What the grandfather did for art she will do for the general upliftment of the mass The nun nery will appeal to her much more than the drawing-room. Her life is essentially mysterious, the pendu lum that moves the hand on the dial of destiny swings hither and yon, and the bent more often than not will be toward the quarter of the unconventional and the unexpected. “I am much disposed to judge this 1915 love affair as being the great disappointment in her life, but just the same an open sesame to the more serious perspectives—an epi sode marking a transitional process that will have a much deeper sig nificance than will be quite under stood at the time. “Some marked disturbances show in the next two months, particularly at or near the close of August.

This Includes unusual social activ ity, with preferment of the same nature. December brings ill health; likewise loss of a very dear friend ” The celestial bodies are apparent ly quite positive in predicting excit ing adventures at sea and more than one sentimental encounter for Miss Jane before 1916, One might argue a probability from these pre dictions that she w’ould be wrecked on a desert island and be roman tically rescued by a young man, who would receive the reward he de served. The stars do not supply all these details, and it is useless to question an astrologer too closely. As Miss Morgan is the richest de butante in America, it is safe to pre dict that several gentlemen with coronets will be paying attention to her before 1916. It is noteworthy that she spends a great deal of time upon the ocean. She crosses the Atlantic usually twice a year. Since the death of her grandfather her father has become the owner of the Corsair, one of the largest private yachts in the world She has always spent a great deal of time on this. When aboard the Corsair she is always guarded with remarkable care and never allowed on deck without a special com panion. Old Mr. Morgan loved to have little Jane with him on the yacht, although he did not care for large family parties. The members of the crew were always selected after long investigation by the captain, who had been with Mr. Morgan for twenty years. It was noticed that after the accident to the little Russian Czare vitch on the Czar's yacht Mr Mor gan took even greater precautions than ever. The coal bunkers were searched before sailing, and it has been said that every bit of fuel taken aboard was carefully screened under the eye of a detective. Strange to say, the Titanic disas ter occurred immediately after her debut last year. As her grandfather was the principal owner of the line and knew intimately the ill-fated Captain Smith, the tragedy threw a shadow over her coming-out festivi ties. Some of them were abandoned. The astrologer concludes with some further interesting observa tions about Miss Jane "Her horoscope implies longevity to the father. Certainly a marine disaster in 1916, when Saturn crosses her Mars in a watery sign "She could easily develop the lit erary faculty, and will contribute to the literature of such movements as she becomes interested in. “She will wear a coronet—and eventually throw it in the dust-heap. She has too much of the grandfath er's practicality to admire the tinsel, and too much of the humanitarian to waste time on a butterfly existence. “I don’t get the father’s influence very strongly in this horoscope— some barrier there. The senior J. P. Morgan was her idol, and ever will Snapshot of Miss Jane Morgan Just Taken at Newport. The First Photograph of Her Ever Published. M' riss JANE MORGAN, the old est granddaughter of the late J. Pierpont Morgan, pre sents a mystery that society has puzzled over for many years—nearly all her life, in fact. Although the eldest daughter of the present head of the house of Morgan, who was the late financier’s only son and principal heir, and the richest debu tante in the country, Miss Jane is the least known and the most mys terious. With the enormous fortune and powerful influences of the Mor gan family it would seem that this young girl might be one of the hap piest and gayest of human beings, that her life must have been one of complete freedom and happiness. The opposite has been true, how ever. There is no princess in Europe hedged about with the conventions that surround royal persons who has not had more freedom and inde pendence than this American dollar princess. While society has realized that the Morgans were tremendous ly careful of this young girl, it was never sure just how r far the grand father was instrumental in the espionage that puzzled them. The girls who came out last year, when Jane made her debut, speedily saw that she was not allowed the privi leges that they were. She could not belong to the Junior League, nor to the popular dancing classes; she • never went to a 4ig football game, to college sports of any kind where there would be great crowds. When she walked on Fifth avenue she was invariably heavily veiled, and always walking a few paces back of her was a husky man servant or a special detective or two. This curious state of affairs naturally caused gossip among her friends, and the general public, which al ways hears snatches of social gossip audibly, wondered whether the young heiress to much of the Morgan wealth was deformed or in ill health. Since the death of her grand father there has been some relaxing of the mysterious vigilance which has marked her life since she was five years old. For the first time in