RECONCILIATION Is AIM

A reunion of the Stillman children
took place yesterday in the home of
Mrs. Anne Urquhart Potter Stillman.
at which Miss Anne Stillman, who re-
turned recently from Europe. was the
central figure. 1t was the first time
since the relations of Mr.. and Mrs.
Stillman reached the breaking point
in the spring of 1920 that all the Still
man children were under one roof.
And being Christmas Eve, Miss Still
man naturally played Santa Claus for
her baby brother Guy, whose good
name is questioned in her fathers
divorce suit.
Miss Stillman arrived in New York
Friday on the White Star liner Adri-
attic. She had not sent word she was
coming, and consequently nobody was
at the pier to meet her. She passed
Friday night in the home of friends
on Long Island and motored to her
mothers home, 90 Fifth avenue.
early yesterday. There she found not
only her mother, but her brothers,
James, Jr.. Alexander and baby Guy.
James, or Bud" as he is called, and
Alexander had just arrived home from
school for the holidays. Guy had been
with his mother for several weeks and
was busy figuring out what Santa
Claus should bring him.
After luncheon Miss Stillman went on
shopping trip In her mothers auto
mobile. When she returned home at
s o'clock she was laden with bundles,
the contents Of which we're not disclosed
by Miss Stillman, but which unquestion-
ably contained many articles on Guys
Christmas list.
Many Presents Brought Home.
A reporter for THE NEW York HER
AID met Miss Stillman as she got out
of the automobile. She handed an arm
full of packages to the chauffeur with
Instructions to take them upstairs"
while she proceeded to answer a few
questions.
Eyes I am here with mother for
Christmas" she said. I'VE are all here
that is Bud, Alexander. Guy and my
self?"
Something in the nature of a re-
union" was asked.
Yes"
Has you father been invited?"
Not that I know Of"
did you invite him?''
Il don't think that would be the right
thing to do-do you?"
Alexander stepped out of the elevator
at this junction with the salutation:
Hello, Sis
Where are you going Alexander"
Miss Stillman asked.
For a walk he replied. Want to
come along?"
Miss Stillman replied in the affirma-
tive and turned over to the doorman a
package she was carrying.
Asked IL she had seen her father since
her return Miss Stillman said she had
neither seen nor heard from him. Asked
whether she had broken with Mr.. Still
man she said that sho had not and
admitted that she still entertained hopes
OF effecting a reconciliation between
her father and mother. How this would
be done she would not say.
Dressed In Squirrel Coat.
Miss Stillman wore gray squirrel
coat. brown pleated dress, low cut tan
walking shoes and a black turban hat.
She is somewhat taller than Mrs. STILL
man but of the same general figure
and possesses many OF her mothers
mannerisms.
Although asserting her plans for the
future ARE very indefinite" Miss Still
man said she probably would eat Christ
mas dinner with her mother and BROTH
ers and indicated she might possibly
stay at the Fifth avenue apartment for
the two weeks she Is TO be In New York.
She will return to Paris at the end
of that time and expects to finish school
there in the late spring.
Last Christmas Miss Stilman was
with her father, with whom she had
taken sides when the divorce suit began.
The reconciliation between her and her
mother occurred last autumn before
Miss Stillman sailed for Europe. Just
what caused tho change of mind was
matter Miss Stillman was not in
clined to discuss yesterday. She seemed
to want to forget all about the diff
culties OF her father and mother and
to enjoy Christmas with her brothers,
