INDEPENDENT MRS. ASToR
Some Stories of the Woman Who
Dominated New York Society
h for Years.

The late Mrs. Astor's indifference to sta
tionery would astonish' many climbers. An
invitation to one OF her dances was for
years sought after most eagerly in New
York by persons who wanted social class
i~fication. Yet the same plate was used
after Mrs. Astor moved uptown and the
large number of impressions made from 1t
had so obliterated the engraving that 1t
was indistinct in many places. No ordinary
hostess of exalted social ambition would
have been content to use such a plate, but
Mrs. Astor stuck to 1t up to the date of
her last ball.
She was known, Of course. to more New
Workers through her attendance at the
opera than through their social acquaint-
ance with her. For years the Aston box
has been the most conspicuous In the par
terre, being No. 7. This box she divided
with her son, Colonel Astor, and it did not
often happen that they occupied it together.
Mrs. Astor came in always an hour after
the performance had begun. Just as in
yariably did she depart before the last act.
One popularity of this departure always
seemed incomprehensible to the spectators,
who found as much interest in watching
her box as in listening to the singers.
Mrs. Astor waited through the intermis-
sion that preceded the last act and re-
ceived her friends in her box. Then when
the curtain was up and the music had be-
gun she made her preparations to leave.
That was for years the signal for the par
terre row to get ready to leave. AS soon
as Mrs. Aston had retired others began to
drop out from time to time until within a
quarter of an hour after her exit the par
terre was empty.
Her objection to sitting in a light box
compelled Mr.. Conried during his first year
at the Metropolitan to go to considerable
trouble. Mrs. Astor did not like a light in
her box, but the electric wires for lighting
the boxes had been so arranged that IT was
impossible to turn the light off in one with
out accomplishing the same result in all
OF them.
Mrs. Astor gently but firmly made Mr..
Conried understand hat while there might
be rules for other paTterre boxes, there
was none for Mrs. Astor's beyond what
she wished. So the Astor box was always
shrouded in gloom during the acts, while
in others the tiny electric globe burned
under its pink silk shade.

USING THE FACE CREAMS
Toilet Preparations Should Include
Both Skin Food and Cleans
ing Cream.

In applying cream or cosmetics Of any
kind one must be sure that she under
stand for what purpose they are to be
used, and not apply in a haphazaTd, care
less manner any cream you may happen to
have as a massage cream or cleansing
cream. There are two distinct creams.
There is nothing In a cleansing cream that
will rebuild or strengthen the tissues; IL
only removes the dirt and keeps the skin
smooth and soft. makes a good foundation
for powder. and does not have to be mas.
saged in. Skin nourisher should be worked
well into the skin by patting the flesh
briskly with the cushion tips OF you fin
gers, and II such a cream is a really good
nourisher it is too heavy for cleansing pur-
poses. One should rave both of these
creams and use them as directed.
