Astor after she had divorced her first
husband. Robert Gould ,snaw, and they
have lived since their marriage at
Civedon on the Thames.
Astor's seat in parliament is due
almost entirely to the energy and
determination of his young wife.
When he contested Plymouth the
first time he was defeated. and would
have forsaken politics had it not been
for his wife's ambitions. She took a
big house in Plymouth, entertained a
great deal and charmed everybody,
with the result that at the next cleo
ton Plymouth changed its mind.
Probably the most ambitious po-
litical hostess in London is Mrs. Lewis
Harcourt, who was formerly Mary
Ethel Burns. of New York, the niece
of j. Pierpont Morgan. When she mar
ried Harcourt she found him with
small political ambitions. although the
name of Harcourt was already IA

there were good cause. He said that
from reports he had received the force

them to conduct their affairs with the

by the big business men or concerns
