Vanderbilt's House Warming
in North Carolina.
FAMILY ERING
The New House Will be Open
ed on New Years Day.

Society deserts New York on every high
day and holiday. If one Of the chosen
should be forced to eat his New Years din
ner in town the secre4 will be kept buried
forever in his own bosom. Tuxedo, the
Westchester Country Club, Far Rockaway,
Hampstead and other hunt clubs are filled
to overlooking with members and their
guests.
Since vast estates and magnificent palaces
all over the country have come to be one
of the essentials of every wealthy family,
house parties patterned after the English
mode of entertainment are in high favor.
The richest house party in the world,
not even excepting the crowned heads
Queen Victoria, may gather around her to
celebrate the New Year, will be found in
North Carolina. George Vanderbilt has
finished his six million dollar castle and has
hidden all of his kin to the most magnificent
house warming ever celebrated on these
democratic shores.
Each person invited has accepted, it is
needless to say. for this young Vanderbilt
is the baby brother, and in consequence is
very dear to the older brothers and sisters
and to the nieces and nephews, who are
almost his age.

Mr.. vANDERBILT's PURPOSE.
MI. Vanderbilt has never ceased buying
land. How much he owns in the ~neighbor-
hood Of his home is . question, but il must
be considerably more than 100, 0 acres.
He is not buying this land for any empty
purpose, but to establish a real forestry,
cultivated and managed as CAREFUL as the
small farmer attends to his truck garden.
Mr.. Vanderbilt intends to make his estate
a Mecca for all those who are ~seriously ip-
terested in the study Of forestry, seize Dti6c
farming and horticulture. He has land
enough to carry out any scheme Of this sort,
no matter how big it may be, IS he can 20
forty miles in a direct line from his own
door without passing the confines Of his do
man. II proposes, therefore, to create a
n~e'ghborhood of his WI on this vast proper
~, which includes, among other cultivated
and uncultivated trscts, one forest alone of
more than 100000 acres. He will build 4
village, containing houses, stores, and =
picturesque inn, and apartments will be
rented 70 all properly accredited students
who desire to avail themselves On the facili.
ties offered there for the study Of the sciences
which are his hobby. The farm will be con-
Quoted after the most approved scientific
fashion, and forestry, which u almost I'M
known in America, and which will become
IN q few years a science Of the greatest inn
porfance to US. will be carried on expert
mentally and practically to an extent never
before attempted in this country.
