Society on skates may be fact
In the not -too-distant future, for
Just as half a century ago ice
skating, indoors and out, was a
fashionable pastime, so it is again
in these years midway through
the 20th century. The washington
Figure Skating Club, devoting its
energy to ice skating, will present
its fourth annual carnival Mon
day, March %. The setting will
be a scene at the famous Mardi
Gras in New Orleans, with DR..
and Mrs. Edgar McPeak reigning
as king and queen. This group
Of devotees Of ice skating have
developed a proficiency in figure
work, and through the morning
hours of this carnival members
of the younger generation will
show their skill before leaving
the afternoon hours for their
elders.
Other carnivals were given in
the old ice rink on New York
avenue, now the site of an auto
mobile parking building, and for
many years where the Halls of
the Ancients Museum stood.
Those carnivals of more than so
years back were less elaborate
and perhaps bit less complete.
Roller skating also has had its
day with fashionable society, for
IN the early years of this century
there were groups of those prom
inent in the Capital who did fig
ure skating on rollers, and chill
dren were not the only ones who
took to skates each fall. One Of
these groups was composed OF
diplomats who met one afternoon
each week in the then popular
rink, now bowling alley, on
upper Fourteenth street. Here
the very attractive Baroness
Luise Alexandra Won Bernstorff,
daughter of the last Ambassador
from Germany before the great
war. and her f1ance, Count Raj
mond Pourtales, Attache of the
Embassy, attracted much atten-
ton by the intricate figures
which they executed with grace.
Baroness Elizabeth Rosen, daugh-
ter of the Russian Ambassador
in those years, was another of
the clever skaters, her partner
frequently being the distin-
guished- looking Second Secretary
of the Mexican Embassy, Senor
Terreros Algara.
A thousand men wearing the
uniforms of the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps will be guests Of
the club for the March % per-
formance and in addition to the
members of the organization
there will be out-of-town guests
appearing on the program. Sew

Music in the Air


"She shall have music wher-
ever she goes" is true Of Wash
ington's hostesses today. when so
many social events center around
concerts or musicales. Some are
benefits, such as the concert for
Russian Relief that the Boston
Symphony Orchestra will give
March 81, and the recital Alice
Blengsi will present for the
benefit of torpedoed Norwegian
seamen. Then there are the reg
ular concert evenings such as the
one today by the National SYM
phony and that to be given Tues
day evening by the Philadelphia
Orchestra. If that isn't enough
musical entertainment, Washing
tonians may 60 over to Baltimore
for the Metropolitan Operas
three-day season which begins
tomorrow.
The Norwegian benefit recital
by the attractive Scandinavian
American concert and radio
pianist will be held March 26
in the Wardman Park Theater,
and will be sponsored by the
Norwegian Society of Washing
ton.
Many prominent Washington
ians already have made reserva-
tions for boxes for the Boston
Symphony Orchestra's concert on
the 31st. The President has given
his name as a patron for the
affair. This in itself is unusual,
for although Mrs. Roosevelt often
heads the lists of patrons and
patronesses for various benefits,
the President seldom permits the
use of his name for social affairs
other than the birthday balls for
the relief of infantile paralysis
victims.
Among the more recent reser-

for the Russian Relief benefit,
of which Mrs. Joseph E. Davies is
chairman, has appointed Mrs. A.
K. Payne to be in charge of box
reservations. Other reservations
can be made at C. C. Cappel's
box office.
Efrem Zimbalist will be guest
artist with the Philadelphia
Orchestra when it appears Tues
day evening. This event, like the
appearance of the Boston Orches-
ira, will draw numerous diplo-
mats, officials and members Of
residential society to Constitution

the Mexican Embassy will appear
in a group to hear Aaron Cop
lands "El Salon Mexico" which
is scheduled for the second part
Of the program.

Cronin Going Abroad
To Run Leave Club
For Red Cross
Manager Of Bosox Sees
Baseball Next Season,
Hopes to Be Back Then 7
BY the Associated Press.

NEWTON, Mass, Oct 121.-Man-
ager Joe Cronin of the Boston Red
sox put thoughts of baseball away
today to prepare for a journey over
seas to do war work for the Amer
lean Red Cross.
He hopes he'll be back In time
for baseball next year-if there is
any baseball. But Cronin thinks
there will be baseball because "the
American people want it,"
Defense workers need some en-
tertainment," Cronin explained in
discussing his ideas of baseball's s
future even as he prepared for pre-
liminary training with the Red
Cross. II think baseball is one
of the essentials for the American
public. 1t gives vent to their feel
ings."
First news of Cronin's coming
work overseas came in an announce
ment by the Red Cross in Washing
ton yesterday 1t explained Cronin
would be assigned to manage one
of its overseas leave clubs for
American servicemen but gave no
further details.
Cronin himself explained he
didn't know just what his job would
be, or where he was going. He
expects to 60 to Washington Monday
for preliminary training.
