THE SKATING FAD

Society's pet craze this winter Is
skating. Last season a good many
dancing floors began to be converted
into roller Kinks. This year in many
Northern cities. ice skating is drawing
the crowds that but recently paid
down so much good money to learn
the transient art of tangofrg
1t is somewhat difficult for the
philosophical observer to account for
the fascination found In making
some hundreds of rounds about the
narrow hall containing a roller or ice
rink. Probably a mere barbartc ply
steal longing for speed is a large
share. of it. You find that trait in all
cold countries, where boys from time
in1nemorial have risked their necks
en- sleds, double rippers. toboggans.
and skis.
The scorchfng motorist is uni
versal illustration of this love for
swift motion. He is blind to the
gIoriess of the scenery. The human
types that he meets do not interest
him, only the story of his speedo-
meter and the condition OF the roads,
Perhaps the skater has a related feel
ing. No doubt skates Of any kind
do give sense of obstacles removed,
of weight of the body released, of
easy motion, that produces. physical
citation.
Many athletic young people devote
time and. effort to the elaboration of
all kinds of skilfuI stunts on skates
which must give the pleasure that
goes with any form Of bodily skill
Their afeats of balance on their slip
perry anad uncertain footing of either
I-rollersFor ice, are as marvellous as the
acts of any tight rope walker. The
freedom of the motion makes posi-
bic the most flowing grace.
Whether the skating craze can last
as long as the dancing fad did is a.
question It will always appeal to
sentimental young folks anxious for
an excuse for each others society.
It must be less responsive than dane
ing to the sseductfons of rhythuatcal
Tnotion and musical feeling. In the
ice skating districts there are rare
times when lawyers, doctors. minis.
ters, and business men acquire the
fad. But. in the long run it is a kid
sport, the joys of which,, in the boy
mind, seem to be enhanced by the
possibilities OF a cold wetting.

q young man of rs, with whom used
to keep steady company. Now he goes
with another girl. When he is with
young men he speaks pleasantly to me
IL we meet. When he is with girl he
scarcely speaks. What can do to
win back his love?
RE
could more easily tell you how to
make the brook run up hill, or how to
cause the sun to shine when Il is
cloudcloaked. than to tell you how to
win back the love that has run its
course and been deverted into another
channel You must bring your girlish
pride and dignity to your aid. Treat
the young man politely. but indtffer-
emily when you meet. Love which
another girl can, win from you is not
worth keeping4let alone grieving
over. There are others No doubt a
truer. more worthy lover IS in store
