|DANCE FLOOR ADDED
TO ICE SKATING RINK

Unwilling to deprive non skaters
tof the privilege of rhythmitizing to
thc music of the Gypsy Sweethearts,
( ioseph X. Tobin. manager of the
crystal Palace Ice Skating rink on
West Myrtle street, has announced
the opening Of a dance floor in con-
nection with the rink.
San Antonio's lone ice rink has
been crowded since its opening night,
Mr.. Tobin said. but many of those
who paid their way into the rink were
unacquainted with the art of skating
on ice and timid about beginning the
recreation.
For the benefit Of those who have
not yet summoned sufficient courage
to venture on the ice, Mr.. Tobin has
therefore torn down several sections
of seats, laid hardwood floor and
made arrangements for the Crystal
Palace orchestra TO play music which
will appeal both TO skaters and
dancers.
The new dance floor will be ready
Thursday night, Tobin declared. and
there will be no additional charge for
the dancing.

Blind Peoples Sense
or Touch Gets Tired

Touch the second sense the blind
turn to (after hearing), has been per
haps most in the spotlight, but at the
same time easily the most overrated of
all the senses they utilize. First Of
all, it has fatigue factor second only
to smell, as tactile reading, its most
conspicuous application, demonstrates.
Apparently, it should be as easy to

Touch simply tires out.

when they simply place the hand of a
blind person on an object.
Reach, too, sets sharply defined
bounds to touch's perspective, often re-
sulting in a warped or fragmentary
concept Of an object, as Kipling's story
of the six blind men and the elephant
aptly illustrates. 1t Is quite hnprac-
ticable to touch many objects such as
moving machinery, hot metal or live
wires, at all-which restricts the use

GLENDERNESS is dear to the heart

nevertheless, Paris sends word that
fall coats are about to follow the lead

the silhouette has made many depar-
lures from the straight line. This

Pearls in Abundance
in Scottish Streams

1t Is not commonly known that the
Scotch River Tay and its tributaries
provide a rich harvest Of pearls which
are sold up to high as $50 each. Any
one can go pearl-fshing in the Tay,
and all have equal chances. The pro-
fessional pearl-isher has bOx-shaped
boat in which he floats downwards
with the stream, and armed with his
simple lens-a piece of glass substi-
tuted for the original bottom of a tin
can-which when immersed, enables
him to see clearly through the surface
agitations to the pebbly bottom, and
long stick with V-shaped notch at
the end, grabs all the shells he sees
as he lazily drifts past, and at the end
of a day his spoil is by no means
small. But the amateur dispenses with
all encumbrances except the nOtched
stick. With it he simply wades into
the shadows and gathers in all the
shells he sees within reach. The shells
are Of various sizes from an inch up
to six inches in length, and only one
in perhaps ten contains a pearl Of
value, although many may carry freak
pearls, black or deformed ones, which
may be quite saleable. A ready mar
ket for the pearls obtained is at the
nearest jewelers. shop, but the profes-
sional pearler prefers to deal private
ly and directly with the tourists who
frequent this district, and who prob
ably thus become possessors Of pearl

a tour of inspection, and here is what
she found: Hanging on the bed in
the guest chamber a card reading:
Life Is what we make it. SO Is a

"Above the washbowl in the bath
room This bowl is not for drinking
