GREAT BEAUX OF NEW YORK.
Manageable Men Who Rank HighestIn the World Of Fash
iOn---NOtable Youths Now In Society.

To wise and watchful mothers who
are launching their debutante daugh-
ters in New York society this winter.
a more promising matrimonial market
was never open. That is, if they are
ambitious parents socially. and have
an eye to the financial status of pos
sible suitors, as all New York society
mothers assuredly have 1t is perfectly
true, of course, that estates such as are
possessed by George Vanderbilt and.
John Jacob Astor are no longer to be
counted among the probable big prizes
of q season. Still. there is a flock of
elieibles, ranging in age from 20 to so
years, and in fortunes from a quarter
to ten millions, sufficient in number to
give every debutante an excellent
fighting chance ~
Among the eligibles mentioned above
there can be counted not less than one
dozen young fellows just graduated
from the big colleges. And the most
promising feature about this condition
is that this generation of beauX shows
marked inclination for matrimOny.
Hardly was Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr.,
out of college than he found his mate;
young Livermore, but year graduated
from Yale. promptly took to himself
wife last month, and, moreover, a
preference Is SltNl LOT SelctllliS
in their native city and among their
pretty feminine contemporaries.
In the mind of the thoughtful chap
erone the society men who deserve
the title of parts are easily classified.
They come under three heads--those
who are admired essentially for wit,
grace and good looks; next. bachelors
and widowers who are getting along,
have weathered many seasons of love-

their hearts, and who are always
worth hoping and trying for. Add to
these the Croesuses under IS, and you
have the market just as it looks to
any belle.
Of course, there are bright, particular
stars shining out in each of these
three grades, and among the special
parts of the winter are the fresh
faced Vanderbilt boys. They are the
sons Of the brothers Cornelius and
William X, and are just out of col
lege. Alfred, Cornelius. ST. s, son, is q
fine fellow recently turned into his
twenties. He made his debut under
his mothers wing at Newport last
summer He is undeniably his fathers
hope, while he pleases his mother by
taking to society as a duck does to
water. Like all the Vanderbilts, he is
perfectly generous, with an excellent
head for business. and there is not a
shadow of a doubt in any chaperone's
mind that before Easter this ten mil
lion-dollar prize will have selected his
wife. 1t is the habit of the men of his
family to marry young, and with per-
feet independence of the usual consid-
erations in smart society; so, in a
measure, Alfred is regarded as the sue
cessor in the position his uncle George
held for so long.
William Vanderbilt's boy will not
have so large a fortune as his cousin,
for Alfred is apt besides his ten mil
lions, to inherit, as his father did, the
bulk of the great estate Still young
