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. Betsy O’Dowd. 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. W. D. Suit, druggist, Bippus, Ind.. test! flee; “I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheuma tism of ten years’ standing. Abraham Hare, druggist, BeUville, Ohio, affirms: “The liest selling medicine I have ever handled in my 30 years’ experience is EJec trie Bitters.” Thousands of others have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure ail diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood.
