YOUNG ASTOR WON'T
BECOME A SOCIALIST
Americas Richest Young Man
Rejects Plea Of Author Sin
uiair to Join Movement.

Vincent Astor. America's richest
young man, has no present intention Of
r,ecomiug socialist. Mr.. Astor, in n
,ong letter in reply to Upton. Sinclair's
etter urging him to join the socialist,
ct only expresses his determination not
D be a socialist but goes into some of
lis reasons for believing that the SO
ialist solution of present day evils is
allacious and impracticable-
The letter is interesting not only be-
..use it gives thoughtful answer to
the appeal made TO him, but also dis
loses some Of the inner WORKINGS of
The young 'n1ulti-nillionaire's mind. Ii
$ ows that ne is a student Of present
DAY affairs and that while he respects
ice opinions of others he has opinions
Of his own. .'
Mr. Astor admits in > his letter that
,Here are many evils Of the present day
which should be corrected. but he also
SHOWS a wholesome belief that they will
j. time be corrected
Mr.. SinclairS argument was that
there arc 10, 100000 destitute people in
best chance to relieve the suffering Of
humanity was by becoming a socialist
SIR. Astor informs Mr. Sinclair that
he has already made q study of Socla!-
ISM and is, fortunately closely asSu-
'iated with various organizations

The railway hrotherhOOds are msm-
hers. and not one If these men, whose
ives and energies are devoted TO
he solution OF social and industrial
.-Toblems, accepts SiEclair's philosophy
5 a cure for the evils which all rec

The socialist program of public anG
objective ownerShip and operGtion of
lle instruments and agencies for the
rejection and distribution of wealth
ne considers failaCiuUS, and he is con-
vincaG that the evils which have at
8 ended Industrial development can ana
viii be eradiCated without overturn-
ng tie basis upon which the Govern
Tient and the social fabric are found
d. He IS convinced, moreover, not
ouly from his own investigations. but
from the Testimony Of leading repre-
sentatiyes OF labor, that the condition
II the laboring people has much i'm
uroved during the last few genera
lions.
Concluding. he says he fails TO see
hat the world is moving, as Sinclair
tells him IL is. Into one of the most
terrific cataclysms in the history OF
mankind"

more than a pair Of jumper straps run
over the shoulder and broadened be-
low the bust, Stimulating the lines Of a
vest. The two pointed tabs extending
below the belt complete the effect.
It Is made of stenciled chiffon
backed with white net to give it body,
and is put ON over the blouse. In back
the straps do not broaden out as in
front, but are kept narrow and cross
over each other at the center. The
blouses that such little vests are worn
with must be of sheer batiste or net,
or the desired effect will be lost.
Satin velvet and plain or how-
cred taffetas are other popular mata-
rails to make up the vests in and In
any color desired
With its customary Inconsistency
fashion suggests turning about this
idea Of the silk or chiffon vest with
the net or lacy blouse. and fashions
q vest of net or lace to wear with
the silk blouse. No doubt the idea
will be played up in many interesting
ways before the summer Is over. for
1t certainly has desirable possibilities.
and by being well supplied with all
such dainty tribes one can almost
establish a reputation for being ex-
ceptionally we'll dressed this season.
