He was Chiswell Dabney Lang- horne, a well-to-do citizen of Vir- giniea. Shortly after her debut in Richmond in 1897, she married a @ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Monday, Merch 7, 1960 oxo six children, five sons and a a daughter, and one of a family of 11.) She's outspoken on the subject of fathers, too. At least on her own father: "I take no credit for being a suffragette," she once told guests at a large public luncheon.

Or: "Women like men for what they are, not what they look like. Men like women for what they look like, mot what they are." Then a lot of men should like Nancy Astor. |a With a long, beautifully-boned face, a surprisingly unwrinkled countenance, the aris to cratic nose of the thoroughbred, she faintly resembles a handsome painting of George Washington's horse.
