THE CROWN OF MORGAN
Heir to Financial Throne to Cut Fig
 ure in London Society.

Evidently Jack Morgan, heir aD- parent to the financial throne of J. Pierpont Morgan, is going to cut more l of a figure in London society hereafter. He has taken the stately residence at i No. F Grosvenor square in which Bull wer Lytton spent his last years, and is going to desert Park lane although his 1 costly house at the corner of South street and Park lane is still on his hands.
 | The fitting is significant of distinc- | tion that is beginning to be made be- l tween Park lane-the Fifth avenue of i London-and Grosvenor square. One can judge of the status of the latter locality from the fact that the steamer 1 which carried so many duchesses, | oountesses and other portions of the very cream of London society to Delhi as the guests of Lord Curzon for the | Durbar was nicknamed 'The GrosVenor | Square" You have to have ancestors and solid social standing if you are b be part of Grosvenor square.
 Park lane began to decline socially from about the time Barney Bernato son of a. peddler of old clothes. moved into the most imposing mansion on the street. Now this gilded thoroughfare 1 has come to be associated with the new rich. as typified by the South African | millionaire and the gentleman with 2 1 foreign accent who has prospered ex- | ceedingly in the city" Noblemen like his grace, the duke of Westminster ! still abide in Park lane, but they are | not nearly so thick as they used to be- | while the "other sort are increasing at such rate that Charles T. Yerkes is said to have refused an offer of a house there on the ground that tha street contained "too many new made millionaires.''
 The exodus of Jack Morgan from a neighborhood which is losing a little of it's tone to the most elite square Fl l London. where he is to have the duke of Portland and Sir Ernest CasselI. King Edwards intimate friend. as neighbors, looks significant A mar ried man-with an American wife. of course-and the proud father of two 1 boys and two girls. the heir to the Nor gan throne heretofore has best enjoyed spending his leisure time with his fam fly. He has avoided display. his en- l tertainipg being limited to having q few intimate friends in occasionally ir quite an informal way. And he and | Mrs. Morgan have gone out very little Jack" Morgan is, however. fond O. sport in the open air. Every morning early during the season he is to be seen riding in Hyde park. He gOlfs, too, and is much attached to yachting. He is a voracious reader-being fordest of history and the lives of great men. Like his father he is a connoisseur of pictures, and already has made the be- ginning of a private gallery which should be notable some day.
 There are those who insist that Jack Morgan works even harder than his father does-or did. He is at his desk in Morgan X Co., unimposing set of offices. in Old Broad street every morning at 9.SO. and works with hardly a pause until luncheon, which he takes at the City club, next door. Then he is back at his desk again. not to leave it until ,. He has his fathers facult: for getting through a lot of work in . comparatively short time.
 In appearance the younger Morgan also is like his sire-being mighty in frame-siX feet two in height with a chest which is. and a Sirth which promises to be, ample. His eyes are small and full of shrewdness, but th' rest of his features are large. Both in
 business and out of it his reputation is that of a hearty. whole souled man.
 It is rather doubtful however. if '.
 Pie1pont Morgan, Jr.. could. even if ha
 wanted to. turn himself into what ia
 known as a society man. Of course his
 prestige as his fathers son, to say
 nothing of his own hearty personality
 and his vast wealth. will open almost
 any door for him: but the unObtrusive-
 ness and privacy of the life which the
 heir to the house of Morgan has elect
 cd to live since he came to LondON
 several years ago have been too com
 plete not to have made ''the social b game almost impossible for him.
