Misunderstood Millionaire Astor and His Engaged Daughter Pauline

A London correspondent refutes claims that William Waldorf Astor is eager for his daughter Pauline Astor to marry into peerage. The piece portrays Astor as reserved, methodical, and protective of his family, detailing his estate atmosphere at Cliveden, charity habits, and clashes with the Thames Conservancy. It notes Pauline’s engagement to Capt. Spender Clay, his fortune from Bass' Ale, and hints at potential racing plans, while stressing Astor’s generosity and public misperceptions.

Seven Ambitions of Women in a Fragmented Ideal

The essay traces women’s shifting aims from romance to practical marriage. It follows how a young woman starts seeking mad love and being the sole center of a man’s life, then settles for fidelity, a realistic partner, and finally accepts life as it is. It notes how mothers steer daughters toward marriage with stable affection, domestic harmony, and a dowdy reality.
