is still more astonishing
by reason of her recent visit to her
native land.
While this clever and vtvacious 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-
1oyment out Of it-and let 1t go 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
ishlng was her visit.
In consequence American statesmen,
In and out of congress, are using the
astonishing Lady Astor as an object

the League of Nations and naturaliza-
ton legislation is enllvened by many
a 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 edrcation and Amerl-
canizing Of immigrants. One Of the
features of this bill is that 1t permits
an American woman marrying a 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

Opponents Of the bill "view with
alarm" the citizenship provision.
what's more, they point a finger at
Lady Aston as a horrible example Of
what happens when an American wom-
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 Lady
Aston. She admits 1t, at least to the
extent of ffty-hfty. AS a matter OF
fact, It is evident that she Is wholly
English.
Lady Astor is probably ut this mo-
'ment the most talked about woman
in the world. Here are some Of the
many reasons:
She was born an American citizen
and is now the wife Of viscount In
the British peerage, a naturalized
Englishman who was born In New
York City Of American parents and is
immensely wealthy.
She is sure Of Immortality for she
will 60 down to history as the first
woman to take a seat In the British
parliament, where as a member of
the house Of commons she practically
outranks her husband, a member Of
the house Of lords
AS a member OF the house OF COM
mons she has introduced a bin TO re-
peal the ''law of coercion" which
dates back to TIP A. d., which as
sumes that a woman is obliged to do
whatever her husband directs and
which just now Is topic Of discus
sion all over England.
Moreover. Lady Aston finds time
for family duties. A misguided and

meeting undertook to heckle her-as
