Mrs. Vanderbilt appealed that the New York Court order, "con- demning" her child to spend five days cach week with her aunt, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, and only the week-ends with her mother, was "unprecedented and. extraordinary."

She held that the child was lead- ing a most abnormal fe

The New York Courts have already refused three times to give the sole custody of the child to Mrs. Vander- bile.
