PAGE 20 irc | Meridian Hills Golfers Find Skating Requires ‘Follow Through’ Too
Hazards of Summertime Are Scenes of Winter Sports; Keeper of Nashville’s Log Jail Ap‘pears in Helen Woodward’s Pictures.
By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON
Whether it’s the influence of Sonja Henie of just .
the revival of the old sporting spirit, ice skating has come back into its own. The becomingness of skating costumes may possibly be a contributing factor to feminine interest. As to locale—the hazards of the golf course have
become the arena of the skaters.
Members of Meridian Hills Country Club and their guests are finding. those little ponds on the golf course which pro so treach€rous in warm weather quite sporty for skating, n6w that winter's come. A long drive and another wood shot from the 13th tee brings a good gentleman golfer to the first pond before the 13th green. The second connects with it and there’s a little bridge between the two. Within a rustic shack nearby a great fire roars in an open fireplace. There the crowd gathers to put on skates, toast marshmallows and rest on the wooden benches as they warm fingers and toes. The - walls are inscribed with dates of the earliest skating of many seasons. * November 16, three years ago, holds the record. : Many of the girls wear ski suits on the ice with gay peasant scarfs tied about their heads. The more skilled women skaters wear circular woolen skirts which give them the freedom necessary for cutting circles and figure eights. Corduroys, sweaters and heavy flannel jackets are popular masculine attire and everybody goes in for brightly colored ear muffs and mittens.

! There's a closer relationship between skating and golfing than the mere location of the ponds. Good golfers contend the |“follow through” for a good drive is similar to the motion required for executing a figure eight on the ice. Mr. and Mrs. Carl McCann are among the best skaters at Meridian Hills. They left yesterday for their annual trip to Lake Placid where they are to spend the holidays enJoying winter sports. ~~ J Other Meridian Hills members who are usually to be found on the Ice include Messrs. and Mesdames Ralph Flood, Howard Meeker, John T. Heckle, Mrs. Herbert Wilson and her children Joan and - Herbert; Carl Eveleigh and Miss Sue Anne Eveleigh, Ralph Colby, Clarence F. Merrell, Fred K. Sale, Otto J. Feucht, Ferris Taylor, Allen Beck; Mary Jeanne, Robert Richard and John Ries; George Mahoney, Miss Mary Scott Morse, E. S. Pearce, George O'Neil and Jack . Messick. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Todd, who are also excellent skaters, ‘are frequent guests of Mr. and Mrs. McCann. A group of’the younger set who frequently skate together includes the Misses Jane Gray Freihofer, Virginia Burkholder, Doris Jones, Martha Ann Schaf, Rose Jane Boggs, Jean Shirk, Madeline Pugh, Margaret Zapf, Martha Bartlett and Messrs. Alfred Piel Jr. Marvin Hamiltoh, David Smith, James Hamilton, . William Irvin, Emory Schlake, Charles Legeman, Hugh Dalzell, David Rodebaugh . ‘and Fred Bates Johnson Jr. :

GALLERY NOTES—Among the most interesting studies in Helen M. Woodward's exhibit in the H. Lieber Cos galleries this week and next are “The Artist's Windows” and “Keeper of the Old Log Jail.” The windows of Mrs. Woodward’s house, which have been reproduced in water color, are arranged with glass shelves filled sith colored bottles, vases and bits of glassware. Beneath the windows is a drop-leaf table with a green bowl upon it and beside the table stands a pair of Windsor chairs. The keeper of the old log jail in Brown County is a venerable black-bearded gentleman, also in water color, wearing a large felt hat and a crimson bandanna at his throat. Mrs. Woodward is the first artist for whom he has consented to pose and last summer when she carried the completed portrait through Nashville the townspeople gathered round to see it. The jail keeper, who is over 85, has had his tombstone erected in the cemetery, with his portrait and his wife’s on it in baked enamel. : - Great stacks of golden hay are points of interest in two other water colors. “Casual Observer,” painted on the Emsley Johnson . farm in Brown County, reveals a black calf standing between a wire fence and the hay stack. Mrs. Woodward says the calf was so absorbed in her work and so very companionable that she just put it in the picture. In “Late Afternoon” a barn is partially concealed by a gigantic stack of hay which is darkened in the fading light of the day. Although the artist painted in a muddy cornfield with pigs all about ‘her, she didn’t consider their appeal sufficient to
paper.

Among the very pleasing flower studies are “Gladiolus,” “Spring Flowers,” “Tulips,” “Lilies and Pewter” and “Green Bottle” with its accompanying green bowl filled with bright zinnias. 1
