Some of The Vanderbilts.

Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt walks aver in a lane of bowing heads. To be lure she stands for a fortune of a hunIred millions, with millions and millions more-in the family behind her, ind her name is wonderfully potential. But above and beyond all this she is ;harming personally. See her moving there, among her guests on the lawn, with a cordial greeting for every one. She is small of figure, though dignified withal. She is dark, with deep dark syes, and her countenance is full of expression. She dresses charmingly. Beyond is her sister-in-law, Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt She is taller and heavier, and is dark, too. She dresses rather more splendidly than Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. Among her jewels is a necklace of magnificent diamonds strung like beads. A similar necklace was among the wedding presents of the Princess Louise of Wales, but neither royalty nor American billionairesses can buy such baubles recklessly, for the waste incurred in simply boring the solitaires so as to string them represents a handsome fortune. —A Newport Letter.
