CHANGES IN LEADERS SINCE MRS.
ASTOR’S DEATH.
Mrs. Ogden Goelet, Mrs. Roberts and
Young Mrs. Astor—Who Will Wear
Mrs. Astor’s Mantle.
New Yokk, Dec. 34.—1n the death of
Mrs. John Jacob Astor, New York has lost
its most prominent and popular leader. A
thorough lady in the best acceptation of the
word, Mrs. Astor held, by her own graces
and wealth, the position which none ever
disputed. In her death we cannot but feel
that much of the social dignity of New
York has gone, and we look about ttfe so
cial circle to see upon whose shoulders the
mantle of her goodness, retlnement and
position may fall. Of course, Mrs. William
B. Astor, the sister-in-law of the deceased
lady, will at once be accorded the first place,
but she has so long held her position al
most side by side with Mrs. John Jacob Astor
that it is no new thing to look upon her as a
leader.
Wd Jm
The accompanying picture is of Mrs. Astor,
taken some years ago. It is from a portrait
by Huntington.
The question has been often asked if we
are deteriorating in courtesy, if the second
generation is not more frivolous, if they
do not rather scoff at conven
tionalities which are made rigid
rules in society ? We may not still re
tain the formal stiffness of our grand
mothers, or even our mothers, but there are
young and beautiful ladies who, by right of
their p; sltion, may be looked upon as prob
able leaders of society in the near future
and to whom the children of to-day will
look for example and guidance. They are
t he dowagers of the future.
Naturally the daughters of Mrs." William
B. Astor occur to us. They are all three
bright, clever young women, and more than
usually good-looking. * The elder, Mrs.
Roosevelt, was Miss Helen Astor; her hus
band is of the old New York family, whosj
name he bears. He has an ample fortune as
bas hi3 wife. She is dignified yet kind
hearted.and isalwavsapowerinsociety. The
second daughter, Augusta,named for the lady
who has just died, is" the wife of Oleinan
Dravton. Ho is a lawyer, and their home is
on Fifth avenue. Mrs. Orme Wilson, the
third daughter, was formerly Miss Carrie
Astor. Ail of these young matrons are
well equipped for the social greatness that
is theirs, and which is likely to be enhanced
*a the future.
MRS. MARSHAL O. ROBERTS.
Mrs. William Waldorf Astor, whose hus
band is a#ou of the recently deceased Mrs.
Astor, is a blight, sparkling, pretty woman.
She was Miss Mary Patti, of Philadelphia,
and her family is well-known in the Quaker
City. She is a devoted mother to her two
or three little children, but she is also fond
of society. She has a gentleness of manner
and cordiality that do not denote the
ruler, but she is innately a lady, and by
her position she vvill always hold a promi
nent nlaco, even though she does not aspire
to rule.
MRS. HENRY CLEWS.
Mrs. Marshal O. Roberta, whose home is
In the plain but massive-looking building
corner of Fifth avenue and Eighteenth
street, aspires to be a social leader. She is a
tell, distinguished-looking woman, with an
imperious manner to all slave her iutiinates.
She is the widow of Mr. Roberts, many
times a millionaire. She was his third
'' *nd was a Miss Endicott. a cousin to
tjo Secretary of War. Though past 40,
•urs. Roberts is still young and very hand
some. .She is an imposing figure at the
opera; is ahvavs at the leading society
events.entertainsinthemost lavish manner,
and while much sought ttftev does not possess
that tact to win all hearts so necessary to
one who would become au acknowledged
leader. However, by her wealth, beauty
and position she will always remain a per
sonage in New York society.
Mrs. Hedry C’lews Is another possible
leader, as she is already popular. She has
much dignity, and bas both wealth and
beauty. Nho has a great charm of manner
that is very captivating. She is the wife of
the well-known hanker, Henry Clews. Their
home is on Fortieth street, a fewdeors from
Fifth avenue, opposite the reservoir.
Mrs. Clews is a Kentuckian. Her name
was Lucy Madison Worthington. Both she
and her sister, who was afterward Mrs.
Secretary Belknap, always attracted much
attention wherever they went for their
great beauty, She is tall, queenly, with
dark hair and eyes, and a tinge of pink in
her complexion" that comes and goes as she
converses. She is a woman fond of study
and the serious side of life, while she thor
oughly enjoys society. She gives one the
appearance she was born to rule. Their
home is complete with costly and rare
bjlonrfngs, that mark it as a home of
wealth. It is a fitting place to entertain
sumptuously.
f . 4 y
MRS. OGDEN GOELET.
Nil's. Robert Goelet is already one of the
leaders of society. She, with her husband
and family, occupies the very spacious and
magnificent mansion corner of Forty-eighth
street and Fifth avenue. People often stop
to look at the beautiful stained glass window
in the front hall, which mav be seen from
the street. It represents King Henry V. on
bis famous white charger, and is one of
the finest specimens of stained glass in the
city. Mrs. Goelet is a haughty, imperious
woman, but attractive to her intimates. She
is not a handsome woman, although by her
force of will she brings people under her
sway and fascination. She was the eldest
daughter of George Henry Warren. whos9
home is also on Fifth avenue. Her sister-in
law, Mrs. Ogdon Goelet, was Miss Wilson,
of Fifth avenue, whose brother married
Miss Carrie Astor. She asjiires to rule,
and has the wealth and position to do so.
