Society in the east is still excited
over the skating fad. 1t is hard to see
how hat sort of recreation could de-
throne the dance in popularity. From
reports, however, it wouldn't be sur
prisins if the one-step and the fox trot
would have to retire before the dash
ing skates. In the east, 1 am told by
a woman who lately returned from
trip to New York. they are as wild
about skating as they were crazy about
dancing when the tango fastened its
new-fangled fangs upon society. The
returned traveller visited the Hippo
drome in New York to see some of the
famous professional skaters. The
fashionable hotels and even some of
the residences are installing ice Kinks,
and the fashionable women are busy
designing their costumes for the new
pastime. A lot of fur and much of
the new leather material for the skat-
ing outfits are used.
New York it seems, is taking the
credit for launching the new fad, but
the Topeka woman, who keeps pretty
well in touch with amuSementS in
other cities, tells me that she thinks
the idea travelled east from Chicago
Last summer when she spent some
time n Chicago, the women were TAX
ing skating lessons at the Sherman
House. and that even that early in the
season, the Kinks We're built next to
the dining room. So that the diners
could watch the skating as they ate.

During the holidays a Topeka wo-
man has had the bad luck of the year
heaped upon her. Her maid went off
for vacation, and she had half doZ-
en- or more substitutes on trial. In
the midst of that affliction she was
stricken with grip. She then received
the applicants for domestic service in
her room. Her young daughter a few
weeks previously had been Quaran-
tined with enunpS, and after she had
recovered she brought the sign into
the house, and as Il souvenir she hung
it on the wall of her room. The most
promising applicant for service, a col
ored girl, called and was engaged by
the woman of the house. She went to
the daughters room to put it in order
and was confronted by the humps
sign. She dropped her broom and
buster in the middle of the floor,
rushed to the bedside of her employ
err and gave notice that she was leav-
ing in five minutes. Questioning
brought out the fact that the girl was
afraid of the new style method of
quarantining by hanging the keep
away sign in the remotest part of the
house. Explanations were fruitless;
the servant was sure she had beer |
trapped into dangerous quarters, and |
besides, she had had them mumps
TO- times and didn't allow she wanted |
