YLADYS, YOUNGEST DAUGHTER
Of mrs. VANDERBILT.
When She Became of Age Last Sum-

Goes With Bride to Count ~Szeehenyi
He Has Fortune AIso-Grand Ar
ray of Wedding Gifts.

New York, Jan. 2S.-In the famous
Vanderbilt mansion at Fifth avenue
and F~ifty-seventh street at noon Mon
day Miss Gladys, youngest daughter
of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, cousin
of the duchess Of Marlborough and one
Of the richest of American ~heiresses,
became the bride of Count Laszio Jeno
Maria Henrik Simon Szeohenyi; a
young Hungarian noble of ancient line
age and comfortable fortune. His home
is in Ormucs, Hungary. Last summer
Miss Vanderbilt became OF age, and
under the provisions Of her fathers
will entered into possession of her
share of his great fortune, estimated
at from $12, 000, 900 to $4,000, 000.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed by Mgr. Lavells, rector of ST.
Patrick's cathedral, and the brides at
PENDANTS will be Miss Ruth Vanderbilt
Twombly and Miss Dorothy Whitney.
Count Anton Sigray, who recently ar
rived here with Count Tionys and his
wife, and Count Paul Esterhazy will
be the best men. One of the brides
brothers gave his sister in marriage.
After the ceremony a breakfast will
be served, to which some $50 invita-
tons have been issued.
The Vanderbilt home has been SUI
perbly arranged and decorated for the
occasion and one of the features of the
ceremony was the music by an orches-
ira of 60 pieces.
The guests entered at 2 West Fifty
eighth street, that side Of the house
being admirably supplied with retiring
room large enough for several hundred
people to deposit their wraps in. 1t
was, however, not a large wedding,
as such things go in New York. Mrs.
Vanderbilt having kept her list down
considerably, sending out for the cere-
mony and breakfast only, there being
no extra Invitations for a reception.
Gladys Moore Vanderbilt is Il years
old. She is the daughter OF Cornelius
was born at Newport, r. 1.
The Vanderbilt town house, in which
the wedding took place, is one of the
show places Of the metropolis. 1t is in
Fifth avenue. occupying the entire
block between Fifty-seventh and Fifty
eighth streets. Since the death OF Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, who built it, the
house has seemed to the outsider to be
closed most of the time. This is not
true, however, as Mrs. Vanderbilt
opens it quite often for some elaborate
affair or other.
The original Vanderbilt house-the
house in which the old commodore
liVsd-is on Staten island. 1t. is a pic
turesqus place, within a short distance
Of the ocean.
1t is presumed that the count and
countess will spend the most of their
time at the formers home in Hungary,
Castle Oermexoe.
The wedding gifts are said to ex-
seed 81 900 in value and are guard
ed day and night by detectives and
special police arrangements have been
made to handle the curious throngs
which usually gather on such oeca-
sions.
The young couple left Monday after
noon for Newport, where Mrs. Wander
bits home, THE Breakers" has been
prepared for them. There they will re-
main until February 4, when they will
sail for Europe.
