LADY OXFORD'S NEW BOOK.
The Countess ul Oxford an Auth is stilt plain "Margul Naquith" on the title page of her new book, and what is more important still the coronetted pe wrics with just the sante audacious sparkle as before. She remarks in oe place that "the Tennants have no age," and that that is whai makes them "a race apart, and not because they are specially clever, learned, famous, or amusing" And is book bears witness. It is the same hand which wrote down the impressions of America in 1922 or
Some of the comments and re- flections on América are likely to cause an outburst of pained wonderment inthe American Press. Sho writes:
The Americans, while the most friendly people to the world, are too much concerned about each other, and though not personally are nationally vain. They would rather hear themselves abused than undiscussed, which inclines one to imagine that they are suffer ing from the uneasiness of the nouveau. richo....

Just necessary leisure for a cjuiet mind, the same hand and just the same quick eye, and the, same flashing -longue, and the same kind hear.
It cannot be said that this is an "Important" book. It adds little to the store of political gossip which the authoresa gave to the public in her "Autoblography." There is not much beyond casual allusion to home politics in the book, and what there is does not throw much light on the dark places. But here and there one

THE "GRAND REFUSAL"VI
The authoress says that when Mr. Baldwin was defeated at the General Election of 1923 "her husband-over whose decease every bell had tolled-suddenly found himself proclaimed, the saviour of society. Mr. Churchill, Lord Birkenhead, Str Robert Horne, Mr. Austen Chamberlain, Lord Midleton, and many business and City men told me publicly and privately that they were pre- pared to follow his leadership- anything rather than have a Labour Government."- Her comment, looking back, is that "had her husband been foolish enough to take the advice of the first-class brains, Labour would have had a legitimate grievance, and in any future election must have swept the country,' However, that Is conjecture, and nothing more. Mr. Asquith's grand refusal" reduced- his party to impotence, and sent Itim to the House of Lords. Neither result, one suspects, was anticipat ed.
Mr. Lloyd George is not yet forgiven. His appearances in these pages are the reverse of complimentary. When Mrs. Asquith, as she then was, was in Madrid, sorceone remarked to her at dinner that he thought Mr. Lloyd George was" exposed, and was no longer a serious politician." Her reply was that "the word 'serious' had at no time applied to him," That seems open to what Dizzy once said of the late Lord Salisbury-his Invective lacks
