VINCENT ASTOIVS TACT
Owing to the prominence of tho
lato Col. John Jacob Astor in both
social and financial circles, incidents
that occur every day in the lives of
thoso loss prominent and aro hardly
thought of in his case assume al
most a national interest. His
memory is honored and his last
glorious and heroic deed will in the
years to come be referred to with
reverence by thoso who were kin to
him.
Another phaso of the family char
acter, one that shows unusual con
sideration, thoughtfulness, and a
son's lovo, is shown by Mr. Vincent
Astor, tho son of tho late colonel.
Young Mr. Astor was placed in a
very delicate position at a time when
his own grief was great, but he arose
to tho occasion. It was at his
father's funeral. His own mother
did not attend it. His young stop
mother did. Young Mr. Astor was
tenderly attentive to the young
widow, showing in every way he was
sincere in his attentions to her.
After tho sad services wero over
and young- Mrs. Astor had been taken
to her home, then the son sought his
mother and gave her all the consola
tion ho could and undoubtedly re
ceived that motherly lovo which is
shown only in moments of great dis
tress. The ve.ry pathetic features of this
case call attention to tho unnatural
conditions that are likely to arise in
any family in which there has been
a divorce and another marriage.
They should cause thoso thinking of
separation to hesitate before taking
such drastic action. Young Mr.
Astor has shown how a dolicato situ
ation can-, be successfully met.
