Skate-Sail, 1910

I'm torn between the amusement and the injury potential. Though the article  in Ladies Home Companion helpfully gives instructions for making the sail at home, I do not have any convenient frozen rivers to test it on. Nor do I think the local ice rink has the necessary wind (or would permit it).
