I have never had the experience of an interview," Lady Gosford said. "It is not the sort of thing we do, because we do not pretend to be anything or to know very much The English aristo cracy is one of the must leavening of in. Huences. We are just plain people who take a pride in our country but never think of talking about ourselves When you ask ine what I think and about my self, you rather put me in an awkward Pest Trama (old). position, for why should what I think Do. (new) (c.p.).. matter much The old families in Eng- Sinceres land were always impersonal. The Eng- Taxis...... lish aristocracý, has never been proud or United Asbestos ........... domineering. They have never driveWatsons (vid things to a crisis. They have never beca Do. (neer) oppressive. The result is that even to William Powell day, when some people would say that there is so much radicalism in Britain, we are really very good friends, those of ua who are called the upper classes, if you like the word, and the best of the people. We really all like each other, LABOUR'S PLEASANT DISCOVERY,

The war has, of course, made its changes. There are no longer the social centres to which anyone wanted to go. Very few of the great housese remain, as we can afford to pay the taxes,

There are other social and political circles, but more and more, the groups are becoming smaller

the entertainment lesa and Javish. We were all quite miserable to have to part with the houses of centuries, with the art treasures which were really more our furnishings than collections, but the British aristocracy does not resist forcibly because of its great sense of justice. The Goreriment has found" it necessary to take a certain step; and as much as it may hurt our sentiments wa always how our heads to whichever Gov- ernment may be chosen. A peer has only one vote just as a commoner only has one vote.

That is what the Labour Party dis covered when they cathe into power. They thought that the permanent under- secretaries of the agious Government Departments would do something to spoil their administration. But when the Labourites were in power, they found that the permanent under-secretaries and others worked just as hard and just? us disinteresteilly na they might have done under a Conservative Government. There is never thought of party in such matters. The Labourites bad na other experience. When Mr. Brown and Mrs. Brown (Mr. Brown was a miner) were sent into Scotland to represent the. King and Queen, they found that every one whs respectful to and welcomed them." They carried out their duties in the most dignified aanner, worthy of the honour shown them. That is the leaven- ing force of the British aristocracy.

BOLSHEVISM'S POOR CHANCE "It is not likely that England will ever go Bolshevist because the people and the aristocracy" really like each other and in the country have done so much for ench other. Many of the large estates are being sold to the former tenants, but it is doubtful whether the tenants are really better off. Some are finding it very difficult to inake ends meet, while before they were comfortably off. Bút such matters will in time adjust them- solves."

Lady Gosford did not really talk for publication but gave way before the per sistence of the reporter, who thought that" so many in Shanghai, who had never been to Britain, would be interested.
