Years of Incompatibility Such as to i ; Make Reconciliation Impossible, j Declares Noted Society Ma ' Iron, London Favorite. LOXiDOX, July 28. (Special.) Mrs. Ava Astor, better known as the wife who divorced Colonel John Jacob Astor, the cynosure of all-London society matrons Jot the past few months, sailed today or Xew York aboard the Mauretania. Tills statement would mean little if it did not connect her name with a rec 'onciMatlon, as gossip was heard today. , Cupid, however, will be foiled, so says. Mrs. Astor however. At least, she told an Intimate friend, Just before sailing; that there was no probability of a rec- ' onclliatlon. Cupid to Be Foiled. "Our separation came after years of incompatibility." said Mrs. Artor, "and you know I would not go back to that old life again." , The smart set of London regrets the departure of Mrs. Aetor. for during the past season she has been the leader in no small way of everything social. So ciety has copied her gowns, her hats and the way she dresses her hair. Mrs. Astor Is going direct to New port on her arrival at Xew York and will pass the Summer at the Summer home of her brother. Barton Willing, who ha opened it for her. Mrs. Astor has told friends here that she Intends to re turn in October for golf at Xorth Ber wick, where she has acquired quite a reputation on the green. Position I'nlque In Society. Unlike many American divorcees. Mrs. Astor position immediately following her seipnration from the Colonel, and her arrival here, was unique, in that London society at first looked askance on the Artor divorce. Mrs. Astor was not at firet admitted to the "charmed circle" of London so ciety. Why? Xobody knew, nor did anyone express even a theory. The gos sips were stilled, apparently by the gracious manner in whioh the divorcee carried herself. She was apparently not desirous of re-entering society as the Kame is Dlaved hrA "Mv-m a ..f- rt j acted herself, was agreeable to every- one, old friends and new, and it was not Ion before she was taken back with ouen arms by the noted "charmed circle." which now knows her as "one of ours," even so far as to copy her in many . things in which the beautiful Ava Wil- ling Astor is the leader. Among those who were at the boat to day to hid Godspeed to Mrs. Astor. were members of fashionable society including the Duchess of Marlborough, Lady Wil . loughby Devesby, ber ftlster. Lady Allttair Kerr; Lady Islington. 'Mrs. Waldorf Astor, t who "was one of those beautiful Iang 4 horne sisters of Virginia." and the -, Duchess of Portland, who has been one ; of Mrs, ARtor's most frequent guests at ; her little dinners here on Hill street. , Mrs. Astor's Dinners Famous. Speaking of Mrs. Astor's dinners, it might be worth while to mention, now . that the modest matron is gone, that no smarter parties were given here the past season than Mrs. Astor's, in her home where gaslight is still used and the rooms are dismantled of most of the treasures belonging to Lady Sackvllle, its owner. Yet these drawbacks did not interfere one lota with the success of the parties which were always attended by young and old, by all admirers of the "famous 'Mrs. Astor." who "isn't going to rerved the Colonel" but will return here ivx; , season to entertain and be entertained. TAnd London society again breathes ifreely. , NOVELIST GOES ON STAGE Laura Jean I.ibby at 48 to Make '' Debut on Koof Garden. NEW YORK, July 28.

June 11. i (Special. ) After a desperate struggle , with the Chulttna River, we have ar rived at a point so near Ruth Ulacler that we can begin to anticipate suc cess in our enterprise. One must re member what Mount McKinley is, to appreciate the magnitude and fierce current of the Chulitna River. Again and again, we threw ourselves into me rusning torrent, only to be driven back as soon as we approached the box canyon aDout tnree ml lee above Tal keetna. MRS ASTOHWON For a few days we abandoned the river, and essayed to relay our outfit by packing it overland. As this would Involve walking, or more fitly called climbing and struggling on hands and knees through deep snow and nearly impenetrable forest underbrush some 360 miles, we gave it up as impossi ble. . . . Were we at last brought to bay, and our , purpose defeated? We seriously asked ourselves, this question, but there was not a dissenting answer. Each one replied, not while strength remains and the Summer lasts. There upon we feund and hired an Indian guide. and aided by . his marvelous skill and courage we ascended the glacial torrent in our boat, and brought a part of our supplies. We only reached this -camp yester day, and Alec, the Indian, is ready to go back for the rest of our outfit, which he promises to bring up the river in a few days, so I .have only time to announce the passage of the greatest difficulty we expect to en counter between the sea and the top of Mount McKinley. In the meantime, we shall continue our march across f 4 J is J ! I !
