New York, Oct. 29.—For the first time since their marriage, which stirred socitly profoundly Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vander bilt, Jr., are about to establish themselves in tho very citadel of the Four Hundred, housed as proudly as any family in New York. | Throughout the season, now at its dawn, the young couple will occupy the lordly establish ment of Mrs. Ogden Goelet, at Fifth avenue and Forty-eighth street. There, with the finest pri vate ballroom in town at their command, they will dispense costly hospitality to their friends. »If is well understood that ten der relations have been re-estab lished between father and son ; but hitherto there has been no evidence of Mrs. Cornelius Van derbilt, Jf., being included ir. the family love feast Shrewd students of the situa tion believe, however, that the invalid head of the house of Vanderbilt has deferred such a manifestation only in order that it may be made more unequivo cal . And the establishment of tbe young couple in the Goelet resi dence will afford an opportuni ty for just the kind of formal recognition foieshadowed by the gossips. Mr. and Mrs. Corneli us Vanderbilt, Jr., will at least be entrenched in a stronghold of the Wilson faction of the Four Hundred—the family of the younger Mrs. Cornelius Van derbilt—with the Astors, the Goe'ets, Wilsons and others as allies. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., has made such a splendid impres sion on his father by taking a place as assistant engineer in the mechanical department of ; the New York Central system, I meaning thus to familiarize himself with the railroad busi ness in ail its branches, that all the talk now is of peace and it is not thought that a social war is about to begin.
