SHE'S MRS. JOHN AsToR NOW

Although Ava. Willing Astor has
proclaimed herself a resident Of Eng
land, and has announced her intention
of rearing her daughter Muriel abroad,
no intimation has come as to when she
will start back to London.
Society is waiting impatiently for
this announcement, as from it fair
ly definite answer may be cleaned
to the one big question which is agi-
tating the four hundred now:
Will Mrs. Ava Willing Aston try to
resume her place in society here and
become the recognized feminine head
Of the Astor family?
Public discussion of this phase of
the complicated Astor family situation
is considered out of the question dur
ing the present period of mourning,
but private speculation upon it is rife
in all circles Of society.
The fact that Mrs Astor, immedi-
ately upon her arrival here, took pains
to identify herself to interviewers as
Mrs. John Astor is taken by many to

declared fatty that she would not
marry him unless he set up house
keeping. For long time Officer Daley
debated with himself, matrimony pull
ing on one side and Miss Murray's
cooking Juggling on the other.
In this battle his heart finally won.
He married and left Miss Murray's
boarding house to live in cozy fat
of his own. A little son, Michael Da-
ley, blessed his union But in few
years his wife died. Right after the
funeral officer Daley took his baby
and went back to Miss Murray. He
has been there ever since. and so has
his boy.
Then there was Inspector Wheeler.
Several years ago the inspectors
brother built himself a new house, and
thought it would be fine to have the
inspector live there with him. The in
spector liked the idea of living with
his own kin, but he put off going as
long as possible.
Finally he packed his belongings
and stole away to his new home.
Went Back to Miss Murray.
But he was i'll at ease in his new
quarters. His brother and his broth
er's wife and his gay young nieces
and nephews wondered to see him sit
in moody silence and to hear him pace
the floor of his room until far into the
night Then one morning his room
in his brothers luxurious home was
found empty. The inspector had
packed his things and gone back to
Miss Murray's In the night.
AS model boarding house keeper
Miss Murray was no accident. She
fitted herself by years of study, expert
ment and hard work. In her old age
she Is able to formulate certain rules
which, she says, IL lived up to rigidly
will enable other boarding house keep
ers to achieve success. Here are
some of the rules:
Give everybody plenty to eat.
Make the food plain and good.
Make the table and house homelike.
Don't run too much to style. A man
would rather have thick, juicy beef
steak than cut glass and fancy sill
yer.
Put everything on the table at once
and let the boarders help themselves.
Try to Please Them.
Cater to individual appetites. If
one wants his steak well done and
another wants it rare. cook their
steaks separately.
Do your own marketing and make
marketing study.
Make good coffee. Bad coffee has
been responsible for more boarding
house failures than any other one
thing.
Have specialties in cooking-dishes
that you cook differently from any
body else and that your boarders can
not get anywhere except at your own
table.
Do your own cooking.
Have your table linen and dishes
specklessly clean.
Never serve any dish that is not as
good as you know how to make 1t. If
slightly burned or faulty in any re-
spect, throw it away.
Have plenty of hot water In the
house at all times.
Have certain hour for meals, and
serve them promptly on the hour
Keep your rooms clean, and have
plenty Of bedclothes in cold weather.
Have all men as your boarders or
all women. Never try to mix men
and women. AS boarders they won't
mix. Men are preferable.
Mother your men. Darn their socks
and sew their buttons on, keep their
clothes in repair. and attend to their
laundry.

house keeper, has retired from
~ business after conducting a
boarding house for so years
She is eighty years old, and has as
much money as she needs to keep her
for the rest of her days.
Fourteen men gathered at the little
farewell banquet she gave recently at
her boarding house, at122 South Green
street, a dingy thoroughfare in the
heart of manufacturing district.
Most Of them were gray-haired and
old, some were wealthy and all were
well-to-do. They had been her board
ers for terms ranging from Is to 40
years.
On that occasion, these boarders
toasted their retiring landlady in cof-
fee of her own brew, and called her
"the paragon of boarding house keep
ers,' "the most wonderful boarding
house keeper in the world" and "the
best boarding house keeper in all his
tory"
There are no statistics on boarding
house keepers to test the exact truth
of these encomiums. But the facts in
the case would seem to prove beyond
cavil that, even If Mrs. Murray were
not the best boarding house keeper in
history, she at least is to be number
ed among the chosen few.
Boarders Seldom Left Her.
One may best Judge the hold she
had upon her boarders by the term of
years each one has been with her.
Here is the list of her boarders and
the number of years each stayed:
Case Stewart, official of the Chica-
go & Northwestern railway, who be-
came boarder with Miss Murray be-
fore the Chicago fire, As years.
Inspector John Wheeler of the Chi
cago police department, who became
a boarder when he was a patrolman,
"a years.
Neil Mcintyre, architect, 20 years.
Edward Cooney, policeman, 26 years.
John Cassidy of the Central Trust
company of Illinois, % years.
Daniel O'Connor, broker, 20 years.
Timothy Daley, policeman, is years
Michael Daley, his son, seventeen
years old, Is years.
Edward Beal, buyer for a depart
uent store, Is years.
DIR. W. A Quinn, Is years.
DR.. William H. Mccarthy, 16 years.
Frank Hoy, Is years.
Samuel Wilson, 15 years.
DR.. Charles w. Imwall, Is years.
One perhaps might wonder why
there was no boarder who had been
with her throughout the full 80 years
she kept boarding house. Miss Muir
~ explained this at the banquet
Michael O'Flaherty," she remark

never knew a man who liked good
coffee SO well or could eat so much
boiled ham as O'F1aherty. He sat at
my table three times a day for 80
years. 1t was through no fault of his
own that he quit me. He died. poor
man."
The food served at Miss Murray's
table seems to have woven sort Of
hypnotic spell about her boarders.
Some of them went away-or tried to
and in every instance they came
futtering back like fascinated birds.
Some OF her boarders used to say
that, once boarder with Miss MUIR

MAJ. RHoADEs SUCCEEDS BUTT

Maj. Thomas L. Rhoads, who has sue
ceeded the late Maj. Archibald w.
Butt at the presidents chief military
aid, was chosen from the medical
branch of the army service. He is
AZ years old and unmarried, like ala
his predecessors. Serving as the pres
ident's aid is one OF the most exacting
occupations known, and for that rea-
son bachelor is invariably given the
post.
Until recently Major Rhoads served
on the medical stan of the Walter
Reed General hospital, near Bright
wood, a suburb of Washington city.
His duties there naturally kept him
from mingling much in the social life
of the capital and restricted the range
of his acquaintance. But that restric-
ton has now been removed, and
Major Rhoads is making friends rap

Chauncey M. Depew, seventy-eight
years old, stepped into the recep-

house at No. 81 West Fifty-fourth
street, with the same springy, erect
carriage which has distinguished
him always. With his same old
genial smile and hand clasp he
demanded to know of a reporter
If he were not as young looking as
ever. He appeared to be.
WELL" said Mr.. Depew, 'T suppose
you want to know the secret of youth?
What? Most wealthy Americans don't
know it? So, SO. Well, they use their
acquisitive faculties SO much that
they forget how to play. I always

meditatively. Then his eyes twinkled.

taking the city, he declared thar he

The appointment of a committee by

have been a forward movement by those
familiar with the situation. Orozco, It
is asserted by those who know him,
will positively refuse to have anything
to do with the committee.
