OLD BOYHOOD HOME
PRIME MINISTER'S REFUGE ROYAL ACADEMY PICTURE [from our own correspondent] LONDON, May 31 A painting by Sir John Lavery hung at the Royal Academy exhibition lends itself to the cheap cynicism of political opponents of the Prime Minister. Sir. Ramsay Mac Donald is shown in his home at his' native Lossiemouth. The table is set for tea. On the further side of the table Miss Ishbel Mac Donald is knitting, and a neat elderly maid is busying herself at the table. The Prime Minister sits in a wooden arm-, chair beside the fireplace. He is wearing plus fours, and is apparently reading. The stove is of the modern type which serves as a kitchen grate as" well as an open fireplace. A well-polished brass kettle is on the stove, and the mainder of the ornaments in the room are of the samo simple but tasteful character. For the first time, the gen« eral public are introduced to that vili lage home to which the Prime Minister so often flies for rest and inspiration."
