Ice-Skating Enthusiasts Race Over Slick Surface of Frozen Lakes, Ponds Sportsmen Admit Beauty of Glistening Snow, But Prefer It Be Kept Brushed From Rinks In and Near City. BV BEATRICE Bl ROAN Soriftv Editor GLISTENING ice covering Sullivan Lake, the Meridian Hills Country Club pond and the Woodstock Club tennis courts are appreciated more by the ice-skating enthusiasts for the sport they make passible than for their beauty. These sportsmen will admit that the snow-sprinkled ice is beautiful when the sun picks out the rainbow colors. But they say, “Off with the snow, we want to skate.” So every morning if the wind has swept snow on the ice, or if more

snow' has fallen, attendants start sweeping the ice clear for the skaters. Sullivan Lake, near Riverside golf course, is drawing more and more skaters The city has built a log cabin for shelter, and when the skaters reluctantly admit that their toes and fingers arc a “wee bit” cold, they sling their skates over their shoulders and tramp into the cabin. A log fire roars in the fireplace, and in front of it is a log bench. Around the walls are more benches and on one side a table, hewed from logs. A guard stands by to assist any skaters who overestimate their skill; he watches for scratched noses and bruised knees. Gen. and Mrs. Robert H. Tyndall, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene C. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin McNally, Mr.

Men of City ! Given Praise by Shopgirls Women’s Record Is Pretty Black, Clerks in Stores Agree. BY HELEN LINDSAY Only 365 days left to do your Christmas shopping! Are you in training? Indianapolis salesgirls say i you should be. and can they tell you what to practice! In fact, after a tour of the stores and a little “letting down the hair” j conversation with clerks in local stores, Christmas shoppers have a pretty black record. You know 7 that old adage: “Tell me what a man eats and I'll tell you what he is”? Well, the girl behind the counter has another version. She says, “Tell me how a person does her Christmas shopping and I'll give you a character sketch of her that will equal an astrological chart.” Men Get Their Vote In the first place, girls, the men have the popularity vote when it ! comes „to shopping. Salespeople agree that they are the most pleasant Christmas shoppers. Usually, clerks say, men come in a store knowing just what they want to buy, just what they want to pay for it, and it's an easy proposition to supply their demand. Os course, if a man is fussy—and some of them are—they are worse than a fussy woman. Then, according to the sales girls, they wander about the store, look at everything and return to the first counter to select their gift there. A composite picture of the “Perfect Christmas Shopper,” as suggested by local salesgirls would be a person who made his or her list out long before Christmas; who knew before approaching the counter just what he or she was looking for, and in some clever way had ascertained the size, design and color preferred. She Wouldn't Say This “She wouldn’t come in looking for a pair of men's gloves, and hold her own hand out, and say, ‘about a third larger than that’; or ‘he wears a size 11 ( shoe; what size glove should he take?’ ” Miss Lucille Van Sickle, who sold gloves in L. Strauss & Cos. before Christmas, says. Mrs. Carrie Hunsberger, who advised customers at L. S. Ayres & Cos. of the proper shades in hosiery, thinks shoppers are improving, though they haven’t yet reached the perfection stage. “Most people had the greater part of their shopping done before Christmas eve this year,” Mrs. Hunsberger points out. “That shows they are getting better. But they would do even better if they would just make those Christmas shopping lists earlier.”

Virtue That Pleases Clerks Knowing what they want before they come into the store is the paramount virtue, according to Miss Sarah Platt, who coaxed shoppers into buying lounging robes at H. P. Wasson’s this year. “You usually can size up a customer and know just what she wants to buy, and just what she can afford to pay,” Miss Platt explains. “But shoppers like to look at everything, to see just what there is on hand. Men like to buy a robe; it’s the one thing they seem sure of selecting. And usually they show pretty good taste.” There isn’t any doubt in Miss Florence Powell’s mind as to what she doesn’t like in a shopper. She checked them all on her list of mental complaints as she sold scarfs to Christmas sh ippers this season at the Wm. H. Block Cos. Salesgirl Finds Perfect Shopper “I don’t mind a shopper being a careful buyer, but I don’t want her to act as if she thinks I am trying to cheat her,” Miss Powell explains. “I don’t want her to appear domineering, and I do resent her acting as if she were conferring a favor on me by buying a gift. “The perfect Christmas shopper? Yes, I had one this year. She

Happy N e w Y e a r X • y to everybody VfAZ a t your , IVep t ' house from k everybody at M / VONNEGUT’S! II know that’s just ILJ j, /-* i the way they would want me to itt-jQaVV say it. Seems to me y they’ve prepared for a bigger and more joyous New Year celebration than ever before. Surely the drinks on New Year's Eve will taste better if poured from a gleaming chrome Shaker and raised to a toast in ruby glasses. Um .. m.. just one of the handsome sets for setting up the holidavs ... I saw at VONNEGUT’S. There you’ll find that amazing gadget which pours and measures just one jigger at a time. And all the muddlers you can shake a cherry pick at. Hors d'oeuvre trays and cheese boards and all the service that makes a festive table. Start the New Year right with something “practical"-ly lovely! ana California Pepper Berries . . . is the name of some of the greenery you've been admiring. ana And still there are many be-vu-tiful treasures at the JAPANESE ART STORE. Why not invest your Christmas money in something you've always wished to own something to give you joy throughout the years? Jade, teakwood, cloisonne, rustic iron—or lounging apparel with all the glamour of the Orient. (27 E. Ohio St.).

Somehow, she got away before I could get her name and address. “I got in touch with our personal shopping service, and we tried to locate her. I was afraid she would be furious when we did locate her, but she wasn’t. She laughed about it; thought it was a grand joke on both of us. “She was the perfect Christmas shopper, so far as I was concerned. But you don’t find many like that.”

What can I say after I’ve said everything at Christmas? Why to be sure, I’ll get my second wind and start shopping all over again for another and more wonderful year ahead. Every day the stores bring forth their wares to tempt you and me. Which is a very good thing, I thir.k.
