Heretofore Astor has manifested a
spirit of selishness in reserving his es-
tates for his own exclusive enjoy
ment, which is not at all in keeping
with the customs and traditions of the
English aristocracy, most of whom
freely throw open their domains to the
public on at least one day in the
week. When Astor bought from the
Duke of Westminster the beautiful
Clieveden property, overlooking the
Thames, he treated visitors as tres
passers and withdrew the privileges
which they had previously enjoyed.
At the present time he has a row on

Of affairs these incidents reveal. They
cannot restrict their invitations to a
reasonable number without giving NOR
tai Offense TO many persons and placing
IN jeopardy their own popularity How
ever magnificent their abodes they
boast only one front door, and only one
carriage can draw up at one time. One
or two minutes are expended while the
occupants alight, and the carriage rolls
away. When there are hundreds of
carriages filed with guests waiting,
these minutes stretch into long and
tedious hours. And it is not alone those
who are invited to these grand func-
tions who are exposed to sore inconve-
nience in consequence of the street
blockades they cause. Cabs containing
people who are returning to their homes
and are very anxious to get to them
are often detained for over an hour in
consequence. Swells cannot be treated
like tostermongers and summoned for
impeding street traffic and creating
what the law terms a nuisance.
