Tomorrow is Alfred G. Vanderbilfs birthday. He Is thirty-five years of age. This fact, of more or less general Interest, Is very significant to Mr. Vanderbilt himself because it is the day on which, according to his father's will, he comes into full possession of the vast fortune which was left to him. That is to say, twenty-five million dollars. This, in addition to the twenty-five million dollars he received on attaining his 30th year, puts Mr. Vanderbilt in the ranks of the superdreadnoughts of American finance. While the sum of Mr. Vanderbilfs fortune is 'set down at fifty million dollars, it is believed by those who have made a study of America's great private fortunes that the holdings of young Mr. Vanderbilt will exceed that amount by several million dollars. This accretion has come in spite of his prodigal expenditures both in this country and abroad. Alfred G. Vanderbilt is now the master of the wealth lott by his father for the reason that his elder brother, Cornelius, lost favor with his father a few years before the latter's death. Had this not occurred, the great fortune would now be divided equally between the two brothers. The breach between Cornelius Vanderbilt and his father was never healed although members of the family and close friends did all in their power to dissipate the elder Vanderbilfs anger against his son. As a consequence, Cornelius was cut off with the comparatively meagre sum of one million, five hundred thousand dollars, but it Is believed, in fact generally understood, that the "disinherited" son has not been obliged to worry along on his slim inheritance; that both his brother Alfred and his mother have contributed out of their patrimonies to his purse to the extent of ten or twelve million dollars. While Alfred G. Vanderbilt becomes one of America's wealthiest citizens, it is not generally believed that it will have any special or direct effect upon American finance so far as active commerce is concerned. This young millionaire seems never to have had much fancy for business or the manipulation of finance that involves any greater intricacies than the process of maintaining blooded horses and elegant apartments in New York, London and Paris, F.1R3.

This has been his habit for years and it is not to be expected therefore that he will drop these diversions which he so dearly loves, to enter into a business career for which he has no taste. Of late years, Mr. Vanderbilt has spent most of his time abroad. He favors Europe as a playground more than he does his native country. His passion for coaching found an outlet a few years ago when he establishedJ the old coach line between London and Brighton, and he soon became a very familiar figure in the English metropolis sitting on the box of his coach speeding with his fashionable passengers on the way to Brighton. As President of the New York Horse Show, Mr. Vanderbilt takes ranks as the foremost society horseman of America, and in the circle of those who go in for such things, he enjoys great popularity. ! While his social position and wealth ' gives him a place in the inner temple j of society, he has never shown a great i taste for the conventional functions j of Fifth avenue and Newport nor Lon-' don's west end. However, society has always watched his movements with keen interest, and it is not overstating the case to say that he has given society many a piquant theme for drawing-room dis-: cussion. Mr. Vanderbilt has- "been married twice. His present wife was the divorced wife of Dr. Smith Hollins McKim, of Baltimore. She is the daughter of Captain Isaac E. Emerson, .of Baltimore, and Mrs. C. Hazeltine Bass hor. The present Mrs. Vanderbilt obtained a divorce from Dr. McKim at Reno, Nevada, in 1910, and was married to . Mr. Vanderbilt in England the following year. The romance of Mr. Vanderbilt and the beautiful Mrs. McKim is said to date from 1908. During the ! horse show of that year the young mil-1 lionaire first met the brilliant and : vivacious Baltimore belle, and at once fell captive to her charms. At that j time he was married to Mrs. Elsie ' French Vanderbilt, daughter of Mrs. I Frances Osmonde French, of New j York. His first marriage took place j in 1901, and in 1908, his wife, who was j rich in her own right, obtained a di-; vorce in New York. In granting the decree, the courts gave to Mrs. Vanderbilt the custody of her son, together with the privilege of marrying again. This son, William Henry, has always been a great favorite with his father. Although he has remained with his mother ever since his parents separated, he received from his father a settlement of $1,500,000 which is being held in trust for him by his mother. But aside from this princely sum, Mr. Vanderbilt has always taken great delight in showering' presents, large checks, and other things upon "Willie" as a mark of his love for his young offspring. Until recently this boy was his fathto the second Mrs. Vanderbilt, in Eng- i land, last September, has caused no little speculation among the friends concerned as to what share the older boy will now receive. "Willie" is a sturdy little fellow, now eleven years of age, and while he is passionately devoted to his mother, has always evinced a like affection for his father, and he has never been able to understand why his parents do not live together, and many are the perplexing questions on that score that his mother has had to answer with what tact she could. Mr. Vanderbilt seems never to have been lacking for women admirers. Throughout his picturesque career, the names of many women have been coupled with his; women high in so RETURN ENCAGEMENT JOS. M.

