SYSTEM

The greatest of all speakers from memory was Banar Law

The only notes he permitted him self were of quotations Hề ap- peared to have a filing system in his waistcoat pockets,

The first quotation would be taken from the bouwm left-hand pocket, the second from the bot- tom right, and so on: Strings of figures never defeated his wonder-

ful memory.

The late Lord Strathclyde (bet- ter remembered as Alexander Ure) used to supply newspapers with his speeches in advance. He kept no copy, for himself,

But he was always word-perfect. I once, tested an hour and a half speech by him on land values.

The other extreme is Lord Pass- field. When he was a Minister in the Commons he spoke with a pen- cil in his hand and ticked off the points in his manuscript as he made them.

LAUGHING ALLEGRA '

One of the last direct links with the Poet Longfellow has been bro- ken, Reuter reports, by the death at Cambridge, Massuchusetts, of his youngest nimi last surviving daughter, Mrs, Annie Allegra Long- fellow Thorp.

She was 78 years old, and had been ill for more than a year.

Mrs. Thorp was "the "laughing Allegra " of her father's poem, The Children's Hour," which mentions the poet's three daugh- tors:

"From my study I see in the lamplight

hall Descending the broad stair,

Grave Alice and laughing. Alle-
