Skating, ski-jumping, sliding and snow shoeing, in fact almost all of the winter sports have come in for their own this week. The golf course at the Shuttle Meadow club has been| the scene of many gay parties—a colorful picture indeed with the y'::f people attired in their brilliant sport costumes, tams | and s flying to the winds. The skating ponds at the club| and in the parks too, have attracted their own contingent in no | small number, It is really difficult to say which is the more popular sport, for society of all ages has made the most of this week of winter weather, turning the city into a miniature St. Morits. Missing and perhaps most missed from the ensemble | is the good old fashioned sleigh ride—Gone are the days when with the event of a.snow storm nearly all New Britain's more youthful members turned out in horse drawn sleighs, scamper- ing and frolicking on the snow flad‘ highways. . The clubs seem to hold a prominent place in society’s calendar at this time of the year, for instance, the New Britain College club will observe its annual Guest Night, Monday eve- ning, February 13, at St. Mark’s Parish rooms. .. program of songs will be presented by Miss Ada Segur, soprano, and Robert Craik, baritone, former star of “The Desert Song” and “The Vagabond King.” The Woman's club will meet Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the chapel of the First Congrega- tiona! church when Marshall Bartholomew, professor of music at Yale University, will spez:k o.n “American Folk Music.” | g " The annual ball of the Kenilworth club has long been re- ed as one of the social events of the season, and this year m which will be held Friday evening, February 10, at the Hotel in Hartford promises to be as great a success as | in former years. C. R. Talmadge is chairman of committee completing necessary arrangements. * * - Eddy-Glover Post, American Legion, is to benefit by the proceeds of Commander Richard Byrd's talk at the Strand theater tomorrew afternoon. The affair takes on the air of a'! social function of wide interest. Many people will follow it with ' supper parties, entertaining in their homes, the local clubs and hotels.
