Recovering Rapidly ’Red’ is young and I don’t want to send him in a game when ii would endanger his health,” Sterna man said shortly before boarding a Pennsylvania train for Detroit “But the boy’s arm la recovering rapidly. There is no question but that he will play in tomorrow’! game, if only for a few minutes.’ Sternaman said the club phys ician would keep close watch over the injured player’sarm. Unless Grange suffers further in juries in the Detroit game his ap pearance in the game at Chicagc the following day is assured, Sterna man asserted. Backed by “Red” Grange heartily supported Sterna man’s announcement. He maintains that his injury is not as serious at physicians have led the public tc believe, clinching his argument with the terse statement: “Every football player expects a few hard knocks.” So, with both Grange and his em plover determined that Detroit fans will not be disappointed in hoping for a glimpse of the phantom player tomorrow he made ready to play his seventh professional football game in ten days. Before entraining shortly before noon for Detroit, Grange visited the hospital where young Rody Marshall, jr.» son of a prominent ■1

Ll FOLLETTE OFFERED PEACE Youthful Senator Will Be Ac cepted an “Regular” If Sup porting Party Senator Robert. M. La Follette, jr., son of the late insurgent leader who bolted the Republican party in the 1924 Presidential elections, will be admitted to full Republican standing in the Senate, it was learned today, as a result of a compromise reached by Adminis tration leaders. Butler Weakens This peaceful .solution of the new Senate’s first Insurgent row. it "was said, was agreed upon after Senator William M. Butler (Rep.) of Massa chusetts, chairman of the Repub lican National Committee and spokesmen for President Coolidge, withdrew his opposition to La Follette. Butler was reported as willing to admit La Follette to the Republican ranks for the present, but insists on his punishment if he bolts the party on any strictly partisan issue. Senator James E. Watson (Rep.) of Indiana, who led the fight against La Follette, was reported however as opposing .he com promise. Watson was said to feel Xa Follette’s speeches in his Sen atorial campaign, which included attacks on the President, were suf ficient cause for his removal from the party. Watson stood virtually alone in his opposition. Draw Fine Distinction A majority of administration leaders, it was learned, believe a distinction can be drawn between young La Follette’s and his father s record. “After having been elected as a Republican, given Republican com mittee assignments, including an im portant chairmanship, the senior La Follette went out and led a third party in the last Presidential campaign in an effort to defeat his own party,” said one Republi can spokesman. “That defection merited punishment. Young Bob has never done that. If he does tn the future, then it will be time enough to punish him. Fight Led By Millionaire The fight against La Follette, it was revealed today, was stirred up by William J. Campbell, millionaire chairman of the Republican Rump Executive Committee of Wisconsin, who came to the Capitol and de manded that Young Bob be pun ished. His attitude of “war to the death” against Young La Follette projected the battle. Under the compromise, La Fol lette will be assigned to committees as a Republican, in line for future chairmanships, and given a share of the Republican patronage around the Senate.

‘Eligib les’ Are Myths, Says Miss Mackay NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Both the “belle of the Beason’ and the “eligible young man’’ are myths, in the opinion of Miss Ellin Mac Kay, whose article in the New Yorker, appearing today, continues the analysis she started a week or so ago on the manners and customs of the modem stag and flapper. Miss Mac Kay is the youthful daughter of Clarence Mac Kay, formerly president of the Postal Telegraph Company. Miss Mac Kay, however, it is likely that “young men are Still eligible, still watched by greedy parental eyes and undoubtedly they are as determinedly elusive as •ver.” j “But the game has lost Its savor,” she adds. "There is no longer the same breathless interest in which a young lady erill be for tunate enough to secure for her self the particular matrimonial prize that is at large. “Modem girls are conscious of the importance of their identity and they marry when they choose, satisfied to satisfy themselves." Miss Mackay became an author recently with a defense of cabarets as refuges of privacy for young women who seek to escape “unal luring stag lines” at parties in pri vate homes. She,has continued her criticism of social life in New York In an article entitled “The Declin ing Function,” which carries the sub heading “A Post-Debutante Re joices.’’ Miss Mackay’s second article, published In The New Yorker is sued today, ranges from comments on New York society of the period minutely described in Mrs. Whar ton’s “Age of Innocence,” to that of the present Fall, vaguely de tailed in advertisements of rac coon coats, but most of it is con cerned with parties. “A party,” wrote Miss Mackay, “should be a group of congenial people who enjoy one another's so ciety. and have gathered to dine or dunce or listen to music together. A party of sufficient dignity can !>ecome a function, and the func tion, unfortunately, can become so self-important that it is a bore.” Miss Mackay admitted, however, the “function itself has lost the elegance of other days,” and assert ed that "recently a new and just rs deadly snobbishness has appear ed, and manifests itself In an at tempt to be cosmopolitan.” She continued: “A morbid fear of being considered snobbish has frightened many hostesses into 'a democracy ONLY 21 AND FOND OF DOING THUSLY

