S 1 { i { | ; WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1922 2 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES - ITEMS OF PERSONAL MENTION Frozen Skokie Marsh Affords Opportunity For New Winter Sport in the more = HE latest fad in t Sled advanced sporting circles C2 O NG of the North Shore is )) leg skate sailing. 'Tis said that a good skipper may make more than 30 miles an hour by the clever handling of the unique little hand sail he carries. It is a light leg 'o mutton canvass about ten by six feet in size, braced up the middle. The skater extends his arms sidewise, holding the leeches and bracing his back against it as he glides over the ice. The light boom is back of his knees, the peak extends several feet above his head. The favorite gathering place for skaters is the Skokie marsh, particu- larly the broad expanse of ice at the Winnetka Municipal golf links, where metors from every town on the North Shore are parked for blocks along Willow road while their occu- pants enjoy the greatest of winter sports for hours at a time. Several of the new sails may be seen there almost any afternoon, while many impromptu imitations produce some- what the same results as the expen- sive originals from the Chicago sport- ing goods houses. It is claimed that there is an ice route from the west end of Central street to Glencoe which is rough only in spots and for the most part excellent skating. Among the well known young peo- ple who frequent the Winnetka ice field are Mr. and Mrs. Morris Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Gary Sutcliffe, Mr. and Mrs. Francis M. Knight, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ackert Banks, Mr. and Mrs. Emory Wilder, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Walcott, Miss Lois Wilder, Miss Josephine Dole, Miss Gladys Spry, Miss Sarah Louise Buffington, Gerald Butler, George Buffington, Robert Landreth and Donald Miller. ---- A pretty wedding of last Saturday was that of Miss Margaret Barnes, daughter of Mrs. Jessie C.
