trattng the attention OF society folk
upon the young couple
Through the winter there was
much mystery about their plans.
Many limited at a secret wedding. 1t
was thought that the Mona was to be
used for mysterious purpose,
The idea was fcstered largely by
the simple tastes Of the young couple.
The bride-to-be has extracted from
her betrothed promise that they
will spend most of their lives on the
beautiful banks of the Hudson, where
she was brought up and where
Astor's 5000-acre Ferncliffe estate
lies. She is not unscciabla, nor at all
ignorant Of bathrooms, theaters and
do;ngs, but she cares not whit for
the formal side of society

country church at Staatsburg.

time in the open The tall, blonde
girl of 20 was brought up almost en-
tirely on the big Huntington and Dfns-
more places along the Hudson, which
were once held by her grandfather,
William B. Dinsmore, late president of
the Adams Express Company
Her first quarrel with Vincent came

She had planted an oak tree when
three years old with the aid of her
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs Robert p.
Huntington. The tree had grown for
six years and she proudly took her
little visitor from up the road out to
look at it. Aston remarked with
critical eye it would take some years
for the tree to be big enough to climb
in. The visit ended abruptly right
there, but the next day Vincent
sought and obtained pardon over the
telephone.
At the time the Staten Island Ship

Atlantic, through the Mediterranean
and up the Nile with the young couple
and their mothers. This would have
been following the course taken by
the late Colonel John Jacob Aston on
his honeymoon trip, which ended with
The sinking of the Inflated Titanic.
But young Aston said mo" to both

1t was by means of mere good for
tune that Mrs. Thomas Kennedy, a
recent bride of San francisco, was
able to bring her dearest friend with
her on her voyage to honolulu On the
last Matsonia. If the stewards on the
liner had not decided to strike and if
Capt. William Matson had not held
the boat, Miss Alys Summerhayes
would never have gotten to the wharf
in time and Mrs. Kennedy must needs
have come alone. The San Francisco
Chronicle tells the story as follows:
