SHE'S MRS. JOHN AsToR NOW

Although Ava. Willing Astor has
proclaimed herself 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 a fair
ly definite answer may be CLEANED
to the one big question which is agi-
tating the four hundred now:
VIII Mrs. Ava Willing Astor 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 1t 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

MAJ. RHoADEs SUCCEEDS BUTT

Maj. Thomas L. Rhoads, who has sue
ceeded the late Mai. 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 all
his predecessors. Serving as the pres
ident's aid is one of the most exacting
occupations known, and for that rea-
son a bachelor is invariably given the
post.
Until recently Major Rhoads served
on the medical staff of the Walter
Reed General hospital, near Bright
wood, 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 acquaintances. But that restric-
tlon has now been removed, and
Major Rhoads is making friends ran

went to third on Fuller's single. and
came home on Jansen's sacrifice fly.
In the fifth they annexed three more

by Krause in the tenth after the lat
ter had gone in as pinch hitter in
the ninth. Fuller went to first in the
seventh on the short stops error. stole
second, advanced to third on Growers
single and came home on Stokes
drive. Stake managed to cross the
rubber on two fielder's choices.
Baker made three runs in the third
without registering a hit. but Jensen,
Grover and Engle made costly errors.
In the fifth West crossed the pan,
getting first on a fielder's choice,
stealing second and comilng in on
