From the New York American.

ety. I find happiness and contentment In my life as it is Mir Corey and l are not concerned about false rumors and reports. We have learned not to care. but to go on living our own lives quietly, regardless of l what others may say"
 This is the answer Mrs. William Ellis Corey (Mabelle Gilman)) makes to the reports, current since her marriage, to i the effect that she and Mir Corey have been consistently counting recognition by by society, only to be as consistently snubbed
 Breaking her long silence. Mrs Corey, in interview granted to the American recently, at her home, No. sos Fifth ave nue. declared she was quite content in pursuing her art and attending to do mestic affairs, and that she had no time for trivial things. She discussed her plans for the autumn and winter, de- scribed her programme of work and recreation for each day, and smilingly declared herself to be what she certainly looks-a happy and contented woman.
 The young wife of the steel magnate was radiantly pretty in a smart after noon gown of white lace. cut princess, and picture hat which any woman, no matter how critical, would be compelled | to pronounce dream" It was dis | tinctly Parsian creation, one of the new shapes of extreme size, trimmed in brown and old rose shades. The braid was of brown, and the long, sweeping ostrick plume, gracefully curled under the brim was of a rich rose color.
 Mrs. Corey was just going for a spin l in her motor car when I called, but she | graciously consented to chat awhile with me. I told her at once my mission, and frankly confessed I had come to find out just what she had to say about the rumors that picture her husband and her self as ardent seekers for social recog- nition.
 Ut Is said" I remarked, that you and MT. Corey have been house hunting in Lennox, and that you propose to take a place there, and take an active part in the social life."
 Mrs. Corey raised her delicate brows and smiled. She possesses a mouth which one would be justified in describing as rosebud" It looks most attractive when she smiles. 'Lennox! Why. no. we have no such intention" she declared. We have been in Lennox, but we don't intend to take house there. You see, we have adopted what we consider a very interesting way | of dividing our time between New York and the country. We make this our home, but every week we take a trip l out of town to some resort. One week we went to Lennox, another week we did Atlantic City. and so on. Oh, it is very delightful We both like the plan and shall contiue to pursue it."
 And you intend to remain in New York all winter?"
 "Oh, yes, that is our plan. I am fond of New York. I should prefer to live here. Of course, just at present, it is fearfully hot but we have our weekend of country life, so we are quite satisfied ?
 My music? Why. ldve it. I am ah- sorbed in it," she said, with enthusiasm, when l reverted to that topic. q am a steady worker, too. I practice two hours regularly every day"
 I could see the dominant note of her life interests had been touched.
 
 society. then?'
 She lifted her chin very positively and her brown eyes had a new light.
 "Oh, so much morel" she replied. Nothing could be as interesting to me as my art"
 You would not care, then, to live a butterfly life-to follow the trivial pur- suits most society women delight in?'
 Never" she responded, emphaticaliy, yet with dignity. Life holds more impor- tant things
 Mrs. Corey, what have you to say in reply to the report that you and Mir. Corey have been snubbed by society? I know you have something to say-what is it?"
 The young woman was silent, gazing straight ahead very thoughtfully for d moment. Then she replied: All can say is that we do not care in the least about such reports. do not wish personally, to discuss them. I am sure Mir. Corey would not care to have me do it. He is abso-