6 NEW FACES ADD INTEREST TO TRADITIONAL FUNCTION DIPLOMATIC RECEPTION GALA EVENT; OPENS SEASON President and Mrs. Coolidge Hosts to Bril liant Company; Tradition Followed in Arrangements., By JEAN ELIOT ANEW season. The Executive Mansion newly renovated. New faces in the diplomatic corps and the Cabinet group. A new “master of White House ceremonials” —J. Pierrepont Moffatt—and everybody watching for traces of his “fine Italian hand m the arrangements. No wonder there was a very special interest m the diplomatic reception last evening, as always the first of the state receptions at the White House and the most brilliant. Yet for the most part tne fet«H ran true to form and to tradition from the moment the President and Mrs. Coolidge made their-always im pressive entrance to the last glimpse of the Presidential party disappear ing up the stairway, with Mrs. Coolidge leaning over the balcony to waive to friends below. Not Many Changes Even the Green Room, ab6ut whose “Americanization” there has been so much talk. 1 oks pretty much The same except for its new paint. Fresh paint everywhere ?on-. tributes to an impression of fresh ness. The East .Room is newly pannelled in flat ivory tones, very well done. Flowers wer» used sparingly last night, but with excellent effect. Pink seemed to prevail in the decorations, with potted begonias and quantities of pink roses set off by feathery ferns. In the long cor ridor there were red flowers to match the tapers in many-branched candelabra. The “scarlet coated Marine Band” played from its accustomed station in the corridor. The Stars and Stripes and the President’s flag, borne by a stalwart marine and a doughboy, flanked as usual the entrance to the Blue Room. And as usual the entrance of the Presi dent and Mrs. Coolidge was preceded by the traditional flourish of trum pets and accompanied by the strains of “Hail to the Chief.” Receive Alone The President and Mrs. Coolidge received alone, with only Colonel Sherwood A. Cheney and Captain Adolphus Andrews to make the in troductions —a departure from tra dition there, as of late years it has been the custom for the Secretary of State' and his lady to be “in line” at the diplomatic reception, 1 the member of the Cabinet most closely in touch with each group of honor guests being similarly honored at each succeeding recep tion. There was a departure too for Mrs. Qoolidge, who usually affects straight lines, in the pannier drapery of her gown of Pompadour silk, brocaded in pastel tinted velvet flowers on a white gown. A charm ing gown it was, with a graceful train faced in powder blue and a square cut decoltage. The first lady wore long white gloves, but peeled the one from her right hand to give warmth to her always friendly handclasp. New Faces and New Frocks New faces —and new frocks—lent freshness to the time-honored "stately little procession” of the Cabinet, received above and follow ing the President and Mrs. Coolidge down stairs. There was Vice Presi dent Dawes making his maiden ap pearance at a state reception. Mrs. Dawes, on his arm, was wearing the same graceful gown of white velvet, crystal embroidered, which she had donned for the inaugural bait A little woman, she has a pair of lovely brown eyes, alight with humor, that give distinction to her face. Mrs. Kellogg, with the Secretary of State, was all in silver cloth, a trained gown with sapphire em broidery and strands of crystal out lining the -round decoltage. She wore a small and becoming tiara. Attorney General Sargent, a monu mental man, towered above his small wife, who was dressed in -lace of bronzy tones. Mrs. Davis, wife of the new Sec retary of War, had the look of a Velasquez portrait in her gown of green brocade and silver lace built J iSuit your Gift to the j need—and the need is ~Wm|ig F always for Practical Gifts. “UNIVERSAL GIFTS” combine holi day sentiment with every day usefulness.
