ASTOR BABY REACHES FIRST
MILESTONE, OF HIS YOUNG LIFE

New York, Aug l9.-Born in the lap
of wealth under unusual circumstances
and nurtured like an infant prince of
royal blood, John Jacob Aston w.
posthumous son of the late Col. John
Jacob Astor, one of the notable vic
tins of the Titanic disaster, reach the
first milestone of his young life, the
first anniversary of his birth on Au-
gust 14,1912. Although only just a
twelvemonth of age the millionaire
baby or baby millionaire has already
an interesting, in fact, sensational
history.
Circumstances of the most unusual
character surrounded the coming into
the world of this child which, not
withstanding its tender youth is the
owner of a fortune of three million
dollars, to be held in trust for him
until he becomes age. His father
was Col. John Jacob Aston, one of the
wealthiest men in TINS country, VINO
left fortune estimated at nearly one
hundred millions, when The met a
brave mans death on the Inflated I'll
tanic. Colonel Astor, son of William
Astor and cousin of William Waldor
Aston, was married twice. In 1891 HI
married Ava Lowle Willing, by whom
he was divorced in 1909. In the fal
of 1911 it was rumored that Col. Johl
Jacob Astor was paying marked atten
ton to Madeline, the beautiful daugf
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. William H. Force
of Brooklyn, N. Y. The rumor wa
soon confirmed, when Col. Astor OF
tanned a marriage license on Septen

morning and quickly drove to New

them who, frightened out of their wits, |
pushed themselves to the front and
sought safety in the boats which were
intended for the women and children.
Colonel Astor was not one of those
cravens. Tenderly he placed his young
and beautiful wife into one of the
boats and then stepped back to give
room to women and children, while
he remained on board, to go down
few hours later with other heroes OF
the Titanic, whose names have since
then been honored by the whole ma
| ton.
The boat, containing, among the
| passengers, Mrs. Madeleine Force AS

to New York, where Mrs. Astor re-

A WOMAS TAKING AN
AFFECTIoNATE LOOK AT
HERSELF IN THE MIRROR

Grace Margaret Gould, Fashion Edi-
tor of the Womans Home Companion,
presents the latest news about style
in the September number of that peri
odicaL Miss Gould's advice to women
is to dress well, but not conspicuously.
She is strongly opposed to the ex-
tremes of fashion when it comes to
giving suggestions and laying out plans
for clothes, but as matters of interest
she reports the novelties of fashion
and frequently makes fun of them; as,
for example, in her article entitled
1.-THE Deceitful Mirror" in which she
says that she has always thought or
the mirror as woman's friend, but that
on further reflection she is inclined to
tthink of it as woman's foe-a deadly,
deceitful, designing enemy. How, 9TH
erwise. she asks, can we account for
the way some women dress?
When a woman looks into one of
those distorting mirrors that make her
terribly fat she laughs and thinks what
a caricature it is of herself But, I'M
fortunately, when she looks in her own
mirror and something equally funny is
reflected there-she doesn't see the
laugh in it at all. The plain truth is
that woman sees herself just the way
she wants to see herself. No matter
how becoming certain new fashion
NAV be to her. the deceitful mirror
wheedles her into thinking she is the
most modish thing out. Miss Goulc
goes on in part as follows:
take for instance, this little scene
at the veil counter Of a department
