Hamilton takes no account or the fa1ita-
ton % birds and the trickeTy which is
p-acFice1 by professional whistiers: her
art Is concerned with music IN its legiii-
mate sense. What she has already ac-
conpiiShei gives reason 70 believe that
her ambitions are founded upon something
stronger than fancy.
TIE quality which Is most likely 10 be
found lacking in the vhfs-iet note Is SYM
patty. and Miss Hamilton recognizes this
deficiency. She IS Inclined 70 place the
synpathe;tc force OF the whtstisd tone
somewhere between the effects evolved
from the string instruments and that
which comes from wind instruments. She
says that IN so far as whtstling advances
IN purity OF tone, technical skill. and free
dom Il approaches the beauty OF the
strings. although she Acknowledges its
limitations.
The greatest obstacle which Is 70 he
overcome in the study q whisfling. &C
cording 10 Miss Hamilton. IS that Il must
be pursued without the aid or establish
ed methods. When she first entered upon
her studies in the West she received In
struction through the medium or the mute.
but such study could never rise ABOVE
direct imitation. Realizing that with the
exception Of the vocal chords whistltng
results from the exercise of the same or
gans necessary TO singing. she nnaLly
adopted vocal instruction, although she Is
not a singer. She singles out parasIng.
breathing and technique and applies them
in another direction. Several hours pFac-
tice each day has rendered her techmcal
skill equal 10 that with which the piccolo
can be played. and the consequent train
ing OF the ear has developed 10 an unas-
ual degree the purity Of tone.
There IS a beauty In Miss Hamilton
whistling which IS lacking in many pro-
fessionai performers The tone is soft
and bird-like and peculiarly pure in quail
". The sustained note. which Is always
attained with difficulty, IS true and con-
tains no trace OF the treTulo or vibrato.
Constant practice has enabled her TO give
the tone the subtle shadings which be-
long TO vocal music. and TO bring within
the range Of her abilities the works or
the great composers.
Yet Miss Hamilton does not feel that
she has mastered the gift which she Is
attempting 10 make artistic. on the con-
trary she says that she has only just be-

Mrs. William Astor. had died in Lon
don, where her husband was secretary
of the American Legation. she was

little children, neither OF them strong

Mrs. Marshall 0rme Wilson was Carrie
Astor, the youngest of the girls. She
is very happily married, and lives near
her mother on Fifth avenue. Mrs. j.
Coleman Drayton, the third daughter,
was Charlotte Augusta Aston. She
was named for her aunt, Mrs.

a great favorite in the family and In

In case any outs ider wishes to place
bet on any Of the events which are
attracting public interest he goes 20 one
of these members, or commissioners,
just as the "Iamb" goes TO the Wall
street broker, with instructions to buy
or sell certain stocks, and indicates the
horse be wishes to back and the odds
which he is willing to lay. Sometimes
the commissioner is given considerable o
di secretion in the matter Of odds, and
sometimes, too, with reference to the
horses to be backed but, rs rule, his
instructions are quite definite.
ii the outsider should happen to be n
well-known man of ample means and
recognized promptness in meeting his
obligations, IL may be that the commits
sioner will not require the cash from
him in advance, but this is the general
condition. After the race has been run

this rich family, in the flush OF sweet
young womanhood, and like all the
rest, across the seas in a strange land,
has passed through the gates beautiful
into the city Of rest.
MRS. W. W. Aston.
Mrs. William Waldorf Aston was beau
tiiul Mary Paul, of Philadelphia. She
was great fsvorite in New York
society, and it was always a
matter OF regret that after his
fathers death William Waldorf
Aston elected TO live in England. She
was devoted mother to her four chill
dreD, Waldorf, a fine manly little lad
now in his teens; the daughter Pauline,
whose name is the feminine OF her moth
er's maiden name; John Jacob Aston the
fourth, and the little tiny baby not yet
a year old.
She was never strong after the birth
of the little one, but il is said that lone
illness and homesickness were the real
maladies which caused her death, and
that not all of the pomp and splendor
of her London residence, Landsdowne
House, Berkely square, and her
country estate, Cliveden, Maiden
head, could compensate for the friends
and relatives she had left behind her in
the States. But she is coming home
now to the land she loved so well to rest
10 the little spot of earth in beautiful
old Trinity churchyard, where so many
generations Of Astors lie side by side.
And the thought uppermost In Mrs.
William Astor'S heart to-day, as she
sits n her magnificent home, surround
ed by all that wealth and culture can
suggest or devise, is what new sorrow
may meet her on the threshold of an
other day.
