FOR YOUNG ASTOR May Have Time in Securing + Divine to Tie \uptlal s | Knot. LONDON, March 9.—The engagement | of Waldorf Astor and Nannie Langhorne | Shaw wag a great surprise to the friends | of both. There is considerable speecula- | tion here regarding the attitude of young | Astor’s father. It is noteworthy that his newspiper, the Pall Mail Gazette, does | not announce the engagement, as it did in the case of Captain Spender-Clay and Miss Pauline Astor. This fact takem in connection with current reports, is re- garded as indicating that he does not ap- prove of it. The date and place of mar- riage have not yet been learmed. If it takes place in the diocese of London it | will probably lead to another conflict similar to that which followed the mar- riage of 'W. K. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Rutherford. The aversion of the Bishop of London to the remarriage of divorced persons is notorfous and is widely shared by the clergy of the United Kingdom. They have legal discretionary power to re- fuse to solemnize a marriage of divorced persons, but they cannot prevent use of their church for a marriage ceremony. This, however, applies to those diverced by English courts. In case of divorced foreign persons special license may be necessary to procure a church.
