Cross. Mr.. Gates was a foot ball hero
in 1918. and 1t was at the exciting
game between Harvard and Yale in
that year that casual friendship
between the two ripened into some
thing deeper. Mr.. Gates was captain
of the Yale eleven and swept his

since. Here the Websters will join
her and remain until after Christ
mas. when. unless all their plans go
awry. the family will come to Wash
ington for the season proper. Mrs
Webster. according to her letters,
enjoyed Manila. but the climate was
trying and home will appeal to her,
