Skatino Advice.

Don't skate very heavily clothed, ex
cept IN extremely cold weather.
Don't skate until exhausted and over
heated and then stop to rest in the cold
wind; that means a bad cold. some
times pneumonia.
When an oyercoat is found an in
cumbrance wear paper or fiber vest;
It win protect the back and chest from
the wind.
Don't try to skate in low shoes or
buttoned boots.
Don't wear extra high laced shoes
and do without straps, if possible, as
both hinder the freedom of the ankle
and stop circulation.
Always breathe through the nose. 1t
may be difficult at first, but after lit
tie practice it will be easy.

producer, who is happy in the
knowledge that our readers will be
as pleased with his original produc-

that fact Mr.. Ince became pre-er1 :

as the producing genius Of til

ties had not been appreciated fully
until blase New York grasped at the
infinite art he has 80 nobly spon-
sored.