ciety and others who seem to have had nothing more than beauty, and love of horses, with which to appeal to the young millionaire. Just a lew years ago, the name of Mary Agnes O'Brien Ruiz was often linked with that of Mr. Vanderbilt in the gossip of society. Mme. Ruiz was a woman of most striking beauty, whose father was a St. Louis Boilermaker. She frequently sat on the box with Mr. Vanderbilt in his coaching parties and it was no secret that she was greatly admired by the young millionaire. Then came the tragic suicide of Mme. Ruiz, in London, in 1903. One of the unique features in the married life of Mr. Vanderbilt and his present wife, according to reports, is a written understanding between them which they call a pre-divorce agreement. The young couple recognizing the fact that the divorce court has played a large part in both their lives, subjecting them as a consequence to much annoying newspaper publicity, have attempted to escape this undesirable notoriety in the event of a separation between them. According to this written stipulation Mr. Vanderbilt claims the right to travel as he pleases without any interference, and in her turn, Mrs. Vanderbilt must be allowed to spend as much time in Paris as she wishes without question from her husband. It is agreed between them that neither her visits to Paris nor his journey into the unknown are to be considered as grounds for unhappiness. Of course it is understood between them that they are to do all they can to avoid any divorce complications. Moreover in the event of a divorce under no conditions is Mrs. Vanderbilt to talk to newspaper people or give out any information about herself, or her husband. And Mr. Vanderbilt is not to talk to any newspaper people on any subject but horses. As long as they live happily together Mrs. Vanderbilfs personal allowance will approximate $100,000 a year. Mr. Vanderbilt is to pay all house and stable maintainanee. In the event of divorce if Mr. Vanderbilt is at fault, he is to settle $3,000,000 on his wife. Each girl child is to receive $1,000,000 and each boy $3,000,000. It is further stipulated that each child shall spend six months with each parent no matter what the causes of the separation. In case of a son, his entire education is to be arranged by the father. If a divorce is secured, and Mrs. Vanderbilt is at fault, she is to receive an allowance of $1,000 annually and he is to pay all expenses of the children and arrange for their education. That Mr. Vanderbilt and his young wife have taken these precautions is no doubt due to the fact, as stated before, that many members of their immediate family, as well as themselves, have gone through the divorce mill. On Mrs. McKim's side, her sister, Mrs. Jack Horner, divorced her husband and married Mr. James McVickar. Then her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Emerson, were divorced and each has since married again. On Mr. Vanderbilfs side, he himself was divorced by his first wife, Elsie French Vanderbilt; his uncle William K. Vanderbilt, was divorced; his wife later marring Oliver H. P. Belmont. His cousins, Willie K. Vanderbilt and the Duchess of Marlborough, are separated from their domestic partners. The Supply Held Out.

No play produced in recent seasons has received the stamp of unqualified approval with the convincing certainty that is evidenced in the applause and appreciation of amusement seeker as they view the unfolding of the story that is woven around J. Rufus Wallingford's promotion of shady financial deals. The methods he pursues and the avidity of the gullible, yet hard to convince speculators, who. while they would like to get something like seventy five percent returns on their investments, yet hesitate to take a chance, is the story of many men of today who seek to acquire wealth by a surreptitious route.
