WIVES ALSO In ATTENDANCE

President Wilson, his Cabinet officers,
their wives, and a few White House
guests forgot all about troublesome poll
tics, the Mexican situation, and kindred
worries for a few short hours last night
and made merry at a dinner at the New
Willard in the first "love feast of the
administration.
Gaping the climax OF the gay winter
of brilliant social events, the dinner had
far-reaching political significance and
also marked the first anniversary Of that
day, a year ago yesterday. when Presi-
dent Wilson first called his Cabinet Off
GERS about him to discuss matters of
import to the nation.
The dinner also partook of the char
acter of a personal tribute of esteem tC

of official advisers. Mrs. Wilson's alb

was the only mar upon the festivity.

Heights. and presented to the American
Fine Arts Society of New York the room
known as the Vanderbilt gallery. He
contributed literally to art and education
and several of the galleries in the Metro
politan Museum of New York are filled
with his donations.
One of Mr.. Vanderbilt's chief pleasures
was TO give aid TO struggling artists
There are scores of successful painters
who today owe their success to the aid
given them by Mr.. Vanderbilt in their
early years. Mr.. Vanderbilt was one
of the few members Of his family whu
showed comparatively little talent fol
business. For the last twenty years he
had devoted himself almost entirely &c
outdoor life and mis- artistic interests.
Built Up BiItmore.
To indulge his love for the outdoors,
Mr.. Vanderbilt bought 10000 acres of
the best mountain country in the South
on the French Broad River near Ashe-
vile, n. c.. and began its development.
He personally took charge of the i'm
provement Of the property and his sue
the name of the most magnificent coun-
try estate in the United States.
He laid out a vast park. notable for
its blend of natural and artificial scenic
beauties and the center erected an
elaborate chate~I OF the beautiful French
renaissance design. He built stables and
stocked the preserve and spent most of
his days in the open superintending the
perfecting of the work. He spent most
OF his winters at Biltmore and generally
went to Bar Harbor during summer. His
recent removal to Washington was neces-
STATED by his illne-s He considered II
necessary to be within quick reach of

MIR. Vanderbilt was a member of a
long list of the best clubs. but clubdom
to him generally was boring. So many
conflicting estimates OF his wealth have
been made that in recent years estima-
tCrs have contented themselves merely
with calling him a millionaire"
