NEW YORK. Sept. 9--Cspecial to The
Bee. )--Society Is enjoying the CHAMBER
Cavalier affair more than ever II did, the
select monkey dinner. There Is usually
very little sympathy for a man in Sheriff
Bob's position and there is less than usual
for hln az the career Of La Cavalieri was
so thoroughly well known that he should
have known better.
One Of the most amusing features of the
affair are the audible chuckles OF John
Armstrong Challoner who cannot come to
New York because Of a decree of the
counts declaring him insane. This action
was taken at the instance Of the family and
Mr.. Challoner, who changed the spelling

The affairs of another branch of the
powerful Aston family are engaging a share
of the attention of society. The rumor per-
slsts that Colonel John Jacob Astor and
his devoted wife are about to make up.
The story goes that the children have been
very earnestly trying to bring Colonel and
Mrs. Astor together and with fair chance
OF success.
How much there is in the report is
hard to tell but the story is taken with
a good deal OF seriousness.
When Vincent Astor, their son, was at
Newport, he called daily on his mother
and spent much time with her up to the
time OF joining his father on the yacht
Mona for a trip to Bar Harbor. Mural
has been continuously with her mother, bat
she frankly avows her eagerness to so to
Colonel Aston this month, when she may
visit him in conformity with the decree
of divorce.
Muriel has her own automobile, the gift
of her father. Recently she has driven her
mother several times in that vehicle to
Beechwood, the William Astor property.
The visits have been ostensibly to call
on william Boyd. gardener and caretaker
for ten years, and his family. Mrs. Aston
looked really pleased TO recall old assocl-
atoms in this way.
She may have enjoyed nothing else in
Newport this season, for while she attends
ali the social functions II is a common re-
mark that she never looks happy.

in honor OF the justices OF the supreme

their honor at the White House there Is

OF such official entertaining. Famous for
