
and the jumper is hidden in a
snow furry, from which he

would risk the dizzy dash down
the almost perpendicular slide at
a mile-a-minute pace, shoot into
space over the side of hill so
steep that one cannot stand upon
it., and alight safely, 100 or lis
feet away. Az
Sturdy as the pines of their
native land are the ski jumpers
who perform these wonderful
feats with smiling faces. What
to the novice would be suicide, is
to them the wine of life. Falcon
like they sweep down the incline
and falcon-like they leap, eagerly

Spills are numerous, but acct

of a rugged land fear of broken
bones is unknown. So terrific the
speed as they dash through the
thin, keen air, and so steep the
hill side upon which they alight,
that the thrilling flight is scarce
interrupted when a rider falls.
Out of the snow furry the fall

The entertainment of bridge club
has gone up in price along with the
other high cost of living, and when
every hostess wants to match or eX-
coed the hospitality of her predecessor
the expense rolls up like the snow ball
in motion. At a bridge club meeting
last season the waters alone cost ten
dollars, and came all the way from
Milwaukee for that special meeting
Then the hostess, who is one of the
most sensible women IN town, frankly
told her guests what that meeting had
cost her, discussed 1t with them and
suggested that they return to the sim
pie life. It turned out that they all
thought the same way about 1t, ana
the honesty of one woman straighten-
ed the whole thing out Then they
started over again and are now on the
same old path and rapidly working to
the old climax. The question OF prizes
IS a big one, too, and 1t takes a woman
with nerve to hand out a china plate
or a hemstitched handkerchief. One
woman who entertained her card club
provided a plate and a handkerchief
for prizes. Her husband asked her
which of the two she would give to the
man who won That was question
that had not occurred to her when she
made the purchases, but as the hand
kerchief was ladies' size, she supposed
she would have to hand him the plate
'sBut what do you think he wants with
a hand-painted plate % the cold mas
<.uIine logic of the husband prompted
he wants" said the wife. IF he does
not like that plate he can leave it with
me or save it and give it TO his sister
for Christmas. Then there is the
woman who always plays with an eye
single to the winning of the prize

constantly in spite of mediocre part
uers, that all the other women in the

The annual Womans Kansas Day
club meeting celebrates the admission
of Kansas to the Union. Some of the
women who are active in the work of
the club were living in Kansas in ter
ritorial days and can remember the
day when the news of the admission
was received Mrs. J. d. Mcfarland,
then a small girl, says that she re-
calls how the settlers in the hamlet of
Topeka the night the news reached
them that Kansas had come into the
Union as a free state, placed candies
in their windows, and those who could
afford it placed two candles in each
window for illumination. The meet
ing on Kansas day uniteS these early
settlers with their common interests
and common memories to those of a
later day who also are interested in
the story Of their state and concerned
with it's future.
