Or as one woman put it -"“‘my husband is So wrapped up in the game that he shuts me up in the closet and kisses the broom goodnight when he comes home.” Yes, I’m talking about that fasein- ating game - Curling. After all these years, I finally got around to watch- irg my first game last week. Or per- haps I should say “part of a game” as I only saw the last twenty minutes. ‘The voices of the men echoed hol- Acwly through the plate glass window that separated the coffee bar from the curling sheets, and their breath rose in the cold air in white vapors. Inside the anteroom it was wari with a big iron stove producing the heat. Two men quietly played crib in a corner, paying ne attention to the game going or on the ice. I leaned on the tiny grandstand end tried to fig- ure out the game. Where was the “house” that Clive talked about; and nobody seemed to be “coming home” as far as I could see. “They're two ends up,” one man con- fided in me. I presumed this was sup- posed to be good, so I ventured a “Isn’t that fine?” and smiled know- ingly. They could have been six be- ginnings down for all of me. The game. was slow. The men walked back and forth on the ice, chatting to each other. Every now and then one of them would peer down the ice to the other end where the captain ~ excuse me, “skip” I mean - was pondering over several yound polished hunks of stone with handles on them.

He rose, and slowly and easily swung his rock. It certainly didn’t look very heavy to me as it left his hand ana spun down the ice.

Finally, “tsk, tsk,” clucked the expert. ‘Right through the house.

A difficult task evidently. Down the rock came; it looked like it y going to be exactly right. Then it started to curve; his team-mates swept like mad, but it didn’t make any difierence. The rock crashed into two of the opponents’ rocks, knocked them out of the house, and ended up by deflecting almost onto the but- ton. Afterwards Clive said complacent- ly “did you see that wonderful shot I made?” When I pointed out that it wasn’t what the skip asked him to do, he brushed this aside and con- tinued to preen himself. I dunno. It’s a funny game. Even the score-board had me all contused.
