TWELFTH CENTURY SKATING.

Skating must have been difficult
art before the introduction of steel
blades, yet Londoners used to go in
for it as early as the twelfth century.
Fitzstephen, in his Description of
London" published in 1880, records
that "when the great femme or moore
(Which watereth the walls Of the cite
on the North side) is frozen, many
young men play on the yce;
some striding as wide as they may
doe slide swiftlie; some tye bones
to their feete and under their heeles,
and showing themselves with a little
picked static do slide as swiftlie as a
bird fyeth in the aire or an arrow
out of a cressbow."

Apparently Rich Field for Those Who
Are Fond Of Making Such
Collection.

Spain is considered by art collec-
tors a lucrative field; and many in
leresting antiques are picked up here
from time to time. Seville has nu-
merous shops where antiquities are
sold, and where the old Spanish
needlework may be purchased. This
section of the country has so recently
Comparatively speaking) been in
vaded by tourists that art buyers
claim to find here many desirable
things Of which the more frequented
countries have long since been al
most "sold out" Probably the old
Spanish needlework and the wood
carvings are the most characteristic
'fnds," though the antique Spanish
and the lustrous Moorish tiles are
also much sought. OF course paint
ings are eagerly scanned, and occa-
sionally a Murillo school picture
comes to sale. AS the history of this
section of Spain is so rich, there are
many antiquities that date from the
Roman period, such as earthen vases
and earthen lamps, also little jew
elry and many trinkets, which are
constantly being dug up in the ruins
Of buried cities; there are several
such in this district, notably Italica,
near Seville.

Advantage Of Concrete Buildings.

Advantage Of Concrete Buildings.
It has been shown in practice that
concrete buildings require less arti
fcial light than those of slow burning
mill construction. This is owing to
the reflection of light from the white
walls and ceilings and columns and
also to the fact that It is possible to
supply buildings of this character with
greater window area.

Smart Woman.

Have white felt hat for early au-

the hoi polloi that you know what's
what in the great world of fashion.
One Of the smartest shapes is the high
and square-crowned sailor with fiat
brim of nearly an inch on the upper
side. There Is another sailor-so
cal:ed--although it has a sombrero
crown which must be carelessy dent
ed This has the familiar rolling
brim that is crushed againgt the crown
at front, back or one side, and never
is set quite squarely upon the head.
Truth to say, it's bit rowdyish un.
less trimmed, as it should be, with q
broad band of silk or velvet ribbon
ending under a double pump bow.
Lastly, there Is the hat Of softest felt
with brim very narrow all around,
save along the left side, where it rolls
boldly against a high rounding crown
that is banded with AN inch-wide
length of corded ribbon going twice
around and ending with true lovers
knot. This ribbon is dull green, red,
gray, mauve-anything save white,
and it's hue Is repeated In the tie
which fastens the white cotton, or fan
mel outing shirt, and the border on
the handkerchief which peeps from
the breast pocket of this shirt.

Llt4IS Bandboxes.

Pretty little boxes just the shape
of the old round bonnet boxes are
made of white pasteboard and covered
with painted flowers in gay profu'
sion.
They are intended for button boxes
or for hooks and eyes; they will do
for pens or for stamps in the writing
desk. So. :
Dalntiness is the first requisite, and
care in the making will bring that
desired result. With library paste the
box is first covered with white wa.
ter color paper, just as the old wall
paper was glued upon the bonnet box
After the cover is dry, gay bouquets
of old-fashioned flowers are sketched
upon the surface and tinted with wa
Ter color.
Through a slit made in each side
of the box with q penknife there is
run a ribbon to match the flowers
and this is tied up over the lid to
hold it in place. .fs ~
Any little gift may be given to q
friend or an invalid, with the pretty
box to lend charm. MINIS to the de
parting ocean traveller could not be

HE is a fine little chap. Did he tell

q thousand questions like most boys,
but I'll wager he knows nearly as
much as l do about the mechanism OF
that car"
"Oh, yes, he came up to my sitting
room, as he always does when he
comes home, and told me about his
trip. He promised me that as soon
as he was little older he would sell
our car and buy one of more i'm

well-as If we were two gentlemen out
