It's from the original cover of White Boots, aka Skating Shoes in the US, a children's novel by Noel Streatfeild, which is about the developing friendship between two skaters, Lalla, who is the one on the right with the white jersey and bonnet and pink skirt, and Harriet, who is the one on the left. Lalla is rich and Harriet is poor and is learning to skate because she's been ill.
The cover illustration is by Milein Cosman. And here's a link (http://www.whitegauntlet.com.au/noelstreatfeild/ChildFiction/Images/BooksWhiteBoots_dj.jpg) to the cover.
(Edited so link goes to dustjacket, not frontispiece.)
