C, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, LADY ASTORSTAYS FOR LONGER VISIT Changes Mind About Sailing, Letting Family Go On—De- fends Political Life. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 11.— Changing her mind at the last mo- ment, Lady Astor bid farewell to her husband and her six children as they sailed last night on the Olympic and stayed behind ‘“for several weeks of rest.” “I am an idiot for letting my friends persuade me to stay over and let those children go back home alone,” she said. "It just can't be done and work out right.” At the urging of her husband she stayed on the pier as the Olympic carried Lord Astor and their children out into the Hudson River on its way to England. - Leaves Dock in Tears. She had kissed the two younger children as they slept in_ their state- room and had bid good-by to the others at the gangplank. Then she turned and walked briskly down the dock, her eyes moist with tears. Bringing up children and playing a part in nolmcs do mix, and each adds a t deal of zest to the other, in the opinion of Viscountess Astor, who lrelented yesterday from her determi- nation not to see reporters, and for nearly an hour aired her views on men, manners, morals and politics. ““Women are good politicians just because they are first and foremost good mothers,” she said, “and they are always tackling. things from the point of view that they would like for their children.” She has six chil- dren of her own, four of whom joined D OU BUY bonds and realty on time, having in mind the likelihood that both homes and securities . have in them the seeds of future enhance- ment.

Throughout the interview. Lord Astor sat beside her, occasionally putting in a quiet word of agreement or_definition. Her only serious criticism of this country, her .own, was leveled at American parents’ methods of bring- ing up their children. “Children here have such old looks on their faces—they are far, far too old for their age, and I think that is a cruel thing, don't you? “I don't know what the cause would be, unless it is that they have too much liberty. Perhaps they have too many cinemas, sit up too late, have too much sentimentalizing attention paid to them in public. SOCIETY. — “Too much spending mcney’ 1 don’t know. I wouldn't take the excltement of spending 5 cents away from my children. Each of them had a dollar yesterday to spend in the 5 and 10 cents store, and they had a perfectly thrilling time.” England Called Democratic. Lady Astor replied to a question about the democracy of l-]nxlnnd:- “It's the most democratic country in the world. I can ask the Prime Minister a question any time I want to. Could anything be more demo- cratic than that?—fancy asking the President a question!" The English are the most humor- ous people in the world, she main- tained—"Not the Irish, they are funny, not humorous!" “Jazz? It isn't darky, at all,” sh sald. “You people havé taken your own wickedness and put it onto the negro's spiritual reaching-out.” The amount of cosmetics used, she replied to another question, made the American girl look “like the last days of Pompeil.
