the VANDERBILT CHILDREN.
They are Carefully Educated and
Syste marIcaIly Trained.
rLadies' Home Journal.l


Although all the members of the Van
derbilt family entertain on magnificent
scale they never permit their children TO
remain up late at night, are extremely
careful in their education, and, In
word, are fitting them for life as well as
any mother or father could do. 1t is
one of the rules in all the houses of the
Vanderbilts that the children shall go to
bed early and rise early. The little boys
and girls are up before 7 o'clock in the
morning. Their nurses Immediately
take charge of them, see that they are
properly bathed and dressed, and then
they go down to breakfast, which is
served at half-past o'clock.
1t is an unpretentious meal, with
plenty of fresh milk, eggs, oatmeal and
a bit Of steak or chop that will add
strength to their physique and color to
their cheeks. After breakfast there is
an hour of study. There is something
for these little ones to do at all times
during the day. They go through their
studies Systematically, and then, about
half-past 8, are taken out for walk.
They are allowed to romp in the streets
and in the parks to their hearts content.
At IL o'clock they are brought home,
and light luncheon Of milk and bread
is served, after which there are more
studies-either French, German or draw
ing-and then another breathing spell;
it may be horseback riding, or a drive
out through the park and along the
country road.
Back they all come about o'clock,
and there is another hour of study, and
then they are through for the day. They
are allowed to do just as they please
until tea time, when after their meal
they spend pleasant hour or so with
their fathers and mothers and others
who may drop in to call. Promptly at 8
o'clock they are all in bed to sleep
soundly, and get up the next morning to
go through the same programme. So it
is not strange that all the children of the
Vanderbilt family are further in adj
vance of their little friends in the mat
ter of education. For they study, study,
study all the time. They are all fond of
music and most Of them can play on the
piano.
The girls are learning to play on the
harp, and the boys are famous among
their friends as violinists and banjo
players. If you were to see these chill
dren ON the street you would not for
moment suspect that they were other than
children of parents in ordinary circum-
stances. They make no display at elabo-
rate dress. The eldest of Cornelius Van
derbilt's daughters is dressed plainly in
little, pretty, cheap dresses without any
braid or ornamentation. She wears snug
fitting cloth jackets, land the little cap that
sits gracefully on her head could be du-
plicated for couple of dollars

STANLEY After his Return.
Scribner's Monthly

Nothing worried Stanley mere than a
tap at the door while he was writing
He sometimes glared like tiger ready
to spring. When his courier knocked
tremblingly at his door he would cry
out, "Am I a prisoner in my own house?"
1--WE brought you this telegram, sir. !"
"Well, l detest kilograms. Why do
you persist in bringing themP"
Every time Sail, his African servant,
approached the den the least thing he
expected was that the inkstand would be
thrown at his head.
One day he originated new way of
saving his head. He had telegram to
deliver, so he ingeniously fixed it on the
end of a long bamboo, and getting the
door just ajar he polzed it into the room
and bolted
Although averse to reading correspond
ence, Stanley read some letters with
keen delight, and one in particular from
a little girl. 1t contained the following
characteristic lines:
ut was very kind of you to go through
such perils to rescue Emin Pasha
liked so much to hear of your fighting
against the dwarfs, and should like to
see one very much. They must look so
funny, being SO small. | am little

lWesb NneS1er (fa) Record,
Another incident of the 'vhae1,,,a,,,,
excursion over to Europe we overheard
one morning. They were riding alono,
through Germany when a German ' lbs
threw good sized club out in the rooS
to see them run over it. UNFORTUNATELY
the club struck a wheel, broke out four
or five spokes and caused rider to take
a header. They al dismounted and
made for the boy. The parents put in
an appearance. Between English and
German it was difficult to make them
understand what the boy had done.
Finally the affair was illustrated by
the production of the club and the
wheel. Then the old man turned on the
boy and gave him o terrible whipping.
When he got through the wife continued
on in q second edition. All efforts to
induce payment for the broken wheel
were in vain. They were willing to
pound the boy, but had no money to re-
pair damages. '='-'-'ss'7-'''' =

ppffs or in low catogan braids. For the
street the hair is usually braided in five
or six close plaits and fastened quite fiat
to the back of the head, much after the
manner of foreign peasant women.
1t is neat mode, but only becoming
when worn with q bonnet or hat. For
home more individual style is better
and more becoming, though one can fol-
low the general fashion to reasonable
extent and still retain certain amount
of individuality.
Every day shows what beautiful new
gowns can be made from the rich and
elegant goods of this season. saw to-
day two dresses just imported which
are everything most to be desired. One
was satin gloss ladies' cloth in Quaker
drab, made princesse style, opening over
brown faille. The waist buttons to the
right shoulder, and down the opening is
fine tracery of braid in brown. Brown
faille sleeves and pocket flaps and collar
ornament it, and in the back is fan
plating of faille between the gray
breadths. The same style can be made
in any becoming color
The other dress was of indigo blue
cashmere Of the finest quality, with
vest, sleeves and V shaped panel of
corn colored faille. The whole was
trimmed with the new escurial lace in
sertion in cream white. The shape of
this also is princesse, or as some call it
Sheath" on account of its fitting so
snugly. Garnet and pale blue, or brown
and tan, or ecru and moss green would
all be handsome colors to combine, and
a black crystallette with cherry silk
would be beautiful combination.
There are some beautiful and quite
novel fringes shown for trimming wooden
dresses. They have double lines of little
round balls of wool matching the goods
in shade. They hang from strip of
braid, the lower line four inches deep
and the other line about three. They
are very effective when sewn around the
drapery.
Dinners and receptions are now at
hand, and / give two gowns, one for
young girl and the other for young
married lady. The dress for the single
one is short and of pale blue crepe de
chine. The back is princesse, with fan
drapery. Rows of white Spanish lace
are laid back to back, making hand
some trimming from shoulder to foot.
Feather trimming would be equally
pretty and no more costly.
The sleeves are of ruby velvet, and
there are also several rows Of the same
trimming the foot of the skirt, the front
of the corsage and the sleeves on the
forearm. The front is gathered beneath
a large cairngorm stone. These are

drapery on dinner and reception dresses.
Nuns yelling is pretty substitute for
the more expensive crepe de chine, and
pale blue cashmere would also be very
handsome.
The dress for the young lady who has
become one of the matrons so recently
is made of pink glace silk and black vel
vet. The style is the most pronounced
sheath, and the sides are of velvet richly
embroidered in Persian patterns in silk
and gold. The silk is all laid in ac-
