II. w. Luey's Diary OF tie Salisbury Parliament g"
In the month Of May, 1882 thSe was an
evening party in Berkeley square, and il
the early part Of the day Lord Rosebery
had met in Piccadily a Scotch farmer with
whom he had some acquaintance and ne
asked his friend to ''look in'' in the course
Of the night. The farmer duly presented
himself in something that resembled his
idea of an evening dress. Ali went well
until the Sc0tchman got into the supper
room and after eating a variety IF dciica-
eacles he lighted on an ieeeream-a form
of nourishment that vas new to him.

his host he thought it his duty to inform
him of what had taken place. II don;

Lord Rosebery grasped the situation in

a pretty appearance of critical inquiry,
tasted the ieecream. 80 it is" he said
that's very strange; and then, after
speaking to one of the servants, he returned
aud said 10 the Scotch farmer: Its ali
