WHEN ANNOUNCING THE BABY
There Are Various Ways of Spreading
the News of the Stork's
Visit
^ hen the stork visits a household
the most modish way of spreading the
new* of his call is by card announce
riant. This plan has the disadvantage
of delay, however, as there Is a mini- '
mum of time In which cards can be
engraved and mailed, not to mer.Mon
the fact that the oftlmes perplexing
question of naming the baby must be I
decided first.
One young couple, however, though 11
somewhat wastefully, overcame that
seemingly necessai'y delay by deciding
'hat if their "first" were a boy he
should be called, say, John Henry,
while if she happened to be the less
desired girl her nai te was to be, say,
t lementlne. So they had two sets of
earda engraved and ready for mailing
the moment that the exact status of
thing* was known. It would have
been dreadful, though, if in the inev-
itable household confusion the wrong
box of cards had been mailed and the
others thrown into the furnace before
the mistake was discovered.
So far as New York Is concerned, it
Is those of European birth or parent-
age who most frequently make the
paid public announcement. Sometimes
they are amusing in their frankness
and ingenuousness. These sometimes
contain the postlude. "Mother and son
doing well," and one started oft with
the words: "A loving daughter born
to. The climax was capped, howev-
er, by one the other <Jay that closed
iu this wise:
"A 12-pound boy. Thanks to Drs.
So and So and Such and Such and to
Mrs. Blank."

WHEN ASTOR SOLD REALTY
Only Sale Ever Recorded In John Ja-
cob's Life Was to His Son, and
the Consideration One Dollar.
'One of the most stringent real es-
tate rules of the Astor family is 'never
sell, and only one sale 1b recorded in
the ^entire life of old John Jacob As-
tor, said Xiles F. Watkins, a real es-
tate broker of New York, to the Wash-
ington Herald. "In 1830 Astor tore
down his house In Broadway, cleared
the whole block from Vesey to Bar-
clay street, and built the huge gray
Quincy granite hotel which held forth
until not many years ago as the Astor
house, being one of the first notable
landmarks in New York, and also one
of the best paying pieces of property.
"A few days after it was finished
the old gentleman and his eldest son
W illlam were walking through City
Hall park, and stopped a moment to
admire the building—the finest hotel
In America at that time.
" "Poj>, that's a mighty fine build-
ing. said William, 'I wish to gracious
It was mine.'
" 'So,' answered the father. 'Well,
R,"y, Klve me on©, dollar and you can
have it.'
Out came the dollar—a big silver
dollar, that is cherished by the fam-
ily to this day as the dollar of our
daddies—and within an hour the deed
of the property was made out and re-
corded. This -was old Mr. Astor's
sale of real estate In his life."

Mistaken Identity.
/ V\ estchester county commuter
told this story a few days ago to his
daily fellow-travelers while the cards
were being made ready for the first
rubber; "As I entered the station this
afternoon a man with a number of
parcels said to me in German: 'I want
to go to Port Chester.' I was warm
and cross and felt like quoting Thack-
eray,, and asking him: 'Why in H—ar-
lem don't you gt !' But he seemed to
be so thoroughly foreign that I knew
the joke would have been wasted and
I gave him the information he wanted
in a few words. Then I was curious
to know w hat made him think that I
could speak German and I asked him
in the best German I could command.
He smiled, showing a set of teeth of
the Oyster Bay brand, and said: 'I
could tell by the looks of your wife,"
and nodded toward a woman who
happened to have come into the sta-
tion next to «ne. The funny part of
t e story is that,'I know the woman,
and, like Kelly,, bhe Is Irfch through
and through."
