It Is said that those who build rarely live to occupy auch homes and If they do there are other troubles. 10 ine fact that Sunderland House waa erected by the duchess Is attributed by many the Marlborough domestic differences. This is no doubt the worst kind of nonsense, but tho superstitious point to the fact a an illustration of their theory. J. J. Van Alen has succeeded In carrying out the' threat he made when he took Rush- ton Hall, namely, to be regarded befoio many years as the most Important man In Northamptonshire. He made this announce ment because somo of the county families, who are of the oldest stock In the kingdom. were at first inclined to question before they called on tho American millionaire. Now all these blue-blooded aristocrats have to take a back seat, for the owner of Hush ton Hall carries all before him. The mag nificence of his entertainments, the unique ness of his stud, the generosity of his charity have all been the talk of the county wherein he has succeeded In making him self the most popular man. He employs largely and he pays handsomely. Lavish tCatrrtalanteat at Hoshtoa. Although he Is only renting Rushton, he has spent In Immense fortune upon It, es timated variously at from $230,000 to $750, 000. He has been entertaining there troops of American guests. Including the duke and duchess of Manchester and their children. A whole floor of the house was placed at their disposal, with day and night nurseries for Lord Mandevllle and his brother and sister. The chef at Rushton Is paid $5,000 per annum. Ha Is a negro, who has been trained In Paris and elsewhere, and Is an accomplished chemist as well as a cook. When he was engaged to Mr. Van Alen It was difficult to find white servanta to work with him, so the master Imported several blacks, and seems to have solved the problem. The black chef Is a howling swell and has a suite of rooms to himself and a motor car. He Is devoted to his master and often goes abroad with him, for Mr. Van Alen, who Is fastidious in mat ters appertaining to the table,- has become so accustomed to his cooking that he does not fancy anyone else's. When the Rushton estate was In the mar ket early In the '40s. it was very nearly purchased for the present king, then prince of Wales, but there was an Idea that too much money would have to be spent upon It to make It fit for the requirements of the heir to the throne, who was not then In a position to stand the outlay.

For the last few years, Indeed, ever since th days when she was the very first to Interest Mayfalr in Plato she has become a close student of human nature and literature. She is credited with being very, desirous of un raveling domestic problems and putting things on a new basis with more privileges for women. Those whojtnow her best are deploring the fact that she has of late been taking life so seriously. In England, at all events, it Is not the fashion to be serious and a novel with a purpose la dull reading and even when Its frontis piece Is emblazoned with a ducal coronet does not find readers. This was forcibly shown In the novel written by the duchess of Sutherland, which waa surely the clever est and dullest book Issued for many a day. The first edition was never exhausted. Mrs. Vaaderbllt Feted. Mrs. Elsie French Vanderbllt has been greatly feted on the Continent, notably In Paris, where she stayed on her way south to buy frocks. She has now shaken oft a good deal of the depression which she suffered for a long time after her domestlo trouble. Is looking extremely pretty and is wearing wonderful gowns and Jewels. Suitors by the doxen pursue her, but she says she will not marry again a state ment which Is doubted. She takes every precaution to be chaperoned aa carefully as a young girl, never going anywhere alone. People call her a prude, though the nicer section admit she Is wise to be care ful, for women who divorce their husbands, however Innocent they themselves may be, are always more or less open to remark Speaking to someone lately, Mrs. Vanderbllt remarked: "I have the privileges of a. girl without her restrictions, and the knowledge of a widow, so there is a good deal to be en vied in my position. I never valued free dom as I do now." Mrs. Vanderbllt will spend part of the London season with her sister. Lady Cheylesmore. She Is not likely to run across her late husband, although he will be Jn London at the same time, aa he does not move in the set into which his wlft will be welcomed.

WILL COLLECT RELICS OF AUTHOR Mnsee Balsao to Be Established in Little Cottasje Where He Hid Himself from Creditor ad Worked to Death. PARIS, Feb. 6. (Special.) Celiac's friends are at last bestirring themselves to honor his memory by something more than a statue. Already the house In which the great author died has been swept away to make room for modern requirements. A few years more and the house in which he wrote his finest masterpieces and drank the cup of bitterness to the last dregs, will have followed. This crowning misfortune has been averted, thanks to the Initiative of men like Paul Bourget, Jean Richepln and Maurice Bar rice, who have headed a movement to buy the charming little cot tage at Paasy, where Balzac lived from 1842-8, and to turn it into the Musee Bal sac (Balsao museunt). The Musee Balzac does not yet contain very many souvenirs of the great man, but this la only a matter of time, for be quests are sure to flow in now that there is a placo to receive them. In the author's study are to be seen on the wall quaint colored prints of all the heroes and hero ines whose fortunes he described; a sketch of Balzac by David d'Angers; a plast. r cast of Rodin's famous statuette of him; an original terra cost bust by Marquet de Vasselot (the marble one Is at the Coined ie Francalse); Balzac's Inkpot In the form of a brass padlock; an insurance policy signed by him that Is about all as yet. But under the Intelligent direction of the "conservateur," M. de Royaumont, who Is an enthusiastic Balzaclan, No. 27, Rue Ray. nouard, Is certain to become a literary shrine to which every cultured American visitor In Paris will henceforth make a pilgrimage. Hiding Place for Debtor. It was in the Ver 1S42 that Honore de Balzac, bankrupt, loaded with debts, hunted down by creditors, but still unbroken In spirit, discovered the little "pavilion" in me nut naynouara at rassy, men a mere village. It was an ideal hiding place for a debtor. In the first place It was off the street, the entrance to It being through a house which, fronting on Rue Raynouard, was as valuable as a drawbridge to a. cas tle. This house being Itself on the crest of the. hill, the cottage had been built on a terice laid out on the aide of the hill, some 'fifteen to twenty fet below, so that acceaa from the one to the other waa only possiDio aown a aouDte night of stairs which opened on to a small paved court, on the opposite side of which stood the cot tage in the form of a T square. The long arm of the rectangle facing the paved court waa occupied by the entrance hall. the housekeeper's room, the kitchen and the dining room; the short arm looking 00 to the garden by Balzac's bedroom, the salon, the dressing room and, last of all and farthest away from duns and noise, bis study. There waa. however, on more advantage which the Ideal cottage contained; not the least, doubtless In the master' eye.

