ISHBEL’S INN—BUT FATHER’S OUT. This may have been a particularly apt heading before the Scottish Universities’ parliamentary by-elec-tion, as a result of which Mr Ramsay MacDonald, father of Ishbel, the young lady in the picture, was returned to power. But now, of Course, it is a trifle out of date. However, the picture itself is a homely and interesting study. It shows Miss Ishbel MacDonald passa cheery few minutes with a patron of “ The Old Plow Inn,” which she has bought in Speen, Berkshire. Hailed as the most famous inn hostess in England, the exPrime Minister’s daughter probably realises the worth of good English ale—a beverage noted for its nourishing ways with “ ancients ” and oldest inhabitants.
