Lord Astor introduced the meas- ure before Easter, and both he and Lady Astor have been active in sup- port of the 23 peeresses who do not enjoy the full privileges which their inherited titles would have conferred on a male heir. In. two successive sessions the House of Lords has denied recogni- tion to this aggressive body of titled women, headed hy Viscountess Rhondda, director of a score of im- portant industrial organizations and denouncer of idie women who permit themseives to become social vampires and lead the life of an oriental harem. But conditions have changed since the viscol sses, countesses and re turned down by the last session of the Upper House. All omen. wu have been virtually assured of the vote by Premier Bald- win'’s pledge to sponsor legislation enfranchising women between the ages of 21 and 30. 8o women of all classes have taken on importance to political parties. They may have 2,000,000 more votes than men in the next general elec- tion. Lady irene Curzon, Baroness Ra- vensdale, who inherited the barony of her father, Lord Curzon of Kedles- ton, is a member of the group of 23 who are battling for their seats. As her father had no son, che, as the eldest daughter of Lord Curzon and his first wife, who ‘was a daughter of L. Z. Leiter of Chicago, came into the barony. Lady Curzon is unmarried, and consequently her sister, Lady Cyn- thia Mosley, the labor leader, is her heir. The latter's title of “lady” is merely complimentary, but should her sister die without children Lady Mosley, who campaigned for her hus- band as “Plain Mrs.” Mosley, would automatically become a baroness. - Lindberg h, Detroit school teacher, greet- MOTHER AND SON o s ed he n today aboard the cruiser Memphis.
