fancy-Mother of Prospective Groom Arrives From Eu-
rope to Witness the Ceremony

New York.--On the last day OF April
a most notable society event will take
place up the Hudson--the marriage of
the head of one of the greatest Ameri-
can houses, Vincent Astor, and Helen
Dinsmore Huntington. daughter of an
other line which has long been promi-
nent in American.affairs.
The recent arrival from Europe of
the mother of the bridegroom-to-be
Mrs. Ava Willing Astor, the refitting of
tie famous yacht Noma and announce
ment OF the wedding SO shortly before
the date set today are concentrating
the attention of society folk upon the
young couple.
Through the winter there was much
mystery about their plans. Many hint.
ed at secret wedding. 1t was thought
the Noma was to be used for a mys-
terious purpose.
This idea was fCstered largely by the
simple tastes of the youne couple. The
bride-to-be has extracted from her be-
trothed 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 Fernclifre estate lies She is not
unsociable. nor at all ignorant of ball
rooms, theaters and "doinss," but she
cares not a whit for the formal side Of
society.
The wedding will be country cere-
mony, either at Hopeland House, the
mansion on the Huntington estate or
in the little country church nearby.
Young Astor has not been very we'll
this winter. He has suffered from
pneumonia and bronchitis 1t will be
remembered that his mother almost
despaired of his life at the age
of eight. when she hurried him of to
st. Moritz.
led SO far it is to be expected that she
and her husband will spend much time
in the open. The tall, blade girl of
twenty was brought up almost entire
ly on the big Huntington and Dinsmore
places along the Hudson, which were
onco held by her grandfather William
b. Dinsmore, late president of the
Adams Express company. She went to
school in Dobbs Ferry, which Isn't a
great distance from her home, and she
has spent some winters in New York
city.
Her first quarrel with Vincent came
at the age of nine-he being then
eleven. She had planted an oak tree.
when three years old. with the aid of
her grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Rob
ert 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. Astor remarked, with q
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 tele-
phone.
