Mrs. Mccormick Says Old

By CONSTANCE DREXEL,

Chicago, Oct. 22.-The ammunition
Senator Hiram johnson is firing into
the league of nations in speeches
here is hardly more deadly than the
shots Mrs. Medill Mccormick is hurl-
ing into the League Of Women
Voters. Utterly useless and super
fiuous," are some of the mildest ad-
jectives she uses.
Mrs. Mccormick is the wife Of
United States Senator Mccormick.
Of Illinois, and the daughter Of the
late Mark Hanna
Mrs. Mccormick does not want
the League of Women Voters butt
ing" into her plans for organizing
Republican women. and frankly
says so. Mrs. George Bass, chairman
of the Women's Bureau OF the Dem
ocratic National Committee, is Just
as open in her opposition
Mrs. Mccormick declares in no un-
certain terms that the National
League of Women Voters and all its
State branches will only interfere
with the influence OF women in po-
litical Affairs
Mrs. Bass Urgent.
Mrs. Bass. from the Democratic
point of view, made the same ssser-
tions. She even entered into per
sonal criticisms, declaring that the
National League of Women Voters
in Washington would amount to
| nothing but a means of supplying
well-paid positions TO some we'll
meaning women who had been sc-
| tive in the suffrage cause.
. In my opinion" says Mrs. Nc
! CormicIi. women should work as
members OF the Republican or Dem
ocratic parties. And only through
! the parties. Any outside nonparti-
son organization of women trying 10
work politically is worse than use
ful and superffuous. That monde
script outfit of women will only sue
ceed in interfering with the re-
suits that We women, who have re-
sponsible positions in the political
parties, intend TO put through.
We intend to have a Democratic
and q Republican womens lobby in
Washington. Anyone who thinks
that we women who have been ap-
ipointed to important posts in our
party organizations intend to dror
our efforts after elections is en-,
tirely mistaken. Mrs. Bass and
have not been appointed for tho
campaign only: our appointments
are for four years.

This comfy" little corner vii become
the sanctuary of gift impulses. the secret re-
pository of gift desires for this great coumu-
nifty. Here the wouId-be siver and the pros
pective receiver will commune through the
graceful Intervention of Gift Granny.
Gift Granny is the creator. and Gift Granny
is the name of the method whereby an old
fashioned practice has been adapted to
modern store service As "Grannies" Of old.
secretly Informed gift-givers IN the small
home circle, Gift Granny now serves the
whole community and IN the same old way.
Her method is very simple. By letter, she
asks the one who is to receive the gift to
write down just the things that would be ac-
ceptabe, with description. colors and sizes.
and this list, when it is returned to her. she
gives to the would-be gver. whose name Is
kept strictly secret. Thus gift-suessins Is
avoided. worrying about what to give is un-
necessary and both giver and recipient are
assured that the gift is Just the thing.
Gift Granny does not suggest or advise;
she merely acts as Intermediary. Nor Is she
interested in the sale of any merchandise. She
has no knowledge of what the would-be siver
does with the list after it is taken from the
Chimney Corner The service is free and
there is no obligation to purchase 1t is an
ethical effort to promote and protect the eth
ical practice of giving and to discourage gift
guessing.

yourself all gift worries, turn In the names
