Mrs. John Jacob Astor
At Op n 'ng of Opera Season

A New York letter says:
Mrs. John acob Astor is certainly a ra-
diant creature. On the opening night of
the opera she showed not trace of her
recent Illness, and the regal figure in the
soft gray satin dress, with the tiara and
ropes of diamonds, was the cynosure of all
eyes. She attracted more attention than
Nine Emma Eames upon the stage, and
whispers of How sweetly pretty Mrs. As
tor looks tonight!' were heard all over the
house to the strains of a Wagnerian ac-
compartment. During the entr' actes the
Aston box was filled with the handsomest
and most brilliant men in the house, for
Mrs. William Astor is without doubt the
high priestess of New York's fashionable
society today. A bow, a cordial smile of
recognition, but above all an invitation to
one of her ceremonious dinners gives
man a cachet that nothing else can supply.
With the stamp of Astor approval de-
butantes and beaux can feel assured of
their social position
Mrs. Aston is as popular with the older
men as she is with the young ones, and
to be seen in her opera box is a kind of
patent of social nobility, and an introduce
ton to her is a very important item in
young mans social equipment, for what
ever she does at once becomes the fash
ion. 1t is rarely that woman so frank
" worshped by the masculine half of the
world is also favorite with her own SEX
but Mrs. Astor's high-bred face and gentle
manners arouse more enthusiasm than en-
wy among women less fortunate than her
self.
Colonel John Jacob Astor is also TIM
mensely popular just now, for the halo of
the military hero is around his head. His
patriotism and the soldierly simplicity of
his bearing during the late war earned him
more friends than were ever attached by
his millions.
