Nancy Astor; Virginia Beauty, Noted
For Wit, Viuacity and Compassion

Lady Nancy Astor, the rst woman
to sit in the House of Commons, was
born and reared in Virginia. One of
the famous five Langhorie sisters,
daughters Of Colonel Chiswell Dabney
Langhorne, she spent her early life
in Richmond, Va, where she was edu-
Gated. The Langhorne girls inherited
their beauty from their mother, who
was Mamie Kean, belle in the days
before the Civil War, and Lady Astor
inherited some of her wit and "sass"
from "Chille" Langhorne-as her
father was known to his friends. Lady
Astor was born at Mirador, Albemarle
County, Virginia, the country estate
of her father, where he died last
February.
Lady Astor was noted in her youth
for her vivacity, wit and compassion
ate nature, which has always prompted
her to activity in every field where
she could be Of service to those less
fortunate
Married First in 1897
Nancy Langhorne was married in the
fall of 1897 at Mirador to Robert Gould
Shaw I'd, Of Boston, q Harvard gradu-
ate. and son of an aristocratic New
England family. After her marriage
she lived in Boston and at Prides
Crossing, Mass, it was said, where "she
hunted small game and the New Eng
land conscience" She divorced her
husband soon after the birth of their
only child, Robert Gould Shaw Sd. on
the grounds of desertion for three
years. She returned to her fathers
house. A decree of divorce was granted
to Mrs. Shaw on February a, 1908, with
the custody Of her child.
After her divorce the then Mrs. Shaw
went to England with Mrs, John Jacob
Astor. Mrs. Astor and the former Mrs.
Shaw maintained hunting establish
ment at Melton Mowbray and Market
Marlborough, in the High Shires, Eng
land. Mrs. Shaw was noted for her
riding, and was from the first great
social success in England. 1t was re-
peatedly announced that she was en-
gagged to some nobleman or other, but
it was not until March, 1906, that She
sent her father a cablegram telling him
that it would be all right to announce
her engagement to Waldorf Astor.
William Waldorf Astor had always
wanted peeress for his son, and it
was said there was much commotion in
the Astor family when the engagement
was announced. However, the late Wis
count Astor was soon won over by his
new daughter-in- law
Hoped for Wilson's Election
Lady Astor began to make a name
for herself in London soon after her
marriage. She already had conquered
society, and she proceeded to conquer
the other half by her charities, which
were not dispensed by a committee but
were accompanied by whatever aid she
could give by her personality. When
Lady Astor returned to this country
IN 1917 with her husband she inter
ested herself in American politics and
said she hoped Woodrow Wilson would
be elected, mot SO much because he
is a Democrat as because he is a Vir-
ginian."
In 1908 Waldorf Astor took his seat
New-York tribune., 1919-11-29

In the House of Commons, and since
that time Lady Astor has had an init
mate knowledge of British politics.
The Astor residences in London and in
other parts of England have been
meeting places for many of Englands
most important statesmen, including
Arthur j. Balfour, Herbert Asquith,
Winston Churchill, Sir Horace Plum
kett and the late Lord Beresford.
Would Restrict Liquor Trade
Lady Astor always entertained her
own views on important questions of
the day She is an advocate of the
restriction of the liquor industry in
Great Britain, and her attitude in favor
OF prohibition has been interesting tc
Englishmen because of the activities
abroad Of "Pussyfoot' Johnson. Lady
Astor believes in censorship on mo-
tion pictures, and she advocates the
presence Of women on such a board,
because in her opinion mothers know
best what is good for their children.
Lady Astor, who has been Christian
Sclentlst for many years, was an active
entertainer at Y. M. c. A. hostels dur
ing the war, and was noted as the only
peeress skilfu with the ukulele, an
accomplishment applauded by many
American soldiers and sailors in Lon
don. She gave up her country home at
Chveden for use as a Red Cross hos
pital
After the death of her father-in-
law, Viscount (William Waldorf) Astor
and when her husband. Waldorf Astor,
succeeded to the pcerage and seat in
the House Of Lords, Lady Astor decided
to become the Coalition n-Unionist can
didate to succeed her husband as
member of the House of Commons
An invitation was extended to her to
run for Parliament from Plymouth,
which she accepted on October 26.

in view of the fact his vote had been
increased by more than 1000 over the
last election. Mr.. Foot remarked that
the tide was against him, adding that
Lady Astor's return was due to her
remarkable and deserved personal
popularity.
Lady Astor will be sponsored on her
first appearance in the House Monday
by Lord Edmund Talbot, only brother
Of the fifteenth Duke of Norfolk, and
Lieutenant Colonel Herbert II. Spender
Clay, her brother-in-law, whose wife is
Pauline, daughter Of the late Vscount
Astor.
The women and children of her con-

Soldiers Get $50 Bonus

Section 1406 of the Revenue Act,
approved February "a, 1919, author
ICES the payment of bonus of $50
to officers, soldiers, field clerks and
nurses of the Army upon honorable
separation from active service by dis
charge, resignation or otherwise.
This bonus is not payable to the
heirs of representatives of any de-
ceased soldier.
Those who are discharged hereaf-
ter will receive this bonus on the
same roll or voucher which they are
paid their final pay.
Those who have been discharged
and have received their final pay
without the $50 bonus, should write
a letter to the Zone Finance Officer,
Lemon Building, Washington, D. c.,
stating their service since April 6,
1917, the date of last discharge, and
their present address to which they
desire their bonus checks to be sent,
and enclosing with this letter their
discharge certificates Or military Or
der for discharge, and both. if both
were issued.
Upon the receipt by the Zone FL
nance Officer, Washington, D. c., Of
this information and the soldier
discharge certificate, this officer will
cause checks to DE drawn and mailed
to the claimants in the order in
which their claims were received by
him The discharge certificate will
then be returned to the soldier with
the check.
It is estimated that at least one
million and a quarter persons have
been discharged from the service
who are entitled to the benefits of
this Act and while payments will be
made as expeditiously as practicable
it will manifestly take considerable
time to write and mail this many
checks.
