Women Tomorrow
Run the Biltm0re,
to Aid a Charity
Society to Conduct Hotel for
a Day in Tuberculosis
Fight.

Tomorrow is the day that introduces
something new into the hotel business.
NJ. Jacques Bowman of the Biitmore
said yesterday that so many things
have happened in the past dozen years
or so that he didn't believe anybody
could put anything new into the busi-
ness. but that he was looking forward
to tomorrow with great interest. The
women OF society take over the big
Biltmore from cellar to roof-garden and
will run 1t as a hotel should be run,
they say. II M. Bowman wants to
pick up few good ideas about con-
Quoting modern hotel let him stick
around from early morn to dewy eve.
or words to that effect.
The big idea is that the Society for
the Prevention and Relief of Tubercu-
losis. Of which Miss Ruth Vanderbilt
Twombly is president. Mrs. James A.
Burden, vice-president. and Mrs. Cor
nelius N. Bliss, Jr., treasurer. intends
to administer the Biltmore and all Of
it's multifar,ous activities tomorrow,
and that the profits of their days ad-
venture in innkeeping will go. through
Mr. Bowman's handsome cooperation.
to the society celebrated for benevolent
effort.
In addition to members of the organi-
cation, including Mrs. Herman NJ.
Biggs. Mrs. Ned Arden Flood. Mrs.
Frank Gray Griswold. Mrs. Charles H.

bilt I'd. Miss Edith Wctmore and Mrs.
L. Stuart Wing, society generally has
throwni itself into the project. and will
contribute hundreds OF matrons and
debutantes for the details of hotel work
that the women have made themselves
responsible for. These details comprise
about everything except running the en-
gine and fire rooms and handling GER
tain special machinery that requires
technical knowledge.
AS a matter of fact If you go to the
Biltmore to-morrow-and more people
are expected to go to the Biltmors to-
morrow than on any day since the hotel
opened-you will be greeted by a woman
clerk. whose face may ne oddly familiar
to you and yet whom you probably cam
not place for the moment. who will
hand you pen and who will register
you; by woman bellgirl who will
escort you to elevator and room; by an
elevator girl who will lift you skyward
py hall captain who will take your
signature and eye you sharply-and so
all along the line of hotel activities.
Cigar. flower and candy stands Will be
presided over by the most charming
debutantes in the New York garden of
society. and not thing to be purchased
is obtainable elsewhere than from the
hands of woman.

After they had embraced Mr.. McCor-
mick turned around to the small army

with the exclamation: Il told you she
was a little wonder"
Mathilde, speaking with a mixed Ital-
ian German accent. told her father that
she had been lonely-very, very lonely,
here.
IL have knitted" she said. using the
sraccato sentence of a foreigner. To

How long will stay here now?" she
repeated a question.
"As long as I can stand It," she spoke
ruefully. and refused to explain whether
Il was the climate. the city or opposi-
tor to her romance that was to be
stood"
VIII Keep Her. Says Father.
Mr. Mccormick. however, when ques-
tIoned apart stated emphatically that
Mss Ma.hilde will not return to Switz-
crland.
'She Is here now; we will keep her."
Re said. Unless she positively Iefuses
tc stay"
A statement on the talked of engage
ment, however, was not forthcoming.
1T is delicate question" Mr.. Nc
Cormick said. 1T must not be hurried
into. will take ample time 20 talk 1t
ever with Mathilde. l might say some
thing later.
Into the problem. however. tie fact
was left paramount that John d. Rock
efeller is opposed to international mar
riages unless both parties desert Eu-
rope for America.
Miss Muf1e Mccormick. the elder
da lighter. is supposed to be he. sisters
most resolute opponent. While other
members of the family have taken a
somewhat excited view OF the romance.
Muriel is said to have ridiculed the pro-
posed marriage, saying. "Sho's alto
gether too young to think about mar
rage
And that is the opinion that Miss
Mathilde fears her sister holds. The
only hint of her feelings that was per-
mitted to come from the Cyrus II. Nc
Cormick home, where the young heiress
Is visiting was that she hoped Muriel
was not coming with her father. Miss
Muriel decided to stay in New York a
few days longer at the request Of her
father.

Special Dispatch to THE New Yonk HERALD

Special Dispatch 10 THE New YoRK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Feb. 18.-Mr. Harold f.. Nc
Cormick came hurrying to his home in
Chicago from New York to-day to face
the crisis brought on by the decision
OF his seventeen year old daughter, Ma
thilde Mccormick and granddaughter
of John d. Rockefeller, to marry Max
Oser. forty-nine year old Swiss rid
ing master.
He jumped from the Wolverine lin
tied at the Forty-third street station and
in a closed. car went dashing away to
the family home at 675 Rush street
where Mathilde is staying. He alighted
at the outlying station in order to avoid
the small army OF reporters and pho
tographars which waited at the Park
Row station.
ANY announcement will come from
my daughter" he said. There will be
nothing to say until / have talked to
her."
He laughed as he added:
II don't know how much authority
fathers have nowadays. OF course,
though. they have different ideas about
such things"
Mr. Mccormick admitted that the de-
velopment of the romance had taken
him by surprise. but attributed it to
the disposition of his daughter.
Have you met herr" he asked inter-
viewers.
When told that Mathilde remained in
seclusion, he smiled and said
Miss Mccormick Talks.
She's a wonderful girl"
At the Rush street home .Mathilde
posed for photograph after the
cheated battalion OF newspaper men had
arrived. She smiled as she stood beside
her father In front of the clicking
cameras.
"Do look happy enough?' she asked.
Remember" her father said. that
this Is supposed to be a serious matter"
After the photographing reporters and
camera men were invited inside to tea.
Mathilde herself poured and was as
much at ease as any one could have
been. She chatted serenely about Switz-
erland and Chicago.
II dop't like 1t here at ALL" she adj
nitted. II managed to stand a couple
OF months of 1t last winter. but then
had to run back to Switzerland. This
year I mustered up courage enough to
come back, but 1t will not be for long"
