Fathers Day Given Official Sanction
By President Calvin Coolidge In 1924

Although not given as prominent
place in Americas special days of
eorhmemoration, Fathers Day will
be observed in Bluffton as in the
rest of the nation this Sunday.
For the sake of the record, it can
be stated that the day was originat-
ed by Mrs. John Bruce Dodd of
Spokane, Wash. 1t was given official
sanction by President Coolidge who,
in 1924, urged annual observance of
the day.
For most families observance of
the day means the purchase of a
practical gift for dad since most
men are not sentimental over flow
ers or poetry on fancy remembrance
cards.
Some gift sugestiogns are as fol-
lows:
Neckwear is generally a popular
gift, with men preferring for sum-
mer wear lightweight silk ties with
small figures or simple stripes.
If shirts are given to father it is
better to stick to plain colors or

stripes and avoid the fancy figures.
Belts and suspenders are always
good gifts and billfolds are an old
standby.
If the finances will permit you
might try golf jacket with a zip
per front. The shirt and slack out
fits are always popular for week end
and vacation wear.
There is one type of gift in which
one can get colorful material with
out raising a howl from the man
and that is pajamas. He does not
object to gaudy colors in his private

If you are still puzzled as to what
you can get him chose something for

always welcome additional equip

The inspiration for Mrs. Whit
ney's later work came as a result of
her relief activities during the World
War. With the outbreak of hostili-
ties she established hospital of 225
beds, known as American Ambu-
lance Hospital B" at Neuilly, France.
The hospital was said to have been
financed solely by Mrs. Whitney and
was maintained throughout the war.
Designed Monument Here.
In later years she received COM
missions for many designs, including
the Washington Heights and Inwood
War Memorials in New York City;
the Columbus Memorial at Port of
Palos. Spain. given as gift of the
people of the United States to
Spain; and the monument erected
in Potomac Park, Washington. as a
tribute to the heroism of the men
who went down on the Titanic.
In addition to her work as sculp-
tress, Mrs. Whitney also was a pa
tron of the opera and contributed
occasional articles to magazines and
periodicals.
Only last week the Parke-Bernet
Galleries announced that furnish
ings and decorations of the famous
Whitney 38-room mansion at Fifth
avenue and Skty-eighth street
would be sold at auction April 1880.
The house, once one of the city's So
cial centers. is to be demolished.
In 1884 Mrs. Whitney engaged in a
bitter court fight for custody of her
10-year-old niece. Gloria Wander
bilt. whose father. Reginald. was
Mrs. Whitney's brother.
Mrs. Whitney charged that her
sister -in-law, Mrs. Gloria Morgan
Vanderbilt, was not suitable
parent for her niece, who is now
the wife of Pat De Cicco, Hollywood
actors agent.
Protracted Hearings.
Testimony at the protracted Gus
tody hearings filled $4,000 pages of
court records. Finally Gloria was
declared a ward of the court and
she was intrusted to Mrs. Whitneys
care for five days week and to her
mother for two days a week.
Mrs. Vanderbilt carried the case
to the United States Supreme Court
to no avail.
Mrs. Whitney was known as one
of society's leaders until her hus-
bands death, after which she spent
most of her time at her homes in
Washington News and Wheatley
Hills, Long Island.
Her two surviving daughters are
Mrs. Barklie Mckee Henry of New