She is a recognized leader, and has been
conspicuous iu English society having
entertained H. R. H. the Prince of Wales at
Cowes, on board her husband’s yacht, the
Norseman.
WARD M'ALLISTER.
One cannot refrain from speaking of Mr.
Ward McAllister in connection with society
leadership. He it is who is the guide and
mentor of society. His social laws are as
severe as were those of the Medes and Per
sians. He says who shall and who shall not
be invited to "the leading parties and balls.
He it is who revises lists of acquaintances of
those who by accident have become ac
qainted with “detrimentals.” The last two
or three seasons he has mingled less with the
gav world and his absence has been felt,
people securing invitations to the Patri
archs that never before dreamed of getting
them.
Mr. McAllister is a Southerner by birth.
He is a lawyer by profession, and his brother.
Hall McAllister, is the leading lawyer in
San Francisco. Mr. McAllister belongs also
to the famous Kentucky Ward family. His
home is on Sixteenth street, just east of
Fifth avenue. His wife, who is also of
Southern birth, is devoted to her home and
family and goes little into society.

PLAYING SANTA CLAUS.
By George A. Meekins, in the American
Santa Claus is in many parts and of an
unknown quantity. His jubilee is the one
red letter day of all others in the year. The
young joyfully look forward to las coming,
and to the old he brings sweet reminis
cences. While a great blessing, he occa
sionally leaves remorse with those who per
sonate him. At least such was the exper
ience of Christopher Columbus King. Lum
King, as the town people called him for
short, was, previous to this mishap, a good
natured, overgrown country fellow. He
was heavy enough to be a President, and his
jovial disposition was the cause of
his great popularity. He had been
one of tho boys, but now was leading the
highest Sunday school class in the Method
ist church. This distinction gave him higher
ideas of life. He was in love, and that, too,
with pretty Sallie Ho.mes, the organist.
Sal lie was the niece of old long-legged Jimmy
Evans, one of the deacons of the church.
Now, old long-legged Jimmy was the one
thorn in Luro’s sunny life. The enmity
dated back n number of years. Old Jimmy
was lean and lank, and he had worked his
jaws on tobacco so much that he was as ca
daverous looking as a Florida alligator.
He always wore his pants tucked inti) his
large raw hide boots, anil decorated with
his old slouch hat he was a great deal more
picturesque than he was beautiful
On this Christmas Eve the Sunday school
was to have a Christmas tree, and cornuco
pias of sweetmeats and presents for each
member were to hang on its branches. Lum
was selected for the part of Santa Claus.
He hemmed and hawed over it for some
time, but tho minister kept pegging away
at him. Sally joined in the persuasion, and
one look from her settled the question. He
consented to fill the bill, provided that his
jiersonalitv was not to be revealed. The
duties were light, he thought, and then
there was a chance of getting along in
Sally's favor. He merely had to climb a
ladder to one of tbe pulpit windows, and.
during the singing of a Christmas carol, to
appear from behind tho curtain and make
himself interesting to the big and little
ones. .
lie determined fyont the start to be the
most successful Santa Claus ever known in
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY; DECEMBER 25, 188/.
that school, and to win Sally’s hand at the
same time, ltwaaina r.appy frame of mind
that be left the minister and Sally.
It was the flood tide in his life, lie
thought.
In strolling up the street his reveries were
shattered by a "Hello, Lum!" and the out
stretched hand of Josephus Hoozier, an old
friend and boon companion. The two were
soon shaking hands like brothers.
“When did yon git home?” asked Lum.
“To-day,” replied Seph.
“Only for the holidays'”
“Yes.”
Beph, say, I am mighty glad to see you.
You are just the feller In‘he right time.
The people up there to the church have got
me to lx- their Santa Claus this year, and 1
want you to back me up.”
“Why, certainly, old fellow, I’ll see you
through.”
“You see, Sepb, I am ’fraid old long
legged Jimmy will be up to some of his
shenanegins again, to even up with me.”
“What! Lum, ain’t you and him become
friends yeti Say, how about that circus,
anyhow ?’’
"Drat it, Sepb, you know all about it.”
“No.”
“Look here, Sepli, you’re kidding."
“It was none of his tarnel business, any
how,” said Lum, “it was the first elephant
I ever saw, and I was such a little taeker.
but ho thought it was a good joke because 1
turned around to Bill and said, ‘Jemmy
crickets, buddy, what.a big sheep.’”
“You got even with him, w.th Blizzard,
Lum, didn’t you, eh?”
“Poor ola Blizzard. We'll never play
pranks with him ag'in, Sepb. He is done
tor; the great effort of bis life killed him.
Blizzard was a mighty intelligeul goat. He
had more sense than long-legged Jimmy
ever will have. He—that is, old Jimmy,
you know—was sweet on my aunt then.
