T'u'enfy-Fmn' THE FOI? U M Peaee Palaee, whit-h has lately been lin- ished. The fishing town of Seheveningen is in walking distanee from The Hague and is a. well known summer resort. The fish- ers of this town dress very quaintly. The men wear small ea ps, lplue or black coats, whieh rome to the thigh, and flaring trousers fsuch as sailors wearj. The women wear tight caps of beautiful hand- made laee over a eap of silver or gold plate. a tight fitting waist. and a. small shawl drawn down under an apron, whieh eovers a very wide skirt. lVhen we had been there a few days, a heavy mist typical of the region gath- ered. and the air grew very eold. In the morning we found that this mist had frozen and made the most beautiful seen- ery one could imagine. 'l'lte eanals were frozen over and the skating began. You could even see the farmer-'s wife ton skatesj going to town with her mar- ket hasket on her head or arm. The ire was soon erowded with skaters of all ages and sizes. who were taking advan- tage of the short period olTered for this sport. Sueh as these were the sights I saw during my first days in Holland. NVallene Boekholt. R. 179. gf Qpurtsmansbip wins W .ls Q ,- Jimmy Dundee was at the end of his rope. As he sat staring at the sleek lines of his speed boat, retleeting on the months of toil and self-denial, even actual hun- ger at times, that it represented, he had reason enough for quitting the game. For the Flying Vee had never won a raee. Jim. a veteran nieelianician, had been imbued with an idea. Ile had changed, radically, the under-body of his boat from the designs then approved, so that the resistance was lowered and the planing surfaee increased. Had his ven- ture succeeded. new records would have been hung up, and fame and fortune would lmve courted him. But it hadn't sueeeeded. not hy eonsiderable, and the worst part of it was the apparent lack of eause for his numerous failures. Jim had faith in his queer, clumsy shaped crate , however. He felt that his ideas were right, and he was sure that the chance to prove it would some day ar- rive. It was heartbreaking to give up all his plans, but his funds, always low. had crackerlunder the strain, for the experi- mental stage of a racing motorhoat is not renmnerative. That morning he had spent very near- ly his last dollar for gasoline. and as he drew up to the starting line of the II. 1', B. Trophy Race, his heart was sore with- in him. He didn't even hope to get into the money. As for winning, the mere thought of the tive thousand dollars prize money sent his head awhirl. Why, if by a lucky ehanee he won, his fortune would he made, for there are always men in sporting eireles ready to buy the patents of a winning boat. But he kncw too well that any boat that planed like the Flying Vee had no chance. As the white ting dropped, he stepped on the accelerator pedal, and oti' shot the Flyer, well up in l'ront. Poor Jim, he al- ways got a good start-and finished an easy last. There was something uncanny about it. They ran true to form. The boat planed nicely, and Jim 's drawing was he- yond reproach, until they hit the rough water in the outside leg of the eourse. But no sooner had the hydro, ripping along at a tremendous clip, struck the first of a tide of waves. than her how soared skyward, her speed slackencd, and she gradually lost place. One. two
