out driving. Not pleasant day goes

of them, men, women and children, to
ride with him In automobile or car
| riage, and it is safe to say that the in
! vitations are seldom declined, for his
vehicles are the best to be had, and
the drives around Tarrytown are beau
tiful. Mr.. Rockefeller, before starting

claring it a great protection against
| colds, and he insists that his guests do
the same. After the ride he refuses
to take back the garments, and conse-
quently In nearly every home in larry
town may be found paper vest pre-
served as souvenir of a delightful
ride with the multi-millionaire.
