This is welcome news to all her friends for 'tis likely that Christina will pass through Wash- ington en route to their new post, and if not, Havana is much | nearer than China, so many of us will decide to investigate the famous charms of Cuba! Whether their wedding date, scheduled for May 15 in Shanghai, will be advanced, remains to be heard. L O AST night the ball room floor of the Shoreham was trans- formed into a glistening, frosty surface for the ice carnival at | which the Swiss Minister and Mme. Peter were the guests of honor, | as the opening night was dedicated to Switzerland. | Turning our attention to the ice, we obtained an introduction to the famous inventor Benager Nu Dyke, whose timely discovery | was responsible for the successful filming of Sonja Heine’s ice | skating picture. Since it is a well-known fact that real ice photo- | graphs badly, Hollywood was definitely “up a tree” until this syn- | thetic ice came along. It is a scientific marvel, so intricate to pre- | | pare that its inventor has not even troubled to patent it. After | years of experimenting, he succeeded in making a non-dissolving | ice. The chemicals used are first reduced to 40 degrees below zero, then the mixture is gradually raised to 300 degrees Farenheit. wooden floor is laid over the ball room floor, then the mixture is slowly poured on and allowed to cool, forming a porous mass which might be termed “snow-ice.” Yesterday consternation reigned at the Shorehame as the mixture refused to harden; eventually it “snowed up,” which necessitated sweeping off six tons of snow! | The show was pestponed 2 hours in order to given the ice a chance to harden, and never before has Barney played more continuously, inveigling the guests into tripping the light fantastic in order to smooth down the tightening mass. By this evening the surface | will be completely hard, and, incidentally, when in perfect condi- tion, it is only 10 per cent slower than ordinary ice! The Minister and Mme. Peter came down from Boston for | (Continued on Fourth Page.) ! SOCIETY.
