William Henry Vanderbilt, the

has entered it as a file clerk with
a salary Of $1,000 a year.
He is six feet tall and has
light hair and blue eyes. He likes
the social life, but hates the lime

considering travel as much an
education as any college course.
He was twenty-one years old
on November "a and staged quite
a birthday party to celebrate the
event.
And he received 100000 and
accumulations from the estate of
