MR. LLOYD GEORGE A HUSBAND AGAIN. EX-PREMIER'S HUMAN SIDE.
Miss Edith Shackleton, writing in the Daily Sketch says: 10, Downing Street is a thrilling place to the mare caller. The austers white Hall, with its black and white marble floor and heads and borns of strange beasts, the long corridors, the white stairs hung with portraits of by gone, Frime" Ministars, for all their simplicity give one the feeling that here is one of the "ends of earth." I wondered how it felt to hare passed through them in power for almost six years, and then to wake up one morning as a private person, with the weight of Empira rolled over to next door."
Dane Margaret Lloyd George's drawing- room dispelled any feeling of a visit of condolence even before she herself came in. Gay parrots and roses on chinta sofas, s bright fica, modest, but fresh array e- ments of flowers, portraits of her happy- looking daughters, wedding group photo. graph, book-cases that look sa though they held school prizes-this is surely not the salon of a grast political, wire-pulling lady: it is mother's room."
..
PLAIN ME. LLOYD ÓKOEGE,
Dame Margaret comes in, brisk, smiling, simply dressed in a dark-blue gown. I felt that I was shaking hands with the least. dismayed, least apprehensive lady in the political world. Other women may be hysterically putting on their rather rusty spurs. Dame Margaret looked rather as though she had descended thankfully from a Tong and exciting journey?"
"But I thought you wanted me to talk about my husband," she protested, when I asked a question about herself. What woman, after all, wondn't be rather engar to talk about a husband who, on this day after many years, was at last just a bui band again instead of a Prime Mininister. "Lshall be glad if he does get a rest," she said." He is not a political machine, The Prime caring only for politica. Min-, I mean Mr. Lloyd George-it is hard to remember to call him that now after so longis a very human man. He' loves music. He likes to go to the opera He likes to play golf. And all these years he has had so little time for this own life.
"He has the power of throwing things. off. Yesterday was so dramatic that many people may have wondered how he felt at the end of it. Bat he did not sit up and go over things again. He went to bed early and slept well, and to-day is well and cheerful He basn't forgotten how to be plain Mr. Lloyd George.
It is a long time we have been here," went on Dame Margaret looking out through the long: windows to the yellow- ing trees across the Horse. Guards Parade. My daughter Megan can scarcely remem ber any other London home than Down ing-street one. I suppose it is the busiest term of office any Prime Minister has ever had."
READY FOR ANYTHING.
"Or any Prime Minister's wife," I sug gested, for Daina Margaret has shouldered countless dull duties and reigned during a period when glitter and gaiety were rare.
There was a lot to do, admitted Damo Margaret, "but that made things better, during war-time especially We cued to lend these rooms so often. I remember afternoons when as much as £2,000 would be collected for some charity in this draw ing-room."
"I remember them, too-the dearly ex- cited throngs of women. Mello singing in the dining-room with the Premier standing in the door way, having left his office for ten minutes, the busy Welsh housemaids wrestling with tes-and in the middle of all Dame Margaret's sincere face. with the beautified look of women who still known how to put children to bed and care a man's sore throat. Always she evolved another setting the home setting which she may now achieve for a time, though she says determinedly, "We always enjoy a fight when it comes, We are ready for any thing."
"I hardly know yet what I shall miss most or remember longest." was Dame Margaret's confession, when more remini. ecences were invited"Going to Che quers was very wonderful. It is strange just now to think that we may not be there again. No, it didn't feel just official, a mare historio background. One could re- ally rest there. It is so beautiful that "one felt soothed there. At least I did, and I think the Prime Mia-I mean Mr. Lloyd George did, too."
WOMEN VOTERS.
"Do you think the new women voters are going to be very interested in the cam- paign was my final question.
Yes. Not all women, of course. One can never tell what some women will think: or do. But the majority of those I see are interested. They think of their homes and want to do what is best for them

And I thought as I came away again through the historic corridors, past the great war map which still inspires a shud- der, past, the many mysterious half detective, half-equerry sort of men who take the places of the footnch and parlourmaids of less- responsible people that Dame Margaret saw,” in her, audiences of women, reflections of her inner self, thinking about home and children about a home that was really a home, with a father returning to dinner, not from Cabinet meeting, but from a care free round of gol
