moment later Mr.. Vanderbilt disappeared
INTO his own house-the most beautiful
residence in America.
The habits of the Vanderbilts have
always been homely. They have, as a
rule. loved their wives and children. The
present head of the house is not an ex-
ception to the rule He sticks to the old
fashion that parents should take an act

instead OF leaving that matter to maids
and goyernesses. Seven children were
born TO Mr. Vanderbilt, and of these Cor
neils died at Yale while a student, and
three others died while young. Of those
left the oldest is soon to en- Ter into soci-
ETY.. The two younger Vanderbilts are
also girls. These members of the Van
derbilt family spent half of the last sum

York from their country place for day
or so now and then Just to see that Mr..
Vanderbilt himself does not forget them.
They were in New York on the morn
ing referred to above when Mr.. Wander
bilt attracted the attention of the park
policemen. Mr. Vanderbilt dislikes frills
as well as most men, but he respects his
stomach, and being a healthy man he

Mr.. Wander Jilt is not what is usually
termed an cpl ure, but he is no anchorite
and can look at a glass of good wine
squarely. He has has cellar full of it,
too. But MIR Vanderbilt is too sensible
man to sample his vinous possessions
i in the morning. The breakfast is always
sotidble, comfortable affair. at which
even the servants feel al home, for the
VanderOilts are very considerate to their
employees.

swinging along Fifth avenue, shoulder to
