ASTORDIK © MARRGE TODAY Statute Fesveb Pes Postponement ™ Of Widow’s Wedding Until Next Thursday. | Quick - CHANGE MADE. | Mr. “Dick, “Prospective Bride- grqom, Expected at Bar Harbor Late To-day. BAR HARBOR, Me, June 19— Thalr secret programme thwarted hy the laws of Maine, Mrs. John Jacob , Astor and William Karl Dick have i postponed thelr marriage from to- ¥ @ey until Thursday, when the wed- Ging. will take place at 2 o'clock in Bt, Saviour's Episcopal Church, the Rev. A. C. Larned officiating. The bfide-to-be was almost in tears when she learned of the necessity for the change. The delay is caused by the fact that the Maine marriage laws, as ro. vised in 1918, require a lapse of five days after non-residents file their certificate of intention. Mrs, Astor made this discovery, when she went Saturday to the Town Clerk of Eden, The rebuff necessitated much tele- grapbing. Guests were hastily ad- wieed of the change of programme, and told not to come until Wednes- @ay, Hotel accommodations, engaged under promise of secrecy, were can- celled. Mr. Dick's private car, it ie said, was waiting to be attached in New York to the Bar Harbor train when the news reached him that the | wedding would have to be postponed. All Bat Harbor ts watchfully await- | toe the arrival of Mr. Dick to-day. ; He 18 @e&pected to reach Bar Harbor in ¢ime to attend an elaborate lunch- eon and yacht party given this af- ‘ ternoon by Mrs. Astor, at which for- {mal announcement of the coming } marriage will be mado. ‘< @till carrying out her determination to maintain the utmost privacy, Mrs, Astor refuses to make her altered plans public, To-day is her twenty- birthday, and it was for this he selected it for her wed- ding. There was some discussion of transferring, the ceremony to New York or Massachusetts, but it was Hay @ecided to postpone it, * At the church there will be neither “flowers nor music, Among the few guests present will be Mr. and Mrs. William H, Force, Mr. and Mrs. J. fy Dick, parents of the bride- groom; Mr. and Mrs, Horace Have- meyer, Mr. and Mrs. Kingston Macy, Seth Barton French, Scott Poyle, Miss Dorothy Sturgis, Lyman Kine, Archi- Yoajé ‘Harrison and Victor Cushman.

By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. T delteve in— No corsets. No high heels. No waist Une, Speaking of platforms, as we all have been for the last two weeks, these ere the sartorial planks offered to women by Beatrice Forbes-Robertson Hale. She proposed her platform, amid real enthusiasm, at the Biennial Convention of Women's Clubs recently held in New York. Mrs. Hale is a niece of the famous Eng- Meh actor, Sir Johnstor. Forbes-Robertson, and has won personal distinction as writer, lecturer, actress and Suffragift. But the role of dress reformer is a new one for her, and to-day I went to her charming home at Forest Hills, L. I., to find out just what ts her WADREDTEMMARSHALL plan for safe-and-sane feminine apparel, At the outset I discovered one delightful thing. Mrs, Hale's projected reformation in dress i not based on the Puritan principle that everything beautiful is wrong. Practically all the “common sense clothes” I exam- ined had this drawback—they were hideous. And neither intelligence nor emancipation justifies a woman for adding to the world’s terrifying total of ugliness. Mrs. Hale feels that way about it too. “When I began to study the question of women's dress,” she told me, “I soon found that in all projected reforms the matter of hygiene was too! strongly stressed. Of course hygiene must be the basis of all sane dress, but beauty is tremendously important, too. “| have never believed that women should Imit: men in the matter of clothes. 1 oan see many disadvantages and defects in the garments of the modern man. They are so ugly. And | while it’s all very well to wear a plain dark suit, like every- body eli plain dark euit, when going downtown to work, why shouldn't men have beautiful tivities, Without corsets she can sit cross-leqged on the floor with the children, or draw her feet up under her as she cuddles into the corner of a couch, or stand on one leg and hold up the opposite foot to lace her shoe.” Mrs, Halo, as she talked, gave illus- trations of all these cortsetless poses and possibilities, I'm bound to admit |that she was graceful.

Edmund Maher, aged twenty, a clerk for the City Record, who lived at No. 81 Broome Street, Brooklyn, was called out of the Old Homestead dance hall, No, 119 Driggs Avenue, last evening, and shot and killed, A woman told the police that she saw a girl in blue with white trimming running away from the hall with a} young man, Capt.
