A happy Idea.

Some one the other day thought of this
about a calendar. A daughter was to 90
away, to be gone long time, on the other
side of the earth. So the mother. thinking
TO bring her good cheer, bought calendar
Now the ordinary calendar differs little
from its fellow, except happily now and
then in the way of quoted phrase, or blithe-
some child, or maybe decorative fruit and
flower More than that, no ordinary cal
endar seems an individuals very own. AS
how could it, with its counterpart on any
body's desk aud its mates all manufactured
by the dozen?
But the calendar this mother made could
be duplicated by no one, for this is what
she did. Below the date on each leaf there
was blank space. She therefore took the
calendar apart, sending its 365 leaves to as
many different friends and relatives, ask
ing each to write some sort of salutation
on this blank space below the date When
these were returned they were bound to-
gether again, and the calendar was given
to the daughter, who knew knothing of
what had been done. She was made to
promise, however, to tear off no leaf until
the day had ddwned when the leaf was
due
What source of delight such calendar
would be TO an exile from home can easily
be imagined. Every day different greet,
ing from a different friend. Every day a
new surprise, and never TO know till the
morrow what friend was to send a word of
good cheer. -Harper's Bazaar

RESIDENCE OF CORNELIUS VANDERBILT.
liam K. Vanderbilt, now in process of con-
struction, and which will cost over three
millions. There is nothing beautiful
about it. 1t is simply huge pile of mar
BILE and represents the Vanderbilt dollars.
Seen from the ocean the Vanderbilt pal
ace is effective against the blue sky, but
closer inspection fails to discover any art
or beauty about it. 1t is Greek, but modi-
fed to suit the requirements of modern
life, and in that adaptation loses the
strength of the original style. Then there
is an extremely ugly white marble wall
about the place surmounted by marble
urns, and the whole effect is that of a
metropolis rather than dwelling. The
grounds are small, also, which makes
bad impression.
One of the most imposing villas at New
port is that of Henry Clews, named The
Cliffs Situated on a high bluff over
looking the restless sea, its many towers
and gables can be seen from far and near.
The main body of the villa is Of wood,
while the towers are of stone. 1t costs
$500 year to keep up the Clews Cot

THE ROBERT GOBLET COTTAGE.

Up on Halidon hill is the house of Lor-
illard Spencer, costing a million, and also
the estate of F. o. French. Just beyond
we find The Moorings, the home OF
Schuyler Hamilton. Near by is the pretty
home of Judge Hugh Dicl1ey.
As we make turn on Bellevue avenue,
just beyond the residence of Fred Wander
bilt, we come TO the home of Fl. II. Cook, a
wealthy retired banker of New York; then
comes the magnificent estate of Fl. NJ
Brooks, who married Miss Higgins, daugh-
ter of q well known manufacturer of New
York. A celebrated artist says that of all
the homes in Newport this is the most ar
tistic. Just at the end of the avenue stands
Inchiquin, built by Banker O'Brien for
his daughter Mrs. c. f. Livernore. 1t is
of graystone and stands on an eminence
overlooking its neighbors.
On the Ocean drive is the villa of Ross

look at a second time on the street. His
tall form, which in old age was but slight
ly bent, was always clothed in the old
fashioned black swallow tail suit, and he
always wore a tall silk hat, generally a
back number" tilted slightly back on his
head. For years he was famous as a man
who never wore an Overcoat, and TO his
death he never burdened himself with that
TO him unnecessary garment except on the
most severely cold days For a half cen
fury he never changed the style of his
clothes. He walked with a swinging gait,
had so many friends and acquaintance to
whom he had to bow that a smile seemed
TO be ever on his face
Ii his long public life he owed his success
to the fact that he gave all people in his
presence to understand that he, by the &C.
cident Of popular favor, was placed. in his
own estimation, in no way above them,
and that they were entitled TO all courtesy
from him. So be became strong in the
peoples regard. All through his public
career he was as faithful 20 the poor as to
the rich. and served with equal zeal his
friends and those who opposed him. He
made it rule to give the business of
everybody in his district his personal at
tention in the depart ments, instead of

millions of dollars In no single resort Of
this country is so much money represented
as at Newport. A comparatively plain cot

Newport is resort only for the wealthy.
The town is possessed by millionaires.
From its situation it is comparatively in

rich men who summer there are deter
mined to keep it so. There are no prices

carriage. An electric railway, which was
bitterly opposed by the summer residents,
