man's Privilege of Popping

The New Year for the womenof
the world heralds the first big break
they have had for four years.: It is
leap year, this 1932, comments The
Toronto Star.
Investigatious,,pursued by The
Star reveal that leap year is some-
thing more than a pleasant joke.
What is the origin of the gallant pri-
vilege which is extended every fourth
year to the gentler half of creation?
Myth and history both have some-
thing to say about 'it, Myth ascribes
it to no less a personage than St.
Patrick.
The story was told to The Star by
Prof. C. T. Currelly, director of ar-
chaeology at the Royal Ontario Mu-
seum. He produced an •old book call-
ed "Quaint Usages and Customs',,
which relates the legend of St. Pat-
rick.
St, Patrick was accosted by Saint
Bridget one day as he was perambu-
lating the shores of Lough Neagh
and she began to wail at the fact
that women were not allowed to
choose their awn mates. Now celi-
bacy was not enforced as a general
and absolute rule for the clergy in
those days (according to the book).
St. Patrick was moved 'and offered
to allow women to propose once ev-
ery seven .years.'
"Squeeze Me Again"
St. Bridget demurred. It wasn't
enough. She threw her arms around
Si. Patrick and begged him to con-
cede still more.

Ski. Runners of the Canadian 'Rockies
tieVe
•„;.•.808
ith a field of activity unequalled the world over the new winter
sports association the Ski Runners of the Canadian Rockies,
is rapidly coming into prominence among skiers and winter sports
enthusiasts generally. The new organization is' patterned largely
after the famous Trail Riders and its locale, unequalled for
scenery and facilities on this:continent and probably without a
rival even in. Europe, is Banff, in the heart of the Rockies, with
runs and trails varying from one to ten days: in duration and
covering such world -known objectives as Mount Assiniboine,
Simpson Pass, Shadow Lake, Lake Louise, Ptarmigan Valley and
Pass, Bow Lakes and Pipestone Pass. Ski-ing over some of these
' passes. is in full swing as late as June when visitors are enjoying golf
and tennis, fishing and hiking, in the valleys below. But the sport begins in November each year.
