In NeW York the Fad
Of FQdS Is Skating

The reason is not far to find for, says
Marie Larocque, how can women resist
when skating togs are so fetching.
New York, January IL. -
II you have not been in New York
this winter you have no idea of the hold
skating has taken on the popular mind.
No moving picture show Is complete
without a reel showing crack skaters.
Many of the vaudeville shows have skat-
ing stunts-on roller skates, to be sure,
very often, but the skaters are dressed
in ice skating costumes and doing ice
skating stunts. One simply has to
stretch the Imagination to put steel run
ners where the wheels are.
Every few blocks there is an open air
rink and owners of vacant lots are max
ing fortunes-simply fencing them of,
flooding them and lining the edges with
benches. The low temperature prevalent
during January and February does The
rest.
All the big hotels have skating rinks
No really smart woman admits 1t If she
does not care for the sport. 1t Is decid-
edly the most highly favored diversion
among society folk as well as the most
popular one with the average New York
er who makes no pretense to being with
in the inner circles Of so-called society.

ing cannot be dsnted But then the CLAW.

Local Treatment to Beautify the Bust.

to injure the glands of the breast. with
circular movements, always rubbing from
below upward.
Here Is a massage cream for bust de-
velopment: Tannin. thirty grains; lano-
line, two ounces: oil of almonds, three
ounces; cocoa butter, one ounce.
All excess Of cream is gently removed
with a soft cloth and the French lotion
applied. 1t Is sprinkled on and gently
patted with the finger tips until 1t is
well dried. A common error almost all
women make is to allow the bust to sag.
1t should never be unsupported. There is
an important anatomical reason for this
into which it is not necessary to enter
here. The statement is sufficient Al
ways wear an Empire girdle or any
homemade device that will support the
bust both during sleep and waking hours,
unless, of course. 1t is sufficiently firm to
hold itself in position. If 1t is supported
by a corset, the girdle can be dispensed
with while the corset is being worn.

er dancing teacher was quick to learn
how to take graceful steps on ice as we'll
as on the polished floor. and those who
were reaping a big return in teaching
the newest dance steps a season or so
ago are reaping a similarly large fortune
now In teaching the newest steps on Ice.
The reason for this vogue is not hard
to discover. For II women had to skate
in plain, stupid clothes they would never
have taken 1t up, any more than most
women would take to surf bathing Ii 1t

But the new skating costume presents
novel picture. They are not at all like
anything that, designers have ever pre-
sented before. They give play to the use
of heavy materials, furs and rough
woven stuffs, muffs and mufflers, tur-
bans and caps.
There are certain manufacturers of
women's frocks and costumes who COM
plain of this sudden coming into vogue
of the skating costume. 1t has meant q
decrease in the demand for dancing
frocks. Other manufacturers have had
no such trouble, for they. like the danc-

skating. turned their attention to the
production Of smart skating frocks AZ
