SKATING SISTERS
(Continued From Page One)
Hot Springs, Arkansas. We've been
up to Montreal, Winnipeg, Vancou
ver, Halifax.
"We've never had any accidents
nor any sickness since we are roller
skating.
"Wo have never been insulted. We
always have been treated with the ut
most respect ever since we began to
skate."
In comparing the two sisters, the
mother said that Zoe is the more
ngile, and does her work quicker,
while Claire, the younger, Is more
graceful. To her mind, however,
they are pretty well balanced.
When the reporter wanted to
know where they learned their
" stunts " Zoo said: "Most of our
stunts are original. Of course we
saw the fancy skaters skate. We do
fancy dancing, and we never took
any dancing lessons."
Prof. Wallace, she said, an old
timo skater, a man about fifty years
of age, who has written a book on
skates, is perhaps the best skater in
tho country.
"We fall once In a while," laugh
ingly admitted Zoe, "but not very
often. It doesn't seem to tire us at
all. It makes us eat and sleep well."
When asked what they considered
their most difficult feat, Zoe said,
"Whirling around on our toes, be
cause it is hard to balance and It
makes us dizzy."
In response to the question as to
how old a child should bo before
being allowed to skate, Zoe said,
"live years old as a rule."
"Our skates are made to order for
us. Wo never pay anything for our
skates. They are always presented
to us. I tried every kind there Is.
"People should never skate In
pumps. Tho ankle should be braced
by some kind of high shoe."
During their travels over the con
tinent, tho El Rey sisters have al
ways been hospitably received every
where they went. At St. Catha
rine's, Canada, one of the King's
regiments came to see them perform.
They skated before the late Governor
Johnson of Minnesota, whose wife
took them out to lunch.
They Jump back and forth consid
erably on their tours. When they
left Honesdale earlier in the season
they went to Marllngton, West Vir
ginia, and thence on up through the
western tier of counties in Pennsyl
vania. Towanda they considered one
of the best roller skating towns in
the State, and Williamsport is also
a good skating town.
In summer their favorite pastime
is horseback riding. The sisters
have also given exhibitions on ice
skates in Canada.
How To Rollcr-Skntc.
Tho reporter, who unfortunately
hasn't as yet learned to roller-skate,
was anxious to know how to learn.
"The first thing," said Zoe, " a
beginner should do, Is to walk on the
skates first." 1
When the suggestion was gently
made that this might be easier said
than done, Zoe laughingly remarked:
"They can If they have tho nerve,
but the majority haven't the nerve.
I always advise every person to go
alone. The majority of people are
timid.
"When they can once stand on
their feet, they should learn to strike
out, and when they strike out, they
should bend their knees, and they
should swing their body the way
they strike."
To prove her contention that roller-skating
was a healthful sport, Zoe
showed the newspaperman a large
scrapbook containing stories clipped
from papers from all over the coun
try, among which was a lengthy ar
ticle taken from Health Culture"
magazine; advocating roller-skating
as a healthful pastime.
Tho bisters have been repeatedly
presented with medals, lockets and
diamond rings. They receive the
usual quota of letters from cranks,
the latest being one from a man by
the name of Davis of West Virginia,
who wrote them that 'he Is going to
write a novel and the climax is to be
the answer he will get to his let-
ler. it is just barely possible that
that particular prospective "best sel
ler" may be minus a last chapter.
Zoe weighs 130 pounds and her
sister Claire 123. They are perfect
specimens of girlhood, with the glow
of health and beauty written all over
their agile persons. Withal they
are bright and intelligent young
people, beyond the average.
