LADY ASTOR WILL N8T -TALKNEXT T!IV!E NEW YORK. Tile next time Lady Aator visits in America, she intends to innko no speeches. That was what she confided to reporters before sail ing for England. Few public speakers, or workers of any sort, are ever keyed to the high nervous tension f ith which Lady Astor seems charged when addressing an audience. Her nervousness may not havo been so apparent to listening crowds at her 40-odd public speaking appearances In this country during April and tho first three weeks' of May. Hut if one sat near her, the eye quickly observed, that she inces santly wrung her hinds behind her back and ran her fingers over and under her jeweled bracelets, the mus cles of her anus and shoulders quiver ing from nervousness. Somehow tlio strain never seemed to affect the clarity of her speaking tones. In fact, her talks to crowds, no matter what their size, were in a manner friendly and informal. Al' ways she was breaking away from her prepared notes to start a sentence with tho loose, conversational "now," or "well." But when tho speech was done, the first woman member of the house of commons was fagged out and intensely nervous. That, too, seemed never to rufUe her smooth, smiling domeanor, nor did her expression reveal fatigue.
