The deer that run wild In Rockland connty about Blauvelt and Nyack and Orangetown are getting bolder and fatter. Many years ago several deer parks were established In that neighborhood. Once In a while some hardy member of the herds escaped and took to the timber. Then came new families of deer, brought up without knowing what a pen meant. Within the last few months tjle county has been overrun In places. On still mornings the deer break from cover and run across the roads. It Is against the luw to shoot them, and the commuters and the farmers suffer many depredations. The antlered thieves help themselves to cabbages and lettuces and rutabagas without stint. They tramp down the zinnias and the dahlias, and riot among the marigolds. At first the N.

NEW By JOHN DICKINSON S AMERICAN SHERMAN 'Society" going Back to the Solir Is there to be a new kind of country life In America T And will the landed aristocracy" of the future be able to make the farm' pay financially? These Interesting questions and others that naturally suggest themselves are raised by Mrs. Edith Stuyvesant Vanderbilt of New York, Bar Harbor and Biltmore when ahe says: I am going to live at Biltmore. Many women In America are tiring of the empty round of mere social affair. Before long we may see a country life In America almllar to that we now see In England. And when this Interest becomes general I can think of no more remarkable country for home existence than America. There would not be so much unrest and unhappl ness If people took a real Interest In life and I know of nothing more In terestlng than developing a herd of too blooded cows to the highest degree of perfection. The Mrs. Vanderbilt who says these things has been described as Americas most Interesting widow." George W. Vanderbilt, who died about ten years ago, was her husband. He was grandson of Commodore Cornelthe founder ias Vanderbilt of the family and the accumulator of the first of Its many millions. George W, was born in 18C2. He didnt have to work for a living and devoted much time to travel and study. Ills name will be remembered in New York city for several benefactions. Whos Who before his death, concluded his autobiography thus : Purchased 100,000 acres of mountain Innd on French Broad river near Asheville, N. C, and laid It out as a vast park ; erected mansion and stables ; stocked this estate and spends much of his time In superintending Its Improvement" Biltmore, one of the finest country estates In the world. Is In the Appalach lun highlands of western North Carolina, . "The Land of the Sky," long famous for Its beauty and climate. The Farm" consists of about C.000 acres on the French Broad. Man was not satisfied with nature; hills were moved, a lake dug and forests planted. The mansion Is modeled after the historic Orleans chateau of Blola, possibly the most beautiful In France. The architecture Is French Renaissance. The banquet hall is 80 by CO celling. A tapestry feet, with a gallery, 75 feet long, contains the finest private collection In the world. This opens onto a library, C2 by 40 feet. In front of the mansion Is a three-acr-e esplanade; from It a ramp leads to the plaxza of the main building. In the case of the marriage It Is understood that the United States gains a citizen Instead of losing an heiress. It Is stated that Mrs. Cecil Inherits under a proviso In her fathers will that she must retain her American citizenship.

It has long been social gossip that there are many suitors for her hand. She married in 1S9S. Her father was Col.

Last spring Mrs. Vanderbilts daughter, Cornelia Stuyvesant Vanderbilt, was married with much pomp and ceremony at Biltmore to Hon. Francis Amherst Cecil, former secretary of the British embassy at Washington. Her mother thereupon departed for a long trip In Europe and It was confidently asserted that upon her return she would yield to some one of her many ' suitors. Well, Mrs. Vanderbilt came back from , Europe (he other day, declared herself to the customs officials as a plain farm woman" and proceeded, for the first time on record, to talk about her personal affairs for publication. And here are some of $he things she said, after Intimating that matrimony had no place in her program : I am having a little house built (or myself on our estate down In North Carolina, and the mansion goes to my daughter and her husband. They are also going to forsake what Is called society life and aid me In operating my dairy. My Biltmore home has been really an Immense dairy farm for some time now. I have ZOO head of blooded cows, and I am going to take a personal Interest In developing these to the highest degree of perfection. In developing my farm, I am not only getting a 1great deal of pleasure out of also feel that I am doing life, but something for my country The life of a "society woman" Is a hard one; it consumes a vast amount of energy. And what does It give in return? Nothing. But dairying brings In a handsome profit, and you see something tangible as a result of your efforts! I have never cared for society. I have always been interested In doing things that I thought amounted to We are born with the something. creative spirit.- and If we dont do something worth while with It, It Is quite apt to become destructive. This writer will not here try to aipwer the questions Valsed, either or indirectly, by Mrs. Vanderbilt Obviously several large volumes would be necessary If the questions can be answered at all. General observations which are naturally suggested would seem to Include these : Most Americans doubtless would think her lacking In common sense If she hod decided for society and against Biltmore especially as she can easily combine the best of both city and country life. She Is wise to build herself a little house"; the mansion Is preposterous as a country home. No doubt the dulry herd can be made a paying Investment; It will not, however, pay This for the upkeep of Biltmore. Lady Bountiful" can of course accomplish wonders for the community.

Biltmore, as an object lesson In making country life pay Its way, la of no practical value; almost anything Is possible with a Vanderbilt Income. And until country life, as Mrs. Vanderbilt conceives It, is made to pay Its way, It to not likely to be the rule of the ' land. The vicinity of all our large cities to dotted with costly country resh dences that only the few can afford to occupy and with "country estates" that none can make pay. These are not the real thing; they are merely the transplantation of city life In the country.

The preacher promptly invited hto petitioner to come to the vestry after service, and be saddled t take him home. no relatives or close friends, and whose money, on deposit In the bank, continues to draw compound Interest. One of the Intricate and perplexing tasks of the attorneys for the banking Institutions has been that of fighting off hordes of people who see their own or similar names In the advertisements and who claim the deposits. One of the Interesting cases In point was the claims made by the heirs of one James Sullivan," a seafaring man, who amassed a tidy savings account in one of the large banks. When the account was advertised there were 142 claims received by the bank for the Blngle account. Not a single one of the claimants was able to prove to the satisfaction of the banks attorneys that he had the shadow of a legal claim to the money amassed by James Sullivan. One of the Interesting cases on the records is that of an account of $21,-51held by the Guaranty Trust company for the account of A. Roux, who was one of the passengers lost on the Titanic.
