WILLIAM G. wHITNEY's NEW LONG ISLAND
RESIDENCE
pitality being proverbial The interior
furnishings of the place. while costly,
are sensible, and one finds furniture
that can be used as we'll as admired So
even more remarkable than the manor
itself are the stables connected with it.
Mr.. Whitney's great hobby is horse
racing, and at Wheatley Hills he has
built yeritahIe palaces for his equine
pets. The stables here are contained in
what has the appearance of being a
huge Swiss structure, 800 feet in length
and 65 feet in width. with an extension
SO feet by 80 feet, This structure stands
midway ON a gentle slope falling
toward the lowlands of the Hampstead
plains and is so built that on fair days
in winter the sun is never off the stalls,
its rays being admitted to them by
glass half doors.
The stalls, eighty in number, are of
themselves worth attention. They are
of the species known as box and are 20
feet long, % feet wide and 10 feet II.
any way, for back of each is passage
twenty feet wide between the walls Of
the stall and the walls of the building.
Pine and spruce are used in the wood
work. the stall flooring being Of dry,
hard packed earth.
On either side. as one enters the sta
BILE, are two comforta BILE offices. one for
the head stableman and the other for
the veterinary In the extension is a
big harness room, and on the floor
above quarters for the hundred or more
stablemen and boys who are kept busy
until the horses are taken away for the
IA cling season. On this floor. too, are
gymnasium, a library, a huge kitchen
and a big cold storage room. An at
tractive cottage for the trainer is near
the stables. In fact, nothing has been
left undone to make the employees and
their charges as comfortable as posi-
Bile
AS is to be expected. the estate also
boasts a private race track. This is
mile long, the first quarter mile being
straightaway. -. There is also private
steepleehase course, one of the finest in
the country. In addition to these Mr..
Whitney has had an excellent golf
course laid out. and has builtsa private
gymnasium and squash courts for the
use of the family and visitors.
What may be termed the landmark
of the place is huge windmill AS a
matter of fact. this is the only feature
of the estate. noticeable from any dis
lance, so thickly wooded is the country.
The windmill is 175 feet high and
stands on lofty elevation. SO that it Is
one of the most conspicuous objects Of
this section of Long Island.

MisN Heels an9 a "Finishe1" stel

A young lady vehemently defends
the use of high heels. She maintains
that they are much more in accordance
with the laws of nature than heavy,
stodgy, so called common sense" shoe
heels. "All the finishing schools which
teach young women how to attain
graceful carriage" she says, have
one memorable law that is dinned into
ones ears morning. noon and night.
DO keep off your heels. my dear, or
what is the same thing, Walk more
lightly, Miss Blank And when you
step lightly you invariably rise on your
toes more. Try it yourself and see. II
you will keep an eye on your low
heeled girl you will see that her move
ments are anything but graceful. The
reason lies in what have told you.
She settles back on her low heels, and
the result is a logy. stodgy, stiff and
uncomfortab BILE gait. '-Exchange.
