Special Correspondence TO THE New YORK
HEsALp.
New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, Oct. 81.
The Cable law defining the status OF
foreign women marrying American hps-
bands has at least one peculiar effect
not expected by its framers--i. e.. as far
as French law is concerned il puts the
United States marriage laws in the same
category as two nations hitherto consid-
cred as uncivilized.
This was revealed when French legal
experts began TO study whether the
Cable law would really affect the status
of wives under French laws. and IL was
found that Napoleon /. in drawing up
the Civil Code still in use here had ac-
tually foreseen the possibility Of a Gable
law.
Article 10 Of the Napoleonic code dis
tinctly provides that French woman
marrying a foreigner only loses her
French citizenship in the event her hus-
bands country confers upon her. by rea-
son OF her marriage. the citizenship OF
that country. Thus all French wives of
American husbands. II married after the
coming into effect Of the Cable law.
will be entitled to obtain French pass
port and as the French Foreign office
will not refuse this. under the provisions
OF Article 10. there IS no need for the
American State Department TO include
French wives on the passport granted
by Washington TO American husbands.

probably wider and more numerous
than in any other New York family.
but John Jacob Astor, Jr. and Miss
Ellie Muriel Astor were the only con-
testants OF the will of their distant
Armstrong relative and they lost.
or Noted New York Ancestry.
James s. Armstrong was OF noted
New York ancestry. His grandfather
was Col. Henry Beekman Armstrong
and the Colonel was son Of Gen.
John Armstrong. a man of note dur
| ing and after the revolutionary war
period.
Margaret Beekman's family owned
the Beekman patent. now the town OF
Rhinebeck, N. Y. Mr.. Vincent Astor's
Ferncliff estate takes in a part of that
old patent. Margaret Beekman mar
ried Robert r. Livingston. and their
ninth child, Aida Livingston. sister OF
the celebrated Chancellor Livingston.
was married in 1889 to Gen. John
Armstrong. The daughter of Gen.
Armstrong and Aida Livingston was
the Margaret Aida Armstrong who
was married to William Backhouse
Astor, fourth child OF John Jacob AS
tor the first. in 1918. While the given
names of Margaret and Aida appear
I'm the names Of several feminine men,
bers of the circle to-day that of Arm
strong is rarely found Mr.. John
Armstrong Chanler is one Of the ex-
ceptions.
IF John Jacob Astor. Jr.. OF New
York lost in his claim for part of the
$4,000 from the estate of his Arm
strong relative he has recently been
more financially fortunate I'm other
directions. The income OF his side of
the family has been increased con-
siderably BY the time he shall have
reached his majority. eleven years
hence. he will find himself possessed
of the income from several millions OF
dollars.
BY a coincidence in the news his
name and that Of his second cousin
OF the same name. Major John Jacob
Astor Of the British branch OF the
family. have been brought into juxta-
position. On Thursday the latter con-
fessed to his constituency in Dover
that he was transferring his Ameri-
can wealth to England, and imme-
'diately there was revived an old bit
OF gossip that Major Astor's intention
to concentrate his, immense holdings
to England might involve certain
changes in the ownership OF the Wal
dorf-Astoria Hotel. which. since it's
opening thirty years ago. has been
the center of many important develop
ments in society.
Since the days of the opening Mr..
Albert Morris Bagbys musical morn
ings" have been fixtures there in
every succeeding December and jan
uary. These Bagby musicales are
even older than that. dating from the
more informal days in his studio in
Fifty-seventh street, and even earlier
in the Life Building in Thirty-first
street
Being so ingrancd in the winter
doings OF society there were many
expressions of surpriSe over a report
recently that this winter might see
the last OF the Bagby "mornings" in
the Waldorf Astoria at least because
OF possible changes in the ownership
OF the famous Astor property.
Mr. Bagby declared that the report
was as much Of a surprise to him as
to his friends. So far as he was con-
cerned he could see with his concerts
as far into the future as he can look
back into the past.

signature OF one OF the mOSt IdIHOuS
men in Colonial history. There are
many more whose unearned incre-
ments were founded with the revival
of trade in New York Immediately
following the Revolutionary War. 1t
was one Of these later families that
has just come to public attention
through routine of Surrogate's Of
flee and a subsequent court grind.
The family is that of Astor, and the
late member of the family circle con-
cerned was one of those men who be-
came almost completely submerged
in the rush of modern social life. His
name was James S. Armstrong.
James s. Armstrong. one of the very
numerous offshoots of the Astor fam
lily of the second New York genera
ton, died last summer In his home In
Red Hook, N. Y. leaving an estate
valued at s150.000. The residuary
egatee under the will was Mrs. Caro-
line Maui who had been Mr.. Arm
strong's housekeeper. On September
j. the Surrogate in Poughkeepsie ap-
pointed two guardians for John Jacob
Astor, Jr., and Miss Alice Muriel
Astor. The appointment was made in
proceedings to interpret the will OF
Mrs. Maui, the question being whether
or not the sum of $1,000 should go to
John Jacob Astor. Jr.. and Alice Mu-
riel Astor or to the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals"
II was affirmed in behalf of the late
Mrs. Maui that she had meant The
American Society for Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals" John Jacob As
tor, Jr., Ia a son OF the late Col. John
Jacob Astor and the present Mrs.
William *. Dick He is 10 years old
and a half brother of Mr.. Vincent
Astor, head of the American branch
of his family. Miss Alice Muriel Astor
is a daughter of the late Col. John
Jacob Astor and the present Lady
Ribblesdale. She is II years old and
is a full sister of Mr.. Vincent Astor.
Against the Astor Children.
Last Monday Surrogate Gleason in
Poughkeepsie decided against the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals got the $4,000. The law
yers for the minor Astor children
found. apparently. no basis for con-
testing the will of Mr.. Armstrong;
housekeeper In other regards.
No explanation was made in the
Surrogate's court why John Jacob
Astor, Jr, and Miss Alice Muriel As
tor. his half sister. were singled out
as claimants for the $4,000, as there
are in existence considerably more
than 100 members of the family who
might have had as we'll based claim
for this part Of the Armstrong section
Of the great Astor fortune. Appar-
cntly the others did not find It worth
while TO come forward.
Assuming that the sum Of money In
question might have been large enough
to make a legal fight worth while.
claimants for this floating portion of
the Astor fortune could have been

In our own city there are many splendid
