- THIS WEEK’S COVER
- Oh, what fun it is to ride on flashing skates, if you know how to pick them up and put them down without landing on your nose in the middle of next week. When snow falls and has to be shoveled off the ice, the joy of skating wanes; but so what? For oh, what fun it is to ski. John Falter saw these gay blades on a Pennsylvania pond and, instead of donning skates and snapping the whip with them, the coward painted them. The last time Falter went skating—at age ten—he spent the afternoon collecting pieces of ice in which minnows were frozen. He says, honest, that he took the ice home, melted it, and the minnows came alive, and that presently his parents were upset to find fish swimming in the bathtub in January. Queer people, painters.
