Leadership
as the Real
Widow OF
Col. Astor
--Or Just
to Keep
Vincent
from Some

hood won her the friendship OF so'
ciety. She is as much apart from
the fashionable world as though she
had not married one Of its most i'm
portant men. She lives alone In
her superb home, unsought by So
ciety-and not seeking it.
There is no doubt that the most
important factor in the affair is the
returned exile herself. Her attitude
will settle a part Of the vexed prob
lem. If she succeeds In breaking on
all communication between Vincent
Astor and his stepmother there Is
no manner Of doubt that society VIII
continue its present policy OF neglect
Ing the young widow.
Many OF Mrs Astor's friends say
that this Is her sole reason Tor re
turning to New York. One proml-
nent matron says that Mrs. Astor
does not intend TO let the young
widow and her family carry things
with high hand: that Vincent Is
moi to be allowed to be on friendly
terms with the new connections
brcueht into the family by his
fathers second marriage, that he Is
TO be a stranger to his baby step
brother.
"This." said the matron. "ls Avas
sole reason for coming back. and
very good reason, too" she finished.
But an equally important matron
saws that mother love is the reason
for the return.
AVA" says this matron, rs devoteo
TO Vincent, and when he appealed TO
her TO come and assume charge OF
his home she gave up her most cher
ished plans. 1t is mother love that
brings her back. Why, Ava might
marry into the English nobility. She
is on the most friendly terms with
fine Court Circle even Queen Mary
has singled her out for attention.
and no American has moro Valu-
able position in London. But LOT
Vincents sake she gives all this up.
Oniy mother love could make such
sacrifice"
On the contrary, several OF the
women who have known Mrs. Astor
for many years say that mother love
was never her strong point and that
1t has nothing to do with her re-
turn. They cali attention to the TACT
that she gave Vincent to his father
at the time Of the divorce and made
no effort to hold him.
Ava" say these critics, us not
Guided by mother love, but by social
ambition. She has never given up
her right to use the name Of Astor
and calls herself either Mrs. Astor'
or Mrs. John Astor.' She has abso-
lutely refused to add her maiden
name as so many prominent divorces
have done. This shows clearly that
she realizes the social value Of her
late husbands name and family and
does not mean TO give this advan"
tage to her successor, 1t is social
ambition. pure and simple, that
made Ava come back"
Who shall decide when society
disagrees? Whatever Mrs Astor
reasons. the fact is that she Is here
and that she will be much in the
public eye all Winter. BY virtue Of
her beauty. her family and her
wealth. she will naturally assume
her old.time position in society. She

can no longer reign In the three
milljon-dollar mansion fronting Gen.
tral Park where her former trl-
umphs occurred. But the women
who will flock to her In her new
home further down the avenue will
never call on The second Mrs. Astor.
In her Winters campaign Mrs,
Astor will have the moral support
of her sister~in-laW, Mrs. Orme Will
son, who was Colonel Astor's young
est sister. Mrs. Wilson never ac-
ceDted the new wife. She has never
spoken to her. When the baby was
born Mrs Wilson made no friendly
inquiries. She did not even send her
new nephew pair Of baby sox!
Society has watched Mrs. Wilson
closely, and undoubtedly has been
guided by her. Last Winter when
Colonel Astor appeared in his box at
the opera with his pretty bride. Mrs
Wilson sat il the next box and did
not turn her face once toward her
brother or his wife. Sne openly cut
them before The crowded opera
house. Not even her brothers
tragic death won kind word from
her. She has not entered the great
mansion where her mother died
since Madeleine Force entered it as
a bride.
Mrs Astor will therefore have
Mrs. Wilson's help in keeping Vim
cent among his old friends and in
furthering her plans for marrying
the ndred-million-dollar heir to a
girl Of family and high social stand
ing. There must be no mistake
made in Flncent's marriage, The
Astor line must be perpetuated. as
1t has been in the past, by a care
fully arranged marriage.
Young Mr.. Astor undoubtedly
needs a mothers care. He is one
OF the richest young men In the
world and his path will be beSet
with temptations. He is not par
ticularly capable Of managing his
great estate and he is just at the
point where he might make a most
serious mis-step His mother. by
surrounding him with her friends
and by keeping him in the rut
carved by The Astor family, will be
OF incalculable service to him. or
course there will no entertaining
this winter. for in spite of her d.
vorce Mrs. Astor is observing a
period OF mourning. She Is refusing
all invitations to formal affairs and
is wearing black. The very quiet
ness Of their life makes 1t all the
more necessary to surround the
heir with family friends.

