I've six already replied Lady
Nancy, land l haven't quit yet"
Add to these things the incidents of
her American tour-her warm recep-
tion, her clever addresses, her call up
on congress, her visit to Mirador, her
smart sayings, her faultless playing OF
her British role, and her successful
missionary work
Is it any wonder that Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Catt-whO is pretty well
known herself-introduced her at the
Baltimore Pan-American Conference
of Women as the "best-known woman
in the wOrld"?
And isn't she the astonishing Lady
Astor?
And Lady Astor, with the intel
ligence of the well-born American
woman, realizes how astonishing she
Is. She put 1t this way in one of her
public addresses:
~ am not person but symbol
a sort of connecting link between the
Englisl-speaking people, a frail link
perhaps, but link that is stronger
than it looks. 1t is a strange thing
that Englands first woman member
of parliament should have come from
Englands first colony. l doubt If the
first English woman to land in Vir-
ginia was less expected on these
shores than the first Virginia woman
TO land in the house of commons was
expected on that floor"
The story of Lady Astor reads like
fairy tale.
When she and Lord Astor married
in 1906 she was the widow of Robert
Gould Shaw. lie was the oldest son
of William Waldorf Astor, who was
horn in New York City in 1S4S, be-
come n naturalized British subject in
1899 and was then engaged in spend
ing many of his inherited millions in
frantic effort to secure British title.
The world was startled when 1t was
announced that the American eXpatri-
ate. struggling for social recognition
in England, had consented to the
match. OF course everybody knows OF
the conquest of England by the Amer
lean heiress. But here was young
Astor'' marrying an American widow
twenty-seven years of age and penni-
less in comparison with the Astor mil
lions!
1t was as If fairy godmother had
waved a magic wand. But this was
only the beginning. The fairy god
mother went right on waving her
magic wand in behalf of young AS
tor's' wife.

by reason of her recent visit to her

While this clever and vlvaelous lady
member OF the British parliament was
fitting about the land where she was
born, enlightening our ignorance,
preaching Anglo American "hands
across the sea" and telling us we must
join the League of Nations to be saved
we pretended we were being kidded by
an expert We were content to get en-
joyment out of it-and let it 20 at
that. Now that this pleasing lady
Britisher has returned to the land of
her adoption and conquest we are
just beginning to realize how aston
ishng was her visit.
In consequence American statesmen,
In and out of congress, are using the
astonishing Lady Astor as an object
lesson. And debate in congress over
the League of Nations and naturaliZa-
tion legislation is enlivened by many
reference to Nancy, Lady Astor,
born Langhorne in 1879 at Mirador,
Greenwood, Virginia, U. S. A.
Take, for instance, the Shortridge
naturalization bill providing for the
registration and education and Ameri-
canizing of immigrants. One of the
features of this bill is that it permits
MARRYING for
eigner to retain her American citizen
ship. The idea is to equalize before
the law the position of the American
man and the American woman in this
respect.
Secretary of Labor Davis points
with pride" to this bill.
Opponents of the bill "view with
alarm" the citizenship provision.
What's more, they point finger al
Lady Astor as a horrible example OF
what happens when an American wum-
an marries foreigner.
American women, the latter CONTEND
sentimentally adopt the land of their
husbands when they marry abroad.
Certainly this Is the case with Lazy
Astor. She admits it, at least to the
extent of fifty-ffty. AS matter ol
fact. it is evident that she is wholly
English.
Lady Astor is probably at this mo-
ment the most talked about woman
in the world. Here are some OF the
many reasons:
She was born an American citizen
md is now the wife of viscount In
the British Deerage, a naturallzed
Englishman who vas born In New
York City of American parents ana Is
immensely wealthy.
She is sure of immortality for she

AS member of the house of COM
mons she has introduced Dill 'o re-
peal the Flaw of coercion which
dates back to 712 A. D., which as
sumes that n woman is obliged to do
whatever her husband directs anu
which lust now is a topic of discus
sion all over England.
Moreover, Lady Astor finds time
for family duties. A misguided ano

Menaces Phipps
Georgian Starts Row in Senate
And Threatens to Smash
Face of Colorado Man.

Senator Tom Watson. of Georgia,
went on a rampage in the Senate
again yesterday. He threatened to
smash the face of Senator Phipps.
of Colorado.
The alteration began in the
Senate chamber while Senator
Wadsworth was making a speech
and threatened to break up the pro-
ceedings. 1t was precipitated over
Georgia postal nominations. Wat
son declared the nominees objec-
tionable to him. Senator Phipps
chairman of the Postoffice subcom-
mittee handling these nominations.
was not satisfied with Watson's
criticisms of the nominees and
wrote letters to Georgia making in
quiries. He later laid the corre-
spondence before Watson.
Yesterday morning the Senate had
been in session few minutes when
the Georgia Senator approached
Phipps and began to criticise him
in a loud voice because he had
written the letters. Phipps defend
ed his action. Watson became fu-
rious. his talk disturbing Senator
Wadsworth, who halted his speech.
Il can't talk to you here" Phipps
muttered.
We'll. come outside, then" Wat
son yelled. Phipps followed Wat
son outside the main Senate door
way, where Watson cursed him.
IF you step down off that step"
Watson shouted, I'll knock your
face in with my fist"
Senator Phipps said he would
summon the sergeant-at-arms.
Amt you man enough to take
care of yourself?" asked Watson;
| am.
Senator McNary (Oregon) rushed
from the chamber and stepped be-
tween the pair, persuading Phipps
to return to his seat white he led
Watson away.
