LADY ASTOR ALL RIGHT

aShp +h''A VIZ
Wen say that lady Astor is lady
end woman.
Furthermore, we don't blame
these Englishmen and women TO,
electing her to parliament
And we don't blame some thous-
ards Of Americans for going daffy
over her, and we are glad the Asso-
ciated Press is playing her up in
good style.
Because she is worthy Cf it all.
We are naturally glad she is an
unreconstructed southerner, that she
speaks with her old Virginia accent,
is not given to- affectation in speech
on dress and knows her children
apart.
She takes herself seriously. One
Cf the prettiest women in the wCIld,
possessing wealth, position, and a
seat in parliament, she is the mother
of six children, and wore the same
dress Tuesday night that she wore
in 1918
Even though her weaker sisters
may not be able to emulate her in
dependence, they will admire her,
and we are convinced that through
out this broad land of ours there are
thousands Of strong women who are
able to see the realities Of life as
this child of destiny sees them.
And those strong women, whcr
ever they may be, will welcome her
coming in their hearts.
