Mr. Ramsay MacDonald will go down to history from the smokers' point of view as the first cigarette- smoking Premier (says the Star.) Unlike his pipe-smoking pre- decessor, he is devoted to My Lady Nicotine in her lightest form, Only One Burns.
Miss Ishbel MacDonald
Miss MacDonald, who is to be her father's hostess at 10 Downing Street, has the Christian name of Ishbel, which no doubt will puzzle many people, suggests the Evening Standard. It would not puzzle them if they had lived in the Moray Firth neighbourhood, from which Mr. MacDonald comes, for Ishbel is by no means uncommon in North-East Scotland as a version of Elizabeth-a name which has surely more variants than any other Christian name.
