gagemont and Mrs. Vanderbilt uotiong
ago authorized The Herald to deny ru-
mors of it whiobhad been floating about
the city, yet there has been a tacit under
standing that it has exslsted for nearly
ten months
it is altogether likely that the marriage
will be‘ celebrated immediately. in all
probability before the end of the week, at
the home of Mr. Wilson. rm Fifth avenue.
and its celebration will he most quiet.
Miss Grace Wilson, the future Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jr.. has been in so-
ciety several years. and it is umlel'stmd
that the’msln objection to her being mar-
riod to young Vanderbilt. on the part oi
s family, is the dillereuce of their ages,
iss Wilson being nearly eight years the
sealer of her fiance. and the desire of
Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt has been for
their can not to marry so young.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, .lr.. was gradu-
ated from Yale university in the class oi
1mm. lie was very popular in his (lliifll.
obtaining the coveted election to the
Scroll and Key society in his senior year.
He is :22 years old and the second son. his

age. being senior.

Young Vanderbilt’s health has not been
good since his graduation. and be has not
berm out as much in society in ew York
as in Newport. and in place of passing his
first winter in society here he went abroad
in the early part of last winter to join
Miss Wilson. who was with her sister,
Mrs. Ogden l-ioelot. Miss Wilson returned
from Europe only a short time ago, Mrs.
Goclot remaining.

Young Mr. Vanderbilt returned from
Europe last April and soon after entered
his father's otlice in the New York Cen-
tral Railroad conipany's olilees.

First or thr- (:randsons to Marry.

He will be the first grandson of the lair
William ll. Vanderbilt to marry. though
several of the granddaughters have he—
comc brides within the last four or five
years.

Mr. R. T. Wilson has been a resident of
New York since the early seventies, com-
ing here with his family from the south.
He has prospered far beyond the averagt
of rich men. and is today rated as pos-
snsslug many millions of dollars.

,Wiilswchlldrcn have all married most for
tunuteiy. and "the Wilson luck" has lawn
a sort of hywurd in society. His eldest
daughter, Miss May Wilson. was married
almut ‘Jli years ago to Mr. Ogden (toolet,
whose fortune than was only prmpeetlve.
The next marriage of note in the family
omurrcd lzl years ago, when Mr. Wilson's
eldest son. lilr. ()rme Wilson, married
Miss Caroline Astor. youngest daughter
of lilrs. William Astor. A few years later
Miss llello Wilson became the wife of tin
lion. Michael licnry iierhert. son of Lady
Herbert of Lee. at that time second more
taryoi the llrltlsh legetion in Washing
ton. lllr. Herbert's brother succeeded it
the title of the Earl of Pembroke. Mr.
Wilson's youngest see, Mr. ll. ’1‘. Wilson,
.lr.. is unmarried.

iillss ilracoWllson was engaged to hr
married to the lion. Corell listing. Lord

This tougaunruunt was broken Just after

The Wilsonl occupy a prominent pesi
tion in New York and Newimrt society.
They hare spent their summers in New-
port for several years. though formerly
they wrre identified with the summer col.
any in New London.

Young Vanderbilt's attachment for
bliss Wilson was formed in Newport,
where the young persons were thrown
much together, and it was believed by
many who pawn! the summer there last
year that their engagement would be an.

FROM THE RUBAIYAT

They had been talking about Omar
Khayyam’s Rubaiyat Beasts. and Wu-
terford, who had honoree the happy pro-
prietor of this delightful volume has
dam morning in Calais. while waiting
for t a stout little steamship which was
in conveyihirn. after certain tempesitu»
on: hours. to moist. green England,
glanced at the charming profile of the
young lady beside him. with a faint
hope that her pretty silence might be
terminated ' by smoothing clever and
suggestive. ' ,

“i fear you 'will find me rather a dull
person.” he said at last. ”in England.
you know. when they presmxt people
they always make it a biographical oc-
casion. They say. ‘This is Mr. Jones.
Mr. Jones has just been killing somol
thing) I haven‘t been killing anything.
but I have read the Rnbalyat. Do you
know it at all?“ . _

"Oh, yes, I know it very well," re
turned she. breaking off a bit of roll
and looking at him, smiliugly. over her
shoulder. “Indeed, I was thinking that
you are not like the man there-ayou

"hill but it would cease to be it wil-
derness then," said Waterford quickly.
"You'd make it popular.” .

"Oh, yes.” said she. “l’d have them
all. positively everybody. I’m very fond
of company."

He politely replied that under such
circumstances her opportunities for soli-
tude must borers. And as he did so
he said to himself that pictorially, at
least. she was a singularly happy speci—

cate color. her bright freshness, her
even features, her virgins] young? eyes.
her expression of unconscious serenity
that was at once so confident and so in-
nocent, so alert and so pure, made a per-
trait very lovely to look open.

He felt a quick, grateful wish to give
her pleasure. to bestow his best, and he
believed, when the conversation wasln-
terruptcd by what he called that brutal
Saxon interval of drink and smoke, that
it terminated with regret. He hoped
they might renew it. but when the men
rejoined the ladies she was standing in
the -d00rway. with her white cloak
slmnt her shoulders. ' '

"Goodby." he sold. “Must you go so
scent There are ever so many things i
want to talk with youabout. Won't
you say to your mother, please. that I
hope to present myself shortly?"

"Ah, do come!” said she. “Mamma
would be so glad to see you again.
Come Sunday afternoon. We always
see people Sunday afternoon."

0n the succeeding Sunday,Waterfor-d
found opportunity to express his happi—
ness in again meeting Mrs. Thorpe, and
after that pleasant occasion it was roan
taken for granted that he would make
one of the group of young men who ar-
ranged themselves in what he thought
highly irregular attitudes on the draw-
ing-room chairs.

May, and afterapoctle journey through
lands supposed to be in harmony with
recent Wedded bliss. they returned to a
delightful old house in Eleventh street l
and an appreciative circle of friends. .
They were both ridiculously happy, and
both in secret slurred a common terror ,
that such felicity. in a world of sulfer-
ing and transition, must he succeeded
by some vaguely threatening horror.‘
'I‘hey h'ld not yet grasped the richest
fulfilment of companionship thatcomes

Mr. Water-lord's mono-y war invested
in one of those large coinuu i'l'lltl enter-

Waterford was ruined! Everything

They ircd a little list somewhere up-

Christmas eve but come, and Water
‘fardlwas trudging home through the
lights and falling snow, thinking with
a sardonic humor of last year. and the
presents he had bought her. They had
been giving a dinner. and just as she
was going down he had slipped behind
her and had clasped a circlot of. dia
monds around liar neck. He rolnem'
bored with a thrill how she had turned
and smiled at him over her shoulder,
standing there before her glass. bril-
liant, flashing, beautiful. He had no
present for her this Christmas (they had
agreed they were too poor to‘ buy each
other gifts), but as he let himself in,
and she came quickly, happily to meet
him, and put her white young arms
about his neck, and looked up into his
eyes with such a smile as only loan can
point, be bent over her and fastened a
great rose in her hair. "Merry Christ
mas," he said, in rather a choky voice,
and she felt a tear on her forehead.

“And new you must come into the
library,” she said. And putting her
arm about his waist, she pushed aside
the curtain, and there, draping tho
chimney'piece, was one of these pale
silk searfs. along the length of which
was wrought a quaint, curiously em-
broidered pattern.

“i didn't buy it. I made it for you."
she said. "Do you like it‘l” she added,
giving him a queer look. "You are to
