In discussing modern dress. Lady
Astor said: ITO my way OF think
ing. the way all women dress is most
unfortunate. It's silly to talk about
equality and then to use your freedom
to parade your ugliness. It let's the
whole sex go about half naked. I
hope my daughter will go to college.
The more women who do that the
sooner Will all this foolishness end"
The mention of her daughter
brought suspicion of tears to Lady
Astor's eyes, and she exclaimed: THE
really charming thing about me IL
my children. This is the first time
I've left them like this. but / couldn't
spoil them by bringing them along.
They are coming 10 America some
