TIIE.HKE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1915 I) J ! I ! 1 ! I ! 1 ! : By MELLIFICIA. Wednesday, December 8, 1915. AT last Omaha has caught the ice skating; fever, and rather late In the Infection, some are thinking. There is a very credited rumor afloat that the old base ball diamond at the Field club will be converted Into a rink. With the windows of Omaha shops displaying such attractive skating costumes in such fetching caprices of modes, it Is a great wonder that some hidden influence has held back the skating impulse this long. It has been raging In that hub of all modes and fancies, New York, long enough, the while world knows. It has struck Chicago and struck a tell ing blow. The last Sunday's papers were filled with it, it had invaded the restaurants; and, where the light hearted formerly danced between the courses of luncheons and dinners, not to speak of suppers, they re now go ing to skate, or dance on skates. , The Ice Tango and Jack Frost Hesitation are the steps of the moment, every one is learning them; but, above all, everybody is dressing for them. At the first Chicago indoor gambol on Ice, a marked feature of the frolic was the number of women who wore ice-dancing frocks that were fashioned for the ballroom; silks, laces, nets. In a few more days, the change had come the women danced, looking the part . If there Is one thing under the sun that can make a woman more adorably fascinating than another, It certainly must be known to that specialist in such refinements, Mr. Florenc Ziegfeld of the Follies. Fonr years ago it Is now since the skating girls of the Follies set New York and the world that goes to New York Into a state of abject be wilderment of admiration, and the girls were dressed .n far more clothing costumes than tin ballroom demanded.
