MRS. VANDERBILT WTHDRAWS
Retires to Quiet New England VIII
lnRe to Hide sorrow and
disappointment.

Through New York friends Of Elsie
French Vanderbilt visiting Boston, it was
revealed the other night that the young
woman has withdrawn from society since
getting her divorce from Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt. and that. hiding her sorrow
among New Hampshire hills, she would
be seen no more In New York or Newport.
1t at first was understood when Mrs. Van
derbilt a few days ego bought an old
house in Chester, n. H., that she wanted
the place as a summer home.
Her friends said she would live there
the year round and that she would
visit the metropolis only for shop
ping and to see her relatives. 1t was her
intention. they explained, to make her
self a recluse. She was bitterly disap-
pointed with life and was resolved not to
be married again. Her belief was that
since the man she had known from child
hood had proved false to her. none other
was to be trusted.
Mrs. Vanderbilt. with Amos Tuck
French, her brother, recently went by auto
to Chester, six miles from Derry, and after
a hasty look over the town bought the
Tempson dwelling, standing back among
the trees, in the principal street. I'M
mediately following the purchase of the
property a force of carpenters and masons
was set to work remodeling and putting on
an immense addition to the house. The
building rapidly is progressing toward a
specimen of revolutionary construction.

Together with the purchase Of this prop
erty and several acres of land, a farm
house, buildings, and land also were bought
farther UP the main street, where is to be
the living quarters of the servants and the
gardener of the estate.

There was an old fisherman in This citv

and that the packers as a whole will be
raised $4,000 to 100000, and the statutory
limitation of the city expenditures can not
much exceed $4,000. It follows that instead
of raising the rate Of the levy, as has been

to be a reduction Of the rate below s mills.
