Ice Skating Real Fad in Society at Capital

THAT part of Washington society
] which delights In outdoor winter
sports has started movement to dis
cuss the ways and means Of promot-
ing ice skating. To that end invita-
tions were sent out by committee
of interested men and women for a
meeting which was held in the ban
uuet hall of one of the large hotels.
II is hoped the feeble efforts Of Jack
Frost" in Washington may be supple
mented and real ice skating provided
for those who wish.
The tidal basin at the foot of the
Washington monument Is unsafe at
best. and then there are only a, few
days skating on 1t through the win
ter. Last year the time was extended
somewhat because Of the almost un-
precedented cold weather In this re-
gion There are many expert skaters
in Washington. who come from all
parts of the world. Most of them be-
long to the diplomatic circle. although
not a few are people who have spent
