known, popular and have even
achieved the acme of success, but 1t
has taken years where 1t took Mrs.
Astor weeks.
Undoubtedly there are very few
rcomen in society who possess the
beauty of Mrs. John Jacob Astor. She
is tall and willowy, with masses of
soft. curling hair slightly tinged with
gray. Her chief loneliness lies In her
eyes, which are large and literally
glowing with a clear, soft radiance.
They attract great attention wherever
she goes and give her a singularly
naive, artless look. Mrs. Astor's gowns
are part Of her attraction, as she has
made them study, and some of her
"creations" are marvels of beauty and
richness. The King was heard to re-
mark after having met Mrs. Aston at
a gathering of social lights, "She Is the
best advertisement Worth ever hadw
She seldom wears a gown more than
twice. Her costumes all come from
gay Paris" and are of two distinct
styles In the daytime she is stately
and decidedly clean cut In the Eng
fish style of tailor made, but at night
she Is n radiant vision of beauty in
soft. clinging. sweeping frocks and
with her hair falling in loose waves
about her face. She possesses sets of
Jewels to suit each costume which she
wears. whether intended for day or
evening. 1t is said that Live and let
live" is Mrs. Astors motto, which SEN
timent ought not to be unusual for a
woman whose husband is one Of the
worlds wcalthiest men.
Mrs. John Jacob AStor was Miss
Ava Willing, a beauty of Philadelphia.
She was married to Mr.. Astor in Feb
ruary, 1891.
The first John Jacob Astor was a
financial success of the first rank. In
