Show Inor Mrs. Vandcrbllt. New Yorkers are getting to be the ' most inveterate and cold blooded starers. I once saw Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, a ' sweet faced and rather pretty woman, come into Steam's to do some shopping. The women about heard who she was nnd they stood around her in a circle and simply feasted their eyes upon every detail of her dress and appearance. They loudly culled each other's attention to her earrings solitaire pearls to the fit of her drefs and the way it hung in the back. They came closer and felt it. They etndied the way she had her hair done np and suggested that it was worth trying when they got home. They stood shoulder to shoulder with heraud learned her hat by heart. She was admirable through it all, pretended she did not see or hear or feel, finally turned around to go, with a blankly absent expression, the cortege thronging around her and escorting escort-ing her, still loudly commenting, to her carriage.
