N tSssss Ancient Family. 59
An important society event at some
still undeterminate date will be the
marriage Of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt,
head Of the Vanderbilt: millions, and
Miss Elsie French, whose engagement
was. recently announced. Young Van
.derbilt was born in 1877, and graduated
from Yale in 1899. He was making a
tour Of the world. and had reached
japan when his father died. Return
ing home, he found that his father had
passed by his eldest son, Cornelius j.
and had left the 81 entire fortune OF
Sl00, 100000 to himself. Very gener-
ously, however, Alfred Gwynne disre.
garded this, arrangement, and turned
over some 100000 to his brother
This action was a noble one. A family
feud over the distribution Of the Van
derbilt interests would inevitably have
affected many innocent persons \ who
were interested in Vanderbilt proper
ties. It seemed proper and correct
enough to: settle all dispute by. giving
away a kings ransom, but how many
young men are there just out of college
who. could have done it so quickly and
SO gracefully. Alfred Gwynne is a
modest young man, and is said to have

have inherited about $70,000,0O0 at the
age of Sc. When William H. Wander

to his eldest son, Cornelius, who in
herited about $S0,0O0,00O at the age of

herited 100000 900 from his father, the

cause of his marriage, which dis
