for using the motor IN tandem Is togrt

New York, Jan. 29.-For the last six
years each fresh flock of debutantes who
shook out their tulle skirts and practiced
their infantile smiles received first q
mothers blessing and this benediction:
BE discreet, my dear; never throw away
fine opportunities, but remember Jack
Astor is heir to the finest diamonds, the
biggest fortune and the noblest name in
America" So for half dozen long win
ter seasons in New York and half dozen
long summer seasons at Newport this I'M
coroneted American prince has boldly
kicked up his youthful heels, danced,
laughed and fiirted unfortunately in
the face of q danger from which few men
can retreat without scars. The seventh
season of this reckless behavior, lodging
of carefully laid traps and evading of art
full wiles, the priceless fish has been
landed, and not by a New York girl
either. Hence our deep grief and morti-
fication.
A fair Philadelphia, a maid with
peachy cheeks and blonde hair, guileless
girl with clever mother, is about to be-
come Mrs. John Jacob Aston, jr., and it
is reported on very good authority that
she by no means appreciates the grandeur
and glory of the new name and title.
Fairly and suuarely young Astor fell in
love last summer with little Miss Willing;
he courted her long and with old
mother is apt to approve of any thing her
son desires to possess or accomplish she
lent her efforts to his in the petition for
the young woman's hand.
Early in February the knot will be tied
hard and fast and any day one may care
to look upon the TRANSPORTED countenance
Of the bridegroom-e 1t will be only
necessary to trip up the Avenue as far as
Thirty-second street and peep into that
home Of Anglomama--the knickerbocker
Club. There, since young Aston has been
led the fashions and frolics. There he
has imbibed small beer and dissipated on
cigarettes and the national game, and
there he stands for awhile in the big,
open-shuttered window every afternoon
surrounded by the young fry of his set.
Other times, early in the morning, he
drives his fiance in black and tan tan
dem turnout in the park, and then he is
seen at his best. For young Aston is
with genius in any degree. In fact, he
never. went through college or gained
high degrees even in the sporting world.
But he is tall, lean, amiable young fel.
low, good-natured and able to support the
social dignity of his family.
Higher than this he may never be ex-
pected to go and never need for that mat
Ter. His brilliant grandparents made the
great fortune, his clever father added to
Il, and with commendable foresight he
invested the millions as he made them
in real estate. Block after block of prop
erty, built up in business houses and pri
vate homes, is owned by this family in
all the most valuable parts of Manhattan
island. In whichever way the city grow:
there the Astors own the lots and or
them they erect tremendous apartment
that bring in Einsly income come every WMy yesl
and no risks.