House Ha Interesting History. But the ravillon and the house already had their hlHtory before Balzac came there. They had been built in 176S by the famous financier, de Julienne, Who sold the property four years later to M. Dupln (of Jean-Jacques Rousseau fame). Dupln thought It would be an Ideal retreat for his protegee, the beautiful Mile. Huss, of the Comedie Francalse. The next tenant was Mille. Contat, the famous actress who created the role of Suzanne In the "Mar- lage de Figaro," and many a '"fete gal- ante" was held In this little pavilion out side the city gate, while noble and bour geois heads were falling by the hundreds within under the guillotine's sharp steel. Such was the house In which Balzac spent six years of Incessant., prodigious, gigantic toll. Lamartlne calls him "the Walter Hcott of France, not the Waiter Scott of landscapes and adventures, but of characters," and truly there was much that waa similar also In the destiny of the two men. Scott spent the latter years of his life In the tremendous task of clearing off liabilities amounting to over 8300,000. which he regarded In the ligt of a debt of honor; Balzac, ruined by his disastrous ventures as publisher, printer and type founder, retired to Rue Raynouard in the hope of escaping Ills dunning creditors whilst engaged In the hopeless effort to retrlve his fortunes by his pen. Toil of Later Tears. In the silence of his little study overlook ing the garden, with the river at his feet and the wooded heights of Meudon and 9r. Cloud In the distance; wearing the in separable dressing gown of white cash mere, lined with white silk, and the equally Inseparable black velvet skull cap which none but his mother knew how to make for him. Balz.tc tolled eighteen hours a day. feverishly flinging the sheets of paper one after the other on the ground as he covered them with his fine small writing, and sustaining himself with countless cups of coffee. He never slept during the night. Half-a-dozen hours for rest and sleep during the day was all he could spare for nature. Masterpieces such as "Poor Relations," "Cousin Pons," "Cousin Bette," Mercadet," "Vautrin," and half a dosen others 400,000 lines in six years were written In that little study while relentless duns were hammering at the door outside. No human being, not even Balzac with hi massive frame, could stand such a strain. In 1S48 he quitted RUe Raynouard for Russia to marry Mme. Hanske. On his return to Paris two years later he died, worn out at fifty-one. Romaoee spelled by Poverty. It was during Balzac's residence at Passy that ah incident occurred which, if it had buen rightly directed, might have had a lasting Influence on the great novel Ist's career. It was a very romantic ad venture and Is not, 1 think, generally known. At that time the marquis of Hert ford, an eccentric and immensely wealthy English nobleman, had already taken up hi residence in Faris and had Just pur chased the charming property of Baglteile, in the Bols d Boulogne, which at his death passed to Sir Richard Wallace, who, aa ia well known, bequeathed It to the city of Paris.

Seized with an Intense desire to know Balzac, the marquis asked Ills friend, Jules Lacrolx, to arrange a meet ing at the Cafe Anglais, the resort of everyone with a name in letters and on the stage. Jules Lacrolx hastened to his friend Bal zac, but was coldly received. Finally the author had to confess his situation: he could not venture out except at night! It must be remembered that sixty years, ago the law against debtors was terribly se vere and Balzac, by appearing In broad daylight In a frequented spot like tho Cafe Anglais, was running Imminent danger of arrest. He did not stir from his little for tress, refused to see his intimate friends, and even Lacrolx had difficulty In gaining access to him, so well did Mme. de Brlg nole, his devoted housekeeper, keep guard over her master. Refnsrs Offer of Aid. With a crestfallen air, Jules Lacrolx re ported to the marquis the failure of his embassy, and explained the plight In which Balzac was. The marquis of Hertford, however, was not a man to stick at trifles when he had set his mind on attaining his object, and he bluntly demanded the amount of the debtor's liabilities. Lacrolx named the sum. "Well," said the marquis, "tell M. de Balzac that if he will meet me at the Cafe Anglais this day week I will pay his debts." Imsgine the nobleman's rage when on tiie appointed day Jules Lacroix appeared alone! He had made desperate efforts to find Balzac and had even sent him a let ter Imploring him to come to the rendez They Fight for You in Your Blood Science is assured that the white corpuscles ir. the blood, popularly called Little Soldiers1 defend you against infectious and contagious diseases.
