24 : THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JANUARY 16, 1898.. MRS. WILLIAM ASTOR'S TRIUMPH OVER NEW YORK SOCIETY. ITHIN the weeis tn. greatest triumph ever known in the history of New York soclety | has been achieved by Mrs. | William Astor. | She is said to have rein-| stated her beloved daughter Augusta | in fashionable soclety. And not only has she persuaded fash- fon to again receive and acknowledge her daughter, but she has succeeded in gaining for that recognition the seal] and approval of the church. The most ous prelate of the most most famous church of New York City signified by his presence on the auspic- fous occasion that the past is to be| blotted out. Augusta Astor is the third daughter | of Mr. and Mrs. William Astor. It is rumored that she was ever the favorite daughter of her mother. At the age of | 19, when her stately mother was at the zeinth of her power as a soclety queen, the daintily lovely young girl—the pret- | tiest of the Astor daughters—was for- mally pr ted to the exclusive circles of New York's She stepped into from the| most strict and careful surroundin; ‘ to a good millions was 1 regime, and had the as to the education of of William -Astor’s of the o & young girl predicted the greatest pos- for a girl born under so many lucl With her beauty and accomplish- ments, backed by her mother's un- bounded prestige and her father's lim- itless wealth, a great marriage was ! confidently predicted for Augusta As- tor. All the eligible men in soclety were soon at the feet of the debutante. She might have thrown the handkerchief in any direction and a dozen slaves would have rushed to pick it up. Soclety was thunderstruck when Au- gusta Astor made her choice of a hus- band. J. Coleman Drayton of Philadelphia was a graduate of Princeton, quiet, stu- | dious, reticent. He had inherited little in life save an ancestral line. His peo- ple had always been members of ex- clusive society both in New York and Philadelphia. Young Drayton, unaided by great wealth, extraordinary attractions of face and figure, or fascinating man carried off the rich girl in New York society in the very teeth of gal- lants in every way better equipped than he for such a contest. Augusta Astor was the opposite of Coleman Drayton in every respect. She s fair, 1e Was pretty, he was | . vivacious and fond of society preferred dome But they were mar The Draytons went to housekeeping a house belonging For a time they to the brid father. lived happily togeth rton cared nothing for for the theater, the dinners and the vari- s of fashionable life. His books were his friends. His wife, as was perfectly natural to the daughter of probat the most bril- liant society woman w York has ever seen, cared inten y for the round of pleasure pursued by fashionable people. The very functions that S0 O 0 e o000 TcsocCoocoQ Ly ccooeacoot cssee0sce0e bored her studious husband were her | delight. Husband and wife apart—imperceptibly at manifestly. In 1886 Mr. Drayton decided to re- move his wife from the diversions and ainment of city life. He pur- place at Bernardville, N. J. Drayton was suddenly taken the environments to which she alway been accustomed and to the dreary confines of bucolic existence. Her husband was a great deal. She was alone; she s young and longed for diversion | and excitement. | Now loomed upon her horizon a| shadow no bigger than a man’s hand, but destined to grow and assume pro- portions so gigantic as to darken her | whole life. The Draytons had a neigh- bor young, athletic and lively—Hal- lett Alsopp Borrowe. ¥ came of good famil man, had self- urance and a certain amount of swagger. He and M yton soon became friends.

Rumor had a hundred tongues, | and it soon became noised about in so- | clety that the Draytons were getting | on badly indeed. About this time Mrs. Drayton left her husband’s house in Bernardsville, and went to her father’s home at Rhinebeck, where she rer eral weeks. Mrs. Astor wd perturbed at this and lost no time in t the Draytons to- | gether. A peace was at last patched up and after spending a few weeks together in New York the Draytons salied for | England, taking their four children with them.

John Jacob Astor has also stood by his sister loyally: When her father cut her off in his will her brother came for- | ward at once and generously bestowed | a million upon Mrs. Drayton. From | start to finish of this remarkable story | young Mr. Astor has apparently been | the only man among the lot who takes toward women that attitude of chiv- ' 1 not only has Mrs. Drayton’s mother be- alry and devotion for which Americans | are noted. | For several years Mrs. Drayton has lived abroad, quietly and unostenta- | tiously, biding her time. She has known what was her mother's dearest ambition, and comprehending perfect- 1y the amazing tact, patience and dip- | lomacy back of it, has been quite con- | tent to leave her future in Mrs. Astor’s | hands. Last summer Mrs. Astor made the first attempt to carry society by storm for her daughter. Mrs. Drayton visit- ed her mother at Newport and was seen constantly driving with Mrs. As- tor. It was well understood in Newport society that any one who tabooed Mrs. Drayton would be persona non grata to the lady who has so long wielded the scepter of leadership. But society was . “not recetved with ston won her suit. Mr. | Mrs. Drayton was N : srnrp({ by the Chancellor | open arms in Newport. Mr:?.

Seve- ral people went, not knowing they were | to meet Mrs. Drayton. It is said that many were very in- dignant when they discovered that the lady was receiving w th her mother. In- deed it is even whispered that one or two very important pecple left sudden- ly and in great anger. Mrs. Astor was manifestly convinced that the hour had not struck for her great coup. So this' modern feminine Napoleon accepted the repulse grace- fully and fell back with small loss. But she was not conquered. Invin- cible and skillful, she at once set about her plans for another campaign. Never did she falter in her determination; never did she lay down her weapons. On December 17, 1897, Mrs. Astor’s forces were strengthened. Mrs. Cole- man Drayton was married in St. Co- lumbia’s Church, London, to George Haig, a wealthy whisky merchant Not more than thirty people were present, but all fashionable and fam- ous. After a wedding trip to Paris and Nice Mr.«and Mrs. Haig came to New York. Mrs. Astor decided that it was now time to move on the enemy’s works. ‘With masterly generalship she planned a superb dinner for her daughter and her new son-in-law. To this dinner were bidden the most exclusive of the inner circle of that so- ciety over which Mrs. Astor holds sway. But it remained for Mrs. Astor to forever settle her daughter’s place in her world ‘through the tacit indorse- ment which unquestionably was given to Mr: Haig's rentree, not alone by the presence of the Bishop of the Dio- cese of New York, but also by that of his wife. So last week with music and flowers and golden plate and glittering crystal, wiih ripples of melodious laughter and soft murmurs of congratulation, with all the gentle arts of peace, and with- out the 'sound of a single gun, Mrs. Astor captured society for her daugh- ter, Mrs. Augusta Haig of London. 0000000000000 000000 o [x] © o ] [x] HE past week has been marked by an unusual preparation for brilliant affairs to come.
