hood. while his eldest son, Vincent. the
head of the American branch OF the
house Of .Astor. was reduced to make
Ills home when in the city in furnished
residences rented for the season.
IL is therefore with satisfaction that
the public learned last summer that
owing TO the remarriage of John Jacob
Astor's widow to William n. Dick
the Aston family mansion had under
the terms Of Col. -Astor''s will come
into the possession OF Vincent .Astor.
He is to take up his abode there with
his young wife during the coming
week. When he enters its portals he
will carry with him the good wishes
Of many Of his fellow citizens. includ-
Ing friends OF his still beautiful mother
and Of his wonderful old grandmother,
the late Mrs. william Astor, and even
tas good wishes of perfect strangers,
who somehow or other feel a sort OF
satisfaction that fate has now re-
paired what was regarded as an in
justice.
During the last three months the
house has undergone extensive repairs
and re~decoration. and it Is intimated
NAtoN ouh W AslN M Ia ~ u
be the scene OF much gayety and
hospitality. Indeed. the hope Is ex-
pressed that in course of time 1t may
onc more become the species Of hub
n headquarters % society that IL
was in the days OF the late Mrs. Will
lam Aston. the last of its acknowledged
leaders, and | might almost say
autocrats.
True. Mrs. Vincent Astor is still
very young. a mere girl in fact. But
she has many qualities that may en-
able her by degrees TO revive the
quiet authority exercised for so many
years In the New York world of FASH
ion by the late Mrs. william Aston.
Mrs. Vincent .Astor has the perfect
poise. the delicate tact and quiet as
surance that come from birth and
breeding rather than ron education
or experience. Sn" l. without amy trace
of pos" or affcctatiou.
Entirely simple IL ser pleasant man
ncr. She H.. Is j. natural ia a young
matrOn Of such lineage, strongly
avcrsc to "verything that savors even
in tho slightest degree Of vulgar
ustentatioii. She conveys the impress
sion Of being I'm no way hardened
by any sense of the colossal character
OF the .istor fortune. Her parents We're
rich enough 10 satisfy any wilkins or
caprices which si, may have enter
tanned as a young girl. and II she
gave her hand to Vincent Astor and
consented To become his wife it was
not because nc was the greatest prize
Of his day in the matrimonial market
The sun., 1916-10-01

but because they had been friends ana
playmates and n~eighbors from their
earliest childhood.
Tho fact that they were Thoroughly
acquainted Ions beforehand with their
respective tastes n character indi-
Gated that their union was based not
merely on love and affection. but also
on mutual sympathy. They were not
required to learn to know each other
after plighting their troth mt the altar.
as Is 40 often the case; and the fact
that In spite of their youth they are
such old friends and chums gives
plenty Of promise that their marriage
will prove n very happy one in every
respect.
In some respects the reign OF Mrs.
Vincent Aston, who now as wife Of the
head of the only American branch OF
the Astor family has become the"
Mrs. Astor. * likely to prove even
more brilliant than h a OF her hus-
bands celebrated grandmother. who
"a Aunt Carrie" to all that was best
born in New York society. For the
late Mrs. AstOr had only half OF the
mansion at so Fifth avenue for her
Entertainments and Inequalities.
whereas the entire building is now nj
the disposal OF the young chatelainc,
tho two adjoining houses having been
transformed into one OF the statcliest
residences that racc the east side OF

No mere man can fill the post Of
ru.'r of society, at any rate IN New

able To WELD "A supremacy of this kind