He grubbed with us occasionally. He
always got in one of them long prayers of
his’n. It was on a balmy summer day like
you read in books. I was ’bout as hungry
as you make ’em. Me and Blizzy had kind
of a previous conflab as how we’d break
that prayer up. ‘Lum, come on ill here
to prayers” called out luam. I went,
I left the door unlatched, and saw that old
Jimmy knelt with his face to the wall. Old
Jimmy was ’bout gitting down into the fur
rows, when Blizzard quietly pushed his
head in the door. He winked and 1 winked,
and—well, you’d died laughing if you’d been
there. It proved too much for Blizzard.
His conscience failed him after (hat. He
took on a reproachful look that never left
him until Gabriel called him.”
"How about the prayer, Lum.”
“Oh! Old Jimmy took another hold on
the reins, but the team was too fiery for him.
He let’em go when ho said: ‘O Lord, give
as oars of corn as long as your arm, and—
well, well, none of your nubbins.’ He never
come to our honse again, and I’ve kinder
been ticklish around him ever since.”
Columbus continued ventilating his mis
fortune and hopes, and told his friend all
about his new- found love for Sallie Holmes.
“You're kind o’ sweet on her yourself,
weren’t you, Seph?” he asked.
Sepb had nothing to say on that subject.
Lum, assisted by Sepb. made great prepara
tion for the Christmas ev mt. The para
phernalia of tiie Red Men’s tribe of the
town was ransacked for a. make-up. A big
hat was made of pasteboard and decorated
with tinsel. They manufactured the pre
scribed long whiskers. A bear rug was pro
cured to be thrown around the shoulders.
A girt of sleigh-liells, and one or two larger
bells completed the outfit, The time
came. Soph helped Lum into the toggery,
and escorted him to the staunch ladder
which had been procured. The cemetery
surrounded the church, and everything
amid the deserted rear of the edifice was
ghostly and desolate. It was a small church
iu a small town, and, of course, tho only
way for Santa Claus to Hppear was to get
into the back window by a ladder. At last
everything was iu readiness. Lum put his
foot on the first round of the ladder.
With a few words of instructions. Soph
disappeared in the darkness, presumably to
go arouud and enter tbe front part of the
church, and see how the thing took.
Full of anticipation of coming greatness,
Lum ascended the ladder. The wind gently
swayed his w bisters to and fro. and cooled
his heated brow. ■ The frosty air tinged his
nose and cheeks that rosy color that paint
cannot produce. Half waj' up the ladder
he thought he heard a noise from the grave
yard below.
"Is that you Seph?”
No answer.
Now, Lum, like all other takatiro indi
viduals, was not particularly brave. He
was a believer in ghosts, and afraid of
them. He was undoubtedly nervous when
he climbed into the window. The minister
thought it was natural, and tried to console
him. Lum duly made his appearance lx*
fore the crowded church room. He got
along swimmingly. He made the little
ones laugh. He carried out premeditated
jokes upon the others. Ho plucked a pretty
little package, and called out the name of a
gossipy sister who had no teeth, and, with
a graceful bow, handed her a box of scap
caramels. To old long-legged Jimmy he
gave a tin whistle and a canteen, in mock
courtesy, and so on, distributing his little
presents the most appropriate way he could.
Bally was not forgotten. As he handed
her a box of bonbons, she promised to let
him see her home.
Then his duties were over. The time for
his disappearance had come. He got on the
ladder, and with much trembling started
down. The big cow-bell he wore suddenly
jingled, and caused a cold chill to run
through his viens. He stopped and nerved
himself for the ordeal.
A deep moan came from a tomb below.
He began to tremble violently. He tight
ened and loosened his grip on the ladder in
turns.
Another moan, and still another mysteri
ous and blood-curdling sound.
One loud whoop and Lum let go every
thing, and went down that ladder like a log
down a toboggan slide.
A ghastly figure arose from the tomb and
confronted him.
One wild spring, and he cleared the church
yard fence, and down the street past the
church floor he went at break -neck speed.
Bally had promised to slip out ana meet
him at the door. She was there. He did
not see her or anvthing else. “Sakes alive.
What ails Lum King?” she inquired of Seph
Hoozier, as he nonchalantly appeared on
the wiene.
“Must’ave got ’em again, Bally,” he re
plied.
“I)o tell.”
“Now, Sallv, which am it, me or Lum:
You know I always was dead sot on you.”
“What’sthat, Seph?”
“You’re in love with him.”
“No."
“Come now, Bally, you know what I
mean. 1 come homo just to tell you life
without you is like a garden without sun
flowers.”
“Really, Beph!”
“Yes, will you love me, Sally?"
“You don’t mean it 1”
“Yes, 1 do.”
"Well, 1 am your’s Beph.”
Lum finally forgave Beph, and now has
consented to be her best man. He and old
Jimmy have buried the hatchet. It was a
hard rub for Lum, though, and it was a long
time before he could make the people believe
that he had not indulged any on that Christ
mas Eve. He is now a sober fellow and
takes a back seat in all Christmas jollifica
tions. __________
The Verdict Unanimous.

“The liest selling medicine I have ever
