THE FROTHBLOWERS
LADY ASTOR ASKED TO SIP VEHEMENT REFUSAL Members of the House of Commons will have their little joke. Recently an ardent “wet” asked Lady Astor, an enthusiastic temperance worker, to become a member of the Ancient Order of Frothblowers, Lady Astor denounced her petitioner roundly. The object of the Frothblowers’ order is the collection of charity funds, but conviviality is an important side line. “Gallop your beer with zest,” is the Frothblowers’ slogan. Lady Astor incurs the ill-favour of her Conservative Party colleagues by working for temperance legislation in the House of Commons, but she cannot be charged with hypocrisy. At the Astor homes in London, Plymouth and at Clivedon, on the Thames, Lord and Lady Astor entertain extensively, but nothing stronger than fresh fruit juice punch ever is served.
