A question regarding breeding for Hidden Abilities

Hi fellow Pokemon Breeders, perhaps you all can help me out a lil bit.
I'm kicking off breeding again, and I recently got my hands on a Japanese Glaceon that is a male with Ice body ability (Hidden ability).
With this in mind, in Pokemon X/Y, can a Male Glaceon with Ice body pass on Anticipation ability (A hidden ability) to an Eevee, if its bred with a female Leafeon that doesn't have the hidden ability? I've went through possibily 30~40 eggs so far with no luck.
If this is possible, how rare would you say it would be? If not, I guess I'll have to get my hands on a Female eevee with Anticipation.

@pinksinsftw: So that's what I'm doing wrong. I was trying to breed it with my Leafeon, but I guess its not working. ;~;
I will have to try a Ditto...Which means starting my plan over from the ground up. Thank god my Glaceon is Japanese though! (:
I'll experiment and see what happens. Thanks for replying! I've gone bonkers trying to figure this out...ALL. DAY. Haha
Will it work regardless if the Ditto has a Hidden Ability or not? Sorry for all these questions, 6th Gen has me revising EVERYTHING...

Male with DW ability > passes with Ditto only
Female with DW ability > passes with a male from its evolutionary family only

The odds are 80% of the time the DW ability will pass down to the offspring.
