A VENUE A-er. beg pardon.
IA Sutton place. has reused
4 u from the gloom in which it
has submerged for almost, year
and is again in the throes of hap
piness. Cause: Mrs. William X.
Vanderbilt is once again domiciled
on the banks Of the East River.
After passing nearly six months
In her beloved Normandy. Mrs.
Vanderbilt became homesick for
the land of her birth. With Mrs.
Vanderbilt to think is to act, and
In less time than It takes to tell the
tale she engaged passage on a
homeward bound steamer and
quietly landed on these shores last
week, taking immediate possession
OF her house on Sutton place.
Mrs. Vanderbilt. hear. is far
from displeased at the sudden mar
riage of her daughter, Mrs. Ruther-
ford Mills, and Sir Paul Dwyer.
When word of the Nyac marriage
was received here several weeks ago,
after having been predicted several
tins in this column, there was no
end of speculation. How would
Mrs. Vanderbilt receive the news?
How would she greet the newly.
weds," etc.? The gossips insisted
the former Miss Hartman would
be greatly incensed at her daugh-
ter's second matrimonial alliance.
Ann Vanderbilt, however, put to
rest all speculations as to her feel
inRs, and before she embarked for
this country she entertained, at her
picturesque villa, near Deauville,
the one-time Mrs. Ogden Livingston
Mills and her newly annexed life
helpmate.
During the coming sason Mrs.
Vanderbilt will take only a mild
interest in the activities of Vanity
Fair. Sad to relate, Ann no longer
cares about the clashing Of the
social cymbals; she Is rarely seen
about in society or at the opera,
and her occasional dinner parties
are small. informal events, attend
cd by only close friends OF many
years standing. How different from
the oiden days when, as the wife
OF the late william X. Vanderbilt.
she was q prominent figure in the
''tinsel set"
Since Mr.. vanderbilt's death Mrs.
Vanderbilt has taken only an in.
conspicuous part in society and
she no longer dons the famous
Vanderbilt jewels--jewels which
caused the great unwashed 70 gasp
in establishment when Mrs. Wander.
bilt appeared In public ablase with
sparklers.

THE PRINCIPAL at any annual
interest period.
As q rule farmers do not care

long term mortage without the
privilege of repaying the entire
loan in a reasonable Length of
time. Many sales have been
prevented because the borrowers
have been unable to ATTAIN a re-
ease of the mortage before
maturity without the payment of
Q HEAVY BONUS. Under the
option in our mortage papers
THE BORROWER CAN RE-
PAY THE ENTIRE LOAN, OR
ANY PORTION OF 1T, AT ANY
INTEREST PERIOD if he de-
sires to do so.
The rartial payment privilege,
and long time, make this con.

The book Is written In = very iabori-

Plant Care.

The room In which palms and gera-
NUNS are kept should not be allowed
to get cooler than 10 or As degrees.
The palm should be placed in part
ly shaded spot: but never where 1t may
come in contact with gas or cold
draughts. It should never be placed
In the direct rays Of the sun. The
leaves should occasionally be sponged
with f1shoil soap and warm water 1t
should not be too well watered, and
perfect drainage is necessary to sue
cessful culture. The geranium requires
plenty Of sunlight and its roots should
be kept moist. 1t should be sprayed
with tepId water occasionally to keep
the foliage bright and green and pre-
vent dust from lodging on the leaves.

TrIeklne Fate.

Every Hindoo must have q son to
perform the proper rites In his behalf
SO that he mny be released from pur
gatory after death. says Asia Maya
Zine. Especially cursed, therefore. is
he whose fate 1t Is to be sonless. One
such. Brahmin. propitiated the god
vishu and obtained boon. He asked
for a son. but, since son was not In
the mans fate. Vishu refused. Twice
this happened. but the third time the
Brahmin asked that his merrlments
might be shared by gods and men
alike. This was granted. He then
went home, locked his door and, with
his wife. began to sing and dance.
Thereupon, all the gods and men. by
the terms Of the boon. were compelled
to sing and dance with him, and the
business of the universe was brought
to standstill. "Stop," begged the
gods. "Only when you grant me n
son." answered the BrahmIn. And he
had his way.
