Society took of many hours last
week from its pink teas" to go down
to the Tidal Basin to enjoy the fine
ice skating which the cold weather
made possible. People hunted through
their attics for skates which weren't
usable at all last winter. or else
went down town and paid twice as
much as ever before for new skates
and f1ocked to the basin. Then the
fine full moon added much to the
beauty Of the scenes--and finally some
Tive" person got busy and arranged
real skating carnival. There were
races and silver cups as prizes. and
lots of people and lots Of fun-and
lots Of falls.

l have seldom seen a Washington

positively tumultuous. 1t was like a
night at the Metropolitan trans
planted to Washington-women In
their gay evening gowns. and men

brilliant events of the winter, and as
the same people have season tickets.
the audience will be equally brilliant
this evening and every other evening
during the series.
or course, Martinelli is such a won
derful artist he alone would have at
tracted a large crowd, without the
other five artists OF note. The artists
divided themselves into two groups.
three established artists and three Of
the younger generation who have won
their place at the Metropolitan.
Dainty Kitty Beale. who comes from
Washington, reached the Metropolitan
only last year, and she received the
second ovation of the evening. She

most charming personality and stage
presence that should make her an

soon as people stopped crovding

didn't quit until supper time.
Those in charge of the ball had
failed to make any special reserva-

was served at medium-size tables in
the small baIlroom-and at first the
