Mrs. Astor's Husband To-Be No Poor Man.!
Inherited Sugar Fortune of So, 600, 900
Childhood Friendship That Rip
ened Into Love at Later Meet.
ing Is Story Behind Engage
ment of Former Madeline
Force to William K. Dick.

New York, June 21-A childhood
friendship which ripened into love
when they met after years Of sepa-
ration is the story behind the en-
gagement Of Mrs. Madeline Force
Astor, widow of Col. John Jacob AS
tor, and William X. Dick, young mil
}ionaire vice president of the Manu-
facturers' Trust company.
BY becoming the wife of Dick Mrs.
Astor will sacrifice an income of $780,
900 year from the enormous trust
fund, left in her name by Col. Astor,
and the famous Astor home on Fifth
Avenue.
However she will not feel the
pinch Of want. Dick has never enjoy
cd the income of an Astor, but he has
a fortune of between $2,00O,000 and
$3,OO0.000 inherited from his grand
father, William Dick, one of the pio-
neer sugar retiners of this country.
William X. Dick, who is %, is an
active business man and official or
director in half dozen large cor
porations. .. ....
Like Mrs. Astor, who is now "a,
he spent his childhood in Brooklyn,
where he and the "pretty little
Force girl were playmates. As they
grew up their ways parted and there
was never the slightest hint that
they had ever been in love.
Then Madeline Force became the
wife of Astor, after courtship that
stirred society, because Mrs. Ava Will
ling Astor, the colonels first wife,
had obtained a divorce only a few
months before.
Although both families were Epis-
copalians, it was impossible to find
a clergyman of that denomination
who was willing to perform the mar
rage ceremony.
Finally the wedding was perform
ed by a Providence Congregational
clergyman, Sept 8, 1911, in the Astor
villa at Newport. a.
Col. Astor was AZ and his bride
20. One January "a they left New
York for tour of the Nile country
in Egypt. On their return they took
the Titanic. Col. Aston was drowned
when the snip went down, but MIS-.
Astor was saved.
After the young widows return to
New York, the colonels pOst-humous
son was born, August II, 1912. This
boy is well provided for in the col
onel's will, which sets aside trust
fund for any children that might be
born after Astor's death.
The marriage of Dick and Mrs. AS
tor came as a complete surprise to
society. The young sutton did his
counting so quietly not even his
friends suspected they were to be
married. .........

NAVY LOOKS TO FUTURE
Win Build Apartments Rather Than
Paw .Enormons" Rent in Town.

With an eye to economy and to en-
able the younger officers at the Naval
Academy to live within their means
the Government contemplates building
apartment houses within the enclosure
on the Naval Academy reservation.
This is forced upon the federal au-
thorities, it is said, because of exces-
sive rents charged out in town, and es-
pecially from the fact that ali naval
officers are requested to take year $
lease on the town houses, when their
term of attachment to daty here is un-
certain, and the officers families are
always away from the city from three
to four months in the year,
The rents required to be paid by the
younger officers are beyond the limit
of their income, when other necessary
expenses are included. The Govern
ment realizing this is considering the
building # apartment houses for the
accommodation of all officers stationed
here who are not provided houses
within the Naval Academy enclosure