THE REVIVAL MEETING

Yesterday was good day at the re-
vival meeting. The church was full
for the morning service with a splen-
did interest. The sermon was on THE
Communion and was a fine presenta-
ton of the subject.
At o'clock 125 women gathered
for the special lecture to women only.
This was a splendid lecture and the
theme was we'll illustrated and force
fully presented. 1t was rather re-
marka BILE that the number of women
at yesterdays lecture was the same
as the number of men who attended
the meeting for men only a week ago
there being 125 at each meeting.
At 7:15 the house was full again and
the audience was we'll repaid by the
lecture on the reformation or the evo-
luton of the modern denominations
Splendid music was rendered al
each service, the singing of Mr.. Castle
and his piano playing being special
features of the meeting.
A number of people united with the
church yesterday.
| Tonight will be a special service, "a
| Sermon in Song" At the close of the
| service the ordinance of baptism viii

THE METROPOLITAN COMPANY

Much interest has been shown in the
coming of the Metropolitan Concert
Company of New York, at the Temple
Theater. Monday night, March 18th,
for such an organization of great ar
lists has not been heard in the city in
many years.
Miss Josephine Gerwing. the violin
ist of the company, is a German by
birth. She was born at Cologne on
the Rheine, and it is sufficient to say
that such great men as Prof. Joachim
and Prof. Max Bruch remarked they
never heard more perfect playing by
such a young person. Max Bruch often
accompanied her on the piano, playing g
his own compositions.
The Augusta, Ga, Chonicle of Feb.
10, says: Miss Gerwing was both
youthful and pretty. She is one of the
finest violinists ever heard here. She
played with expression that brought
out almost human notes from the vio-
lin"

Saturday afternoon the Woman
Club held a most interesting meeting
in its club rooms. The attendance was
one of the largest meetings, aside
from the social gatherings ever held
in the club.
After the preliminary business had
been transacted, the president turned
the chair over to Mrs. L. W. Duva1, of
the household economics committee,
who took charge of the meeting in the
absence of Mrs. Harold, who was pre-
vented from being present by sick
ness.
The special feature of the afternoon
was the demonstration by Mr.. w. P.
Edwards Of the city market, who
spoke most concisely and clearly
(using a chart to illustrate his talk)
on the various cuts of meat, pointing
out the best cuts, the cheaper cuts and
the poorest cuts, and demonstrating
how the housekeepers could tell these
things for themselves. His talk was
extremely instructive, and the club
rendered him a rising vote of thanks
for his interesting talk to them.
After Mr.. Edwards had concluded
the meeting was turned into a house
keepers conference and various mem
bers of the club exchanged different
good recipes, not only for preparing
meats, ~othsS~foods as well, and
some exceedingly good housekeeping
helps We're also exchanged.

BEAN GUESSING PRIZE
WON BY MRS. BURNETT

The bean guessing contest held for
the past month by Messrs. Hurst &
Garner at their ladies ready to- wear
goods emporium on West Fort King
avenue, closed at o'clock Saturday
evening, and the task of counting the
beans was awarded to Mr.. r. r. Carroll
of the Star and Mr.. B. A. Brannan of
the Ocala Banner.
The count showed that the quart jar
of beans, a mixture of various sizes
contained 1131.
Mrs Jerry Burnett, with a guess of
1876, was the nearest correct, and was
awarded the beautiful cream colored
serge dress offered as first prize, while
Mrs. L. w Ponder won the second
prize of s. in gold for the next nearest
correct number-1137. There were pos
Sibly twenty-five guesses entered that
came within twenty of the correct
number, the next nearest to the prize
winners being Mrs. F. r. Malpass OF
Milledgeville, Ga, who is visiting her
sister, Mrs. W. D. Richey, on North
Sanchez street
The highest number recorded was
$4,000, while the lowest was 213.
Messrs. Hurst & Garner have sue
ceeded in building up a splendid bust
ness in their line, though they have
only been opened up for the past few
months, and their guessing contes
was the means of bringing many o.
the ladies from all over the county, a:
well as Ocala, to their store, to entel
into the guessing game.

The ball game on the South Magno-
liza diamond Saturday afternoon was a
good one, and we'll worth seeing, but
the attendance was rather slim.
Our home boys played we'll, consid-
ering their practice, but it was evil
dent from the start that they were
matched by the visitors, each
member of the opposing team seeming
a veteran and all working like wen
ordered machine. Their lineup was
as follows:
Moseley, SIS; Houghtalfng, CT; Davis,
p; Grace, C; Bennett, 1b; Pounds, 3b;
Swanson, If; Campbell, IF; Thrasher,
2b; Hearin, c; Evins, CT.
Messrs. Norton Davis and Julian
Bullock umpired the game, which re-
suited in a score of Is to 1 in favor of
the visitors.
The high school boys are not dis
couraged at the result of the game, as
they know they are able to improve
with practice, but they think their eff
forts deserve a better attendance than
they had Saturday afternoon, and the
Star is of the opinion that playing to
thinly lined benches will soon chill
their patriotism.