her life she has been allowed to visit away from home witihout a member of her family at her elbow. She has been visiting the Lewis Cass Ledyards at Newport. Mr. Led- yard is the Morgan family lawyer, and there has always been a close friendship between the two families. But until this season Miss Morgan has not been permitted to stay with them She did not make the trip to Newport by train, but on board the splendid steam yacht Oorsair, which belonged to her grandfather and .which he left to his only son. This visit has roused almost as much gossip as the former vigilance and the peculiar care of the past. Was it all because the grandfather was afraid of some evil befalling his favorite? Pierpont Morgan was the greatest financier in the world. he was one of the most pow’erful men in the world, he naturally had many enemies, and among the poorer people all over the world he was feared and hated for his wealth. Was he afraid that some one of these people might harm the being he cared most for in the world? It would seem so. Else why the great mystery? As a child, after her parents re turned to this country to live, she was not allowed to play in the parks with other children of the same so cial standing and wealth. Just be fore the Morgans left London their house w r as entered by burglars. Nothing of great value was taken, but there were evidences that the burglars had invaded the nursery where the little heiress was sleep ing. They were frightened away by servants, and the supposition has al ways been that they wanted to kid nap the child All the mysterious espionage of this very mysterious young girl dates from that time. Therefore, when she was brought to New York her grandfather had made for her a special playground worth several millions, where she played under the watchful eyes of half a dozen men servants and nurses. To do this he tore down the splendid mansion which he had given to the Herbert Satterlees for a wedding gift, and on the site was created the most costly garden in the world for its size. Her little cousins, the Satterlee children, have never been restricted in the least; they play with other children as they please and are even allowed to stick their tongues out at strangers, as can be seen in the picture shown here. What a contrast to Miss Jane, who until her visit to Newport was not permitted to walk unveiled on the streets, and the camera man fortu nate enough to snap her w ould never have been allow-ed to publish the picture. But, after all, just why all this mystery? Can it be explained in a perfectly natural manner, or has it been because of a plain everyday fear of kidnapping, or has there been some deep mystery connected with it? There are friends of the family who believe that the stars and heav enly bodies have decreed a very strange destiny for Miss Morgan, and that her parents, holding similar views, are • guarding her with spe cial care on that account. In order to find out what the astrological view of Miss Morgan’s future might be, a well-known New York astrol oger, Professor Leo Bernart, was asked to cast her horoscope. After ascertaining that she was born on June 13, 1893, the astrologer imme diately remarked that her destiny was an extraordinary one "A most peculiar combination of the celestial arbiters is presented in this nativity; a veritable Chinese puzzle, as it were.’’ he wrote. “The sixteenth degree of Cancer rising in fble T>nt1 prb«»TT»0 i«5 rOTTlTnontP^ Mabel Morgan Satterlee and Helen Satterlee, Also Grandchildren of Pierpont Morgan.

Mis* Jane Morgan’s Horoscope Cast by Prof. Leo Bernart, Which According to That Eminent Astrolo ger Shows That a Strange Destiny Awaits Her. Miss Morgan and her remarkable grandfather referred to by the as trologer is very noteworthy, and is confirmed by all who have had an opportunity to study the family. Can it be that the curiously reserved and thoughtful-nature of the young girl is due to her absorption in the Na poleonic plans and ambitions of her deceased grandparent? She has spent hours and hours in the wonderful city garden which lies between the houses of her much anxiety A man gained ad mission to the Morgan bouse at No. 13 Prince's Gate on the pre tense that he was employed by the telephone com pany. His peculiar actions at the telephone aroused the suspicions of an intelligent servant, who caused his arrest. He turned out to be a desperate criminal named George Howard, who maintained a fine country house on the proceeds of his crimes and robberies in many places « Afterward the family came to New York and occupied the house on the southeast corner of Madison avenue and Thirty-seventh street. The elder ter Jane could play in seclusion and security that Mr Morgan pulled down the $1,000,000 Satterlee man sion and laid out there a splendid Italian garden, protected by a heavy bronze fence and a thick hedge from curious eyes. On the south side of the block he built his library, and east of that a new house for the Satterlees. It is estimated that he spent upward of $5,000,000 in real estate on this block. The strong desire of the junior Pierpont Morgans to keep their daughter secluded was again shown when they started to build a new country house two years ago They built it on East Island, on Long Island Sound, a place that could only be reached by a private yacht. There they have just completed a splendid but severe mansion in the The Corsair, Pierpont Morgan’s Great Yacht, in Which Miss Morgan Has Spent Much Time.

