Mr.. Astor did not believe that most Of
mankind would act to destroy. So he
declared his intention of housekeeping.
It was stupendous task which he
had embarked on, and no one realized
this better than Astor himself. The
number OF his properties runs into the
thousands. Personal investigation Of
zach house or bit Of land was out Of
the question. So the young man Of
twenty-one set staff Of investigators
to work at the task. It Is still going
on. 1t Is not only big job and q
slow Job. but an extremely costly one,
even fore the possessor OF over $780,
100000.
Mr.. Astor became the head of the
family in April. 1912. and his great
work just referred to didn't become
known for eight months, by which
time It was well under way. Meantime
ali sorts Of little things that indicated
his desire to be real, not nominal,
On Nov Is last Mr.. Astor was TWEEN
ty-one and came formally into posses
sion of his fathers estate. There was
no celebration The young man had
been at his desk the morning before
and had left to 60 yachting with q
friend The morning Of the 18th saw
him again at his desk at 8 O'Clock. He
worked until in the afternoon. Then
be left to go to Ferncllffe. his place
on the Hudson, for a quiet birthday
dinner with his mother and sister.
Before he left he told the staff to look
for him at his desk next morning. and
the next morning found him there.
The waxing interest Of Mr. Astor in
social work was shown By news Of two
benefactions on successive days. A
few weeks ago it was announced that
he would found at Rhinebeck an up TO
date children's convalescent home
Then came word of his plan to give
an outing every Saturday throughout
the warm weather to 5000 poor wo-
men and children, including sail to
Bath Beach and back. luncheon and
swimming. This work Mr.. Astor dele
gated to the Children's Aid society. and
he pays the bills. With his increasing
social and business activities be has
not neglected the sports he loves. In
the last half year he has bought two
powerful racing automobiles and has
arranged to build 1900 ton yacht.
