people have always been royers and ex-
plorers. We skate as we are-that IS
all. Skating is wings 10 the feet, so
why should we be content to wheel
about in q tiny circle when there Is
all the blue sky TO explore?
Skating is individual. No, ody really
skates like anybody else, although you
can often tell from the way one skates
who his teacher or master has been.
Ny own style Is myself-somewhat Ger
man, somewhat Russian, somewhat
Danish and somewhat the way you
Americans would skate If you practised
more.
"For the development Of fine bearing
and distinguished carriage there is no
sport in the world like ice skating.
American women wear the best clothes
Of any women in the world, but they
do not wear them with the distinction
they might. Skating would add much
TO their appearance.
There is no place in the world where
the grace Of carriage and the decorative
beauty Of fine clothes make such an
appeal as on the ice. There is d sway
and rhythm about a graceful woman
who skates well that nothing sur
passes. All Europe knows this. The
society and court circles have been en-
thusiastic devotees of skating for
years. Paris has its skating fashion
show every year, and some Of the mod
els have been taught % skate well, 50
that they might be more valuable IN
showing OF the sport costumes. Berlin
makes much Of skating fashions; the
beautiful skating costumes are part of
the attraction Of the ice palaces.
Women will go long distances TO see
pretty clothes, especially those adapted
10 a special purpose which interests
them.
Skating is the ideal sport for WON
en- from the standpoint of physical de-
velopment Smooth and supple muscles
are the result Of skating, without the
knots and punches Characteristic Of the
development through other sports.
Skating tends 10 the development of the
whole body. The greatest strain comes
at first upon the ankles and feet, yet

neither are enlarged by skating. In
fact, one skates In shoe smaller than
one wears for walking, since there is
no bending Of the foot at the toes
Skating is the natural sport Of the peo-
pie Of more than half Of the world.
Women are now taking up any sports in
which they feel an interest, even il men
did originate them. And in those
things in which grace Of carriage, del
icacy and style are required for supre-
macy it seems perfectly natural they
should excel"

towns and villages within committing
distance of New York. This when the
grcat movement from New York to the
country was at its height. Then the
sales of suburban real estate suddenly
ceased TO a N-ry great extent. People
stopped buying land and putting up
homes. and a multitude OF skilled arti-
sans and mechanics found themselves
face to face with n period Of id.eness.
Some of the more conservative and
far sighted did not wait long before
seeking Jobs elsewhere. Others, and a
great majority. | understand, kept on
hoping against hope that activity
would commence again, that their SER
vices would be in demand So they hung
on. asking everywhere in the vicinity
for work, and finding at bOst only occa-
sional jobs. \. man who has long been
familiar with suburban conditions tells

savings were used up before thsy had
