head of one of the greatest. ARerican
houses. Vincent AstOr, and Helen
Dinsnore Huntington; daughter OF an

The recent arrival from Europe Of
the mother Of the backgrounds
Mrs Ava Willing Astor. the refitting
Of the famous yacht NOmas and an
nOuncement of the wedding so shortly
before the date set are concentrating
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 It was
thought the Mona was to be used for
a mysterious purpose
This idea was fOstered largely by
the simple tastes Of the young COu-
pie. The bridetObe has extracted
from her betrOthed a promise that
they viii 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 unSOciable, nor at all
Ignorant of ball rooms, theaters, and
"dOings." but she cares not a whit for
the formal side Of society.
VIII BE country " edQlllEEs
The wedding will be a 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 well
this winter, too he has suffered
from pneumonia and bronchitis II
will be remembered that his mother
almost despaired Of his life at the age
Of eight. when she hurried him off to
st. Moritz.

led so far, it is to be expected that
she and her husband viii spend much
time in the open. The tall, blonde
girl Of 20 was brought up almost en-
tirely on the big Huntington and Dins-
more places, along the Hudson. which
were once held by her grandfather.
William B. Dinsmore, late president
Of the Adams Express company She
went TO school in DObbs Ferry, which
isn't 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 H.
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 lit
look at it AstOr remarked with a.
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.
.'Nomn,v the HoneyulOOn ship.
At the time the Staten Island Ship
building company began to rip out
the fittings Of the Mona, it was nat
urally surmised that she was to be the
honeymoon ship Then it was un-
derstOod that the swift little craft
was to make pre-nuptial cruise
across the Atlantic, through the
Mediterranean and up the. Nile with
the young couple and their mothers
