CARPETS
Skating Is the
Fad of the floiir
Old and Young Have Taken to That
Invlyorating rustimc.
Trfe SCENES AT THE ICE RISKS
They Are Crowded Nightly with All Kinds
and Conditions of Humanity-It Is
Rare Sport for Many but Is
Open to Abuses.
Never before In the history of Scran
ton did Ice skating have so Arm a hold
on the people of .this city as this
year. It is the fad, the craze, and Its
populurlty can only be compared to
roller skating when that pastime was
at the zenith of its greatness. In those
duys boys and glrln, men and maidens
spent their afternoons and evenings In
shooting about the smooth floors of
barn-like structures. Now the children,
young people and many who ceased to
be young years ago, sling their Ice
skates over their shoulders and hie
themselves to some convenient sheet of
Ice, where they spend hours gilding
about the froaen surface. This year
there has been ample opportunity for
skating, which accounts in a measure
for the popularity It has attained. For
nearly two mouths ithere has been good
ice-making weather'almoBt continuous
ly, and aside from the favor with which
those who arrange the weuther have
looked upon skittlng there are better
facilities this year than ever before for
that diversion.
New l'orm of Investment.
Enterprising capitalists have discov
ered that Ice rinks can be made very
protltable, and therefore have expended
their money to arrange suitable places
for the ice skaters to indulge In their
favorite pastime. At first the number
of skaters seen on the ponds about the
city were few. but the fad spread like
an epidemic, and now any afternoon or
evening a myriad of tyros can be seen
on the ponds or rinks desperately en
deavoring to acquire even a small de
give of grace on the little steel blades.
Many find no dllllculty lit mustering the
skates, but others present a sorry spec
tacle, one ludicrous In the extreme. .
There Is no posture that a corpulent
woman can ussume quite so ungraceful
as that when writhing about vainly en
deavoring to keep an upright position
on a pair of skates that manifest a
perverse disposition to lay her on ice.
Vtit the corpulent girls and women don
the skates, thereby relegating to ob
livion the belief that a woman will
make any sacrifice rather than appear
ungraceful.
Where Skaters Arc round.
Every portion of the city has Its fav
orite skating ground. West Side peo
ple affect the Little Woods pond, while
The Envy of
many from the South Side find enjoy
ment on tho Stillwater. Then there
are Johnson's lake. Mountain lake, the
Eddy near old Nay Aug grove, the
rinks at the Driving park and Base
Ball park, and a number of other places
of less renown. To the young man with
a sweetheart skating is an unfailing
source of pleasure. He may not care
a rap about skating and probably in
clines to profanity every morning when
he endeavors to make use of his limbs
stiffened by the violent exercise on the
skates, but after his day's work Is done
he again prepares to escort the one
who, in his eyes, is th; idea of all the
womanly graces to the Ice rink.
Skating gives him so many oppor
tunities to be attentive without becom
ing obtrusive. Skates must be fast
ened to her dainty feet and she must
be held very firmly and sometimes
closely lest she fall, and then there Is
the thrill of the clasped bands and the
sense of possession It gives him to have
this fair, lissom creature lean so trust
ingly on him as they endeavor to keep
time to the strains of a German band
rendition of "My Pearl is a Bowery
Girl," swinging now to this side and
then to that in the execution of the
"roll."
Joys of Skating.
Then there is the walk home, the
parting andithe sleep broken by dreams
of the pleasures of the evening In which
a pair of bright eyes that look up so
A New Beginner.
confidingly cut a very large figure. Is
10 any wonder that the young man who,
In the winter, lightly turns to thoughts
of love, likes skating and will be sorry
when It is no more.
Then, there Is another type of young
man very much in evidence at the Ice
rinks. . He Is smartly dressed, has a
good address and is supremely con
scious of his ability to charm and sub
due the most flinty female heart. He
Is so self-conceited and tactless that
he falls to perceive when he becomes
a bore, and is one of the real nuisances
that ladles who enjoy skating, but dis
like associating with this particular
specimen of the dandy, have to com
plain of. As a rule he Is not dangerous
or insulting Blmplyfoffensive,
An evening spent at the haunts of the
skaters is well repaid if one but look
on and' study human nature as It passes
hurriedly in review. There is the shy
young man, anxious to secure a skating
partner of the opposite sex, yet so dif
fident that hd dare not approach the lit
tle queen he desires. He skates about
her add endeavors to throw himself in
her way hoping that some accident will
confer upon him the boon that would
make him happy. He only makes him
self ridiculous, for the little queen, and
every one else who cares to observe,
understands his object.
The Selfish Skater.
The selfish skater Is usually an expert
and he gracefully sails about confi
dent of his ability. The treacherous

little steel blades have no terrors for
him. He abjiors the learners and under
no circumstances could he he Induced
:to devote any of his time to Instructing
them. Ho Is not accustomed to mak
ing sacrifices and his own enjoyment Is
with him the paramount consideration.
Here you see a young man moving
uneasily about with a strained look In
his eyes. He is waiting for some one
to keep an appointment with him or
perchance a rival has his best girl
skimming about the pond and he Is
waiting wl'Uh 111 concealed anxiety for
their return. Chance acquaintances

pear to better advantage and she Is
never at a loss for escorts who are
willing to exhaust their strength and
patience In an endeavor ito learn hentihe
mysteries of skating. She Is at once
the most Interesting and most sorrow
ful spectacle on the rink.
Children at the Kinks.
At all of the skating resorts are
nightly seen young girls not yet out of
their teens, unaccompanied by escort
or chaperons. They remain until al-

most midnight and then seek the pro.
tectlon of whoever cares to take them
home.
This practice on the part of parents
of allowing their children of tender
years to mingle with the throng of
nlpht skaters is one of the evils that
follow in the wake of the fad of the
hour.
