Ho was extremely "eligible" before he became the head of the house of Astor. He is doubly so now. Scores of designing mothers havo been preening their daughters In an ef fort to capture him. They consider the present time, when he is grief-stricken over th death of his father, whom he idolized, as fraught with possibilities.

The founder was Miss Anna Jarvls. who conceived the flower-wearing idea In the desire to commemorate the anniversary of her mother's death. Following this she wrote a letter to a Philadelphia news paper suggesting the observance of the day by everyone.
