Suppose you got on the Mass. Avenue bus instead of going to Brattle Hall. You couldn't miss the Tech Roller Rink; the air is crowded with laughter, and the whine of skate wheels on wooden floor. At first your skates don't seem to go in the right direction; you stumble. Your hand reaches out to steady yourself, and finds another hand in it. Funny, you never think to ask Why.

Among Sonja's skating shoes, of white calf lined with chamois which cost her $45 a pair, and her skates, which are made by John E. Strauss of St. Paul, Minn, (sometimes described as "the master skate man of the world"), for about $30, are several supposedly lucky pairs. Despite these precautions...