These buildings are filled with the treasures of art which absorbed all Pierpont Morgan's interest in later life. If ever a man returns to earth, it is here that the great collector’s Pierpont Morgan lived in the house on the lower corner of the block, at Thirty-sixth street.

It is understood that the older Pierpont Morgan’s place, Cragston, near Highland Falls on the Hudson, was considered an unsuitable place for Miss Jane, as it was exposed to wandering in truders Now U us hear wliu, — . oger's horoscope has further to say concerning Miss Morgan’s future; “Danger confronts her on the wa ter; yachting cruises had best be avoided in so far as the social exi gencies will permit, and when in contact with that element I would suggest particular caution. This peculiarity enters into even the ner vous organism, the correspondence being psychical, with a susceptibil ity to organic ailments of which the orthodox physician will know little and understand less. “Mars rises in her house of life, show-ing a predilection for the gym nasium, though by no means athlet ically constituted, and not a little danger arises from this point in the way of calamity or explosion. Her life on shipboard will ever be fraught with more or less anxiety, though fortified against disaster till 1916, when grave danger arises from a seafaring trip. This will be in Orien tal waters, and implies a shipwreck. “In the same angle of the horo scope sits Venus in conjunction with Mercury, a tendency to the quaint and the antiquated, and which would have made her a right-hand helper' to the grandfather in his penchant for articles of vertu. “A great humanitarian work ties before her, but a crisis in the life will need be passed ere this inter est manifests The Summer ahead promises a depletion of the physical vitality, but more pronounced in this respect in June, 1914, when Saturn crosses her Sun. somewhat anticipated by a similar transit over the Moon In the meantime the health calls for careful attention. "But above all is this peculiar, fateful tendency to happenings of mystery, so prominently indicated in the zodiacal degree rising at birth. This will be partially cor roborated in an affectional attach ment that enters her life in 1915. a mesalliance that will be precipitated because of social reasons, and which will demonstrate to her that the lamp of Aladdin cannot include ev erything in the compass of its rays. This union, while of social promise and duly inscribed in the codex heraldia. will be surrounded by some inexplicable arrangement that fails to hold, and with an aftermath as a means to bring her into the char itable and humanitarian grooves to which her later life will be con secrated. “This latter will come through an Richest of Debutantes, but the Least Known, the Loneliest and the Most Unhappy—Can the Stars Explain Why This Heiress Is Guarded More Jealously Than Any Royal Princess? on by a high astrological authority: ‘This is a blank degree.’ What this implies I cannot say, as the books are mysteriously silent about this degree. There is mystery about the number four and its square. I may add that, despite the favors accord ed by Fate, the life is disturbed by unforeseen incidents, happenings difficult to be guarded against. "She is a lunar child, and the in stability of that orb will be peculiar ly manifest at its different phases, bringing with them a nervous irri tability as the result of extreme sensitivity, a concomitant of the lunar and fluidic nature. Many very palpably strange incidents in the past life, if looked into, will be found answerable to this synodic law of the lesser luminary. “Just as strange and unaccount able will be some of the future de velopments, but ever along that mystic plane so little understood or deferred to by the pseudo-scientist. An external an^ a subjective con sciousness belong in a measure to every individual—the varying per centages especially to this horo scope. She lives much in the past, with a retrospective view given to every problem. The antique and the historical have a particular interest, and in this connection I would say that she is a child of that remark able grandparent much more than of the immediate lineage. The blood of many nations courses through her veins, making of her a child of most singular destiny because of this pe culiar blood amalgamation, and the outworking of past or karmic prob lems.’’ The astral affinity between young can imagine his sensitive young granddaughter lingering in the gar den in the twilight communing with him about the things he loved so well. Miss Morgan is the oldest child of J. Pierpont Morgan, the only son of the noted financier. Her mother was Miss Jane Norton Grew, of an old Boston family. Her father re ceived the greater part of his fath er’s estate, which was worth prob ably $200,000,000- She is destined to inherit a large share of this. In early childhood she lived -in London.
