Detroit IS Skating
This Winter; ana, My!
HOlU She Can Skate

Detroit has shaken the dust OF the
dance floor from her feet and taken
10 the open. She's skating this win

Detroit Arena, says she's right there

Heretofore he was the only man in
Detroit who might be said to make
skating his business, but now he has
competition, feminine as well as
masculine, about 500 strong each
night.
The Vernon Castle pattern in es-
corts is decidedly passe. No anaemic
ball room hoofer can be converted
into an ice partner without a stin
course Of training, and many a
husky young giant who danced like
horse has had his terpsichorean
sins forgiven because his rhythm
thrives on fee.
Instructors are healthy young gods
with Madame Yale compilations, who
have an eye for the matinee patrons
and fond hopes of seeing the day
when Miss Detroit will find her con.
stitution ready for a New York skat-
ing costume.

ADVICE TO GIRLS :::: $%*:: :,:: BY ANNIE LAURIE

ty-One should be able to rid her
parents Of responsibility. II not by
getting married, at least by being
able to support herself and riddins
them of an extra weight to carry.
There are few families in which the
girl can afford to dawdle. When YOU
were little girl you knew 1t just
as well as you do now. yet did YOU
make any plans with that in view?
Why Not Fool Them?
I don't wonder that your dcs-
pcrate family is trying to marry you
off to the first man who evinces any
interest in you; but why don't you
fool them? It's not too late to learn
something in which you can be self
respecting and self-supporting. Let
them see that you don't have to be
married. If you only could show
them your first pay envelope. even
though it contained but SS at first,
their hectic desire to get rid of YOU
would subside. They act that way
because they haven't any respect for
YOU. Make them respect you and
matters will be different.
Some Suggestions.

-NDIA. land of strange peoples. odd
customs, and mysteries more nu-
merous and mystifying than those
of many another country, has moth
ing more distinct to its boundaries than
its flying foxes. These curious crea-
lures sometimes measure as much as
four feet across the wings, and nave
reddish-broWn fur and mole -colored
wings. And when they fly with the twI-
light they ~straggle across the sky in
single file; indeed, their flight Is a sight
that spells to some Indians home
The flying fox is a vegetarian. He
spends his nights reveling in fruit gar
dens. And when the gardener goes out
in the dawn to look over his tlne crop
he often finds it wrecked and himself
ruined by the flock that has fed dur

wrath upon his despoilcrs, because they
have disappeared with the first faint
tinge of dawn across the morning SKY.
Far off, in some remote tree. the
flock is sleeping. But such is their ma
ture that they betray themselves to any
one who chances near. The first conner
to the sleeping tree naturally chooses
the highest and best spot to take mis-
rest-but soon there are others who
come and try to push him off and to
take his place. Then it IS that the first
wranglng note rises on the morning
air. And as each new conner arrives
the notes rise higher and multiply In
number and volume until as the last
corners arrive the neighborhood of that
tree resOunds with the clamor. How
ever they all get settled at last and

and delicious on our morning toast
as any of the familiar orange
marmalades. Al ain. the juice Of
the grapefruit is being manufac-

fruit made at home is in the pro-
portion of two of grapefruit to one
of orange, with half as much lemon
as orange. Ginger combines excel

The effective serving Of grapefruit
is facilitated by the use of the right
