The secret is out at last.

The secret is out at last.
For weeks and weeks San Antonio
boulevardiers have been wondering
what IL was all about. Promenading
up and down Houston street with
critical eyes searching here and there,
the men Of San Antonio. connoisseurs
of feminine beauty. have been trying
to decide just what has changed the
general appearance Of hundreds of
San Antonio Indies. Whereas once
they were somewhat plump, many San
Antonio matrons now have the slim.
trim appearance Of debutantes, and
no one seems to know just what
has brought about the startling change.
But in last Sundays San Antonio
Light the cat was let out Of the bag
in story to the effect that society
women Of San Antonio who formerly
clustered around bridge-whist tables
munched their dainty saccharine
waters and slipped sweet drinks, all
the while taking on avoirdupois. are
now engaged in the fascinating
advertisement of skating on ice at
the local ice skating rink, gliding
gently around the rink, slowly but
surely losing their surplus flesh.
EASIER THAN ROLLERS.
According to A. +. Beddoe, mani
ager Of San Antonio's latest amuse-
ment enterprise, Alamo City society
women are quite excited over the
newest and easiest flesh reducing
exercise.
"They come out to the rink" said
Mr.. Beddoe Saturday ain droves dur
ing our afternoon session and it's
really quite marvellous to see the
rapid Transformation that takes place
in A very short length of time. We
have been told all of our lives that
skating on ice is very difficult and
thing, and these San An
tonic matrons are all very timid at
first about venturing out on the ice.
Once they put on shoe skates and
summon up enough courage to step
out on the ice they discover to their
amazcment that ice skating is in
finitely less difficult to learn than
roller skating and hundred times
more delightful in its sensation.
ITS really Exercise you know" Mr..
Beddoe continued. "but it is such a
gentle exercise and there is so much
real fun in it that one does not think |
Of it as exercise at all. The trouble |
with most systems OF reducing, dieting,
setting up exercises, etc, is that the |
seeker after slimness grows tired ct |
the irksome details, loses heart and
gives the whole thing up as hopeless |

THE DECLARATION CHAMBER.

The Declaration Chamber in Indepen-
dence Hall in Philadelphia will be a
shrine Of historical interest for visitors
to The Sesquicentennial International
Exposition, opening June 1, 1926, be-
cause of the fact that a series of tab
leaux depicting historical events of one
hundred and fifty years ago will be
given within the actual confines of the
room.
The Chamber, an excellent example Of
English Renaissance architecture of the
Georgian period, retains the original in
terror panelling and decorations, some of
which have been removed. A portrait
of George Washington hangs over the
entrance door and was painted from life
during the war by James Peale. The
furniture is the original of that used by
the Congress from 1775 to 1871. The
silver inkstand used in signing the De-
cIaration is a precious exhibit in the
Chamber.
The Assembly of the Province of Penn
sylvania in October, 1916, was the first
group to occupy the Chamber.
It's use by the Assembly continued for
