KEEPING AN INN
Managing an old-world English inn is “very hard, very interesting, very enjoyable,” according to Miss Ishbel MacDonald, daughter of the former Premier of England. She conducts an inn in the village of Speen, in Buckinghamshire, and has opinions on the subject. “ You are in touch with all kinds of people,” she says,
“ and you can set the tone of all the houses in which you are working. There are some public houses which are an insult to the working men who frequent them. You can make them, all fit for any person to go into—-they should be places in which people can spend their time in happy companionship.” Miss MacDonald aims at preserving the “old” atmosphere in her tiny hostelry tucked away in the far corner of Buckinghamshire.
