 Husband and wife slowly drifted apart-imperceptibly at first, then manifestly.
 In 1886 Mir. Drayton decided to re- move his wife from the diversions and entertainment of city life. He pur- chased place at Bernardville, N. J. Mrs. Drayton was suddenly taken from the environments to which she had always been accustomed and transplanted to the dreary confines of bucOlic existence. Her husband was away a great deal. She was alone; she was young and longed for diversion and excitement.
 Now loomed upon her horizon shadow no bigger than a mans hand, but destined to grow and assume pro- portions so gigantic as to darken her whole life. The DraytOns had a neigh bor, young, athletic and lively-Hal- lett Alsopp BorrOwe. Young BorroWe came of good family, was a Columbia man, had self-assurance and certain amount of swagger. He and Mrs. Drayton soon became friends. Gossip was rife with their names, and ill-na- tured rumors came to the ears of Mrs. Drayton's husband.

 Young Drayton, unaided by great wealth, extraordinary attractions of face and figure, or fascinating man ners, carried off the richest girl Tn New York society in the very teeth of gal lants in every way better equipped than he for such a contest
 Augusta Astor was the opposite of Coleman Drayton in every respect. She was fair, he was dark She was pretty. he was plain. She was vivacious and fond of society, he was taciturn and preferred domestic seclusion.
 But they were married.
 The Draytons went to housekeeping at 374 Fifth avenue, a house belonging to the brides father. For a time they lived happily together.
 Coleman Drayton cared nothing for society, nothing for the theater, the opera, for balls, dinners and the vari- ous functions of fashionable life. Ills books were his friends.
 His wife, as was perfectly natural to the daughter of probably the most bril- liant society woman New York has ever seen. cared intensely for the round of pleasure pursued by fashionable people. The very functions that so

 About this time Mrs. Drayton iett her husbands house in BernardsVlIIe, and went 10 her fathers home at Rhinebeck, where she remained sev- eral weeks. Mrs. Astor was greatly perturbed at this step and lost no time in trying to bring the Draytons to- gether.
 A peace was at last patched up and after spending a few weeks together in New York the Draytons sailed Tor England, taking their four children with them. They took apartments in London for the season, where they lived nominally together. But MT. Drayton, it is said, treated his wife at this time with icy reserve. He spent as little time as possible with her, never accompanied her to any public place of amusement or assisted her in the performance of her social obli- gations.

 Music and recitations occupied the ear ly part of the evening, and at 10:30 a de- ltghtful Serenade, under the able direc- tion of Emil Paulissen, was given. The musicians, after playing several appro- priate pieces, including wedding march, were invited inside and furnished music for the rest of the evening.
 At midnight refreshments were served and toastS offered.
 Among those who aided in making the surprise a success were: MT. and Mrs. P. Evans, Misses Fannie, Loretta and May Hogan, Messrs. Emil Paulissen and George Garden; Miss Stella Pidgeon:

gaining for that recognition the seal and approval of the church.
 The most famous prelate of the most most famous church of New York City signified by his presence on the auspic- ious occasion that the past is to be plotted out.
 Augusta Astor is the third daughter of MT. and Mrs. William AstOr. It is rumored that she was ever the favorite daughter of her mother. At the age of 19. when her stately mother was at the zeinth of her power as a society queen, the daintily lovely young girl-the pret- tiest of the Astor daughters-was for mally presented to the exclusive circles of New York's society.
 She stepped into society from the most strict and careful surroundings The mother of the heiress to a good share of William Astors millions was a lady of the old regime, and had the ideas of her class as to the education of a young girl.
 Everybody predicted the greatest pos sible success for a girl born under so many lucky stars.

him. The friend retorted with an ex- cUse.
 After an interminable amount of buster and braVadO and babbling, which reflected no credit on any man connected with the affair, all the par ties concerned hurried back to this country. with the exception of the woman in the case.
 In June, 1894. Coleman Drayton sued for divorce from his wife on statutory grounds. Six months later Mrs. Dray ton brought cross suit on the ground of desertiOn.
 The Astors are famous for shrewd- ness. While Coleman DraytOn dawdled his wife was busy. Before Drayton's suit could come to trial and while he had only put in a general de- nial of his wife's charges, Mrs. Dray- ton pushed hers, went to the witness stand and recited the history of her matrimonial troubles in a manner to secure the sympathy of the court.
 Mrs Drayton won her suit. MT. DraytOn was scored by the Chancellor of New Jersey for allowing his suit to go by default.

airy and devotion for which Americans are noted.
 For several years Mrs. Drayton has lived abroad, quietly and unostenta- tiously, biding her time She has known what was her mothers dearest ambition, and comprehending perfect ly the amazing tact, patience and dip lomacy back of it, has been quite con- tent to leave her future in Mrs. Astor's hands.
 Last summer Mrs. Astor made the first attempt to carry society by storm for her daughter. Mrs. Drayton visit ed her mother at Newport and was seen constantly driving with Mrs. As tor.
 It was well understood in Newport society that any one who tabooed Mrs. Drayton would be persona non grata to the lady who has so long Wlelded the scepter of leadership.
 But society was shy.
 Mrs. Drayton was not received with open arms in Newport. Mrs. Astor gave a superb luncheon, to which the sshowling swens" were invited. Seve- ral people went, not knowing they were to meet Mrs. DraytOn. It is said that many were very ln- dignant when they discovered that the ! ladv was receiving with her mother. In deed it is even whispered that one ol

man Drayton was married in St. Co., lumbias Church, London, to George Haig, a wealthy whisky merchant
 Not more than thirty people were present, but all fashionable and fam ous. After a wedding trip to Paris and Nice MT. and Mrs. Haig came to New York.
 Mrs Astor decided that 1t was now time to move on the enenny's works With masterly generalship she planned a superb dinner for her daughter and her new Son-in-law.
 To this dinner were bidden the most exclusive of the inner circle of that so- ciety over which Mrs. Astor holds sway.
 But it remained for Mrs. Astor to forever settle her daughters place in her world through the tacit indorse- ment which unquestionably was given to Mrs. Haig's rentree, not alone by ] the presence of the Bishop of the Dio- l cese of New York, but also by that l of his wife.

 John Jacob Astor has also stood by his sister loyalty. When her father cut her off in his will her brother came for ward at once and generously bestowed a million upon Mrs. Drayton.
