self as a "Dowager
Peer.n

LONDON Jan 10--The coming OF age
on Thursday last of Lord DaImeny, eldest
son of Lord Rosebery, was the occasion
for extended festivities on his Scotch es-
tate, DaImeny Park, near Edinburgh,
and supplied the former Premier an op-
portunity almost daily Of making
speeches. which have been widely report
ed. Lord Dalmeny was the recipient Of
many addresses from the neighboring
municipalities and from the tenants. to
which his father generally replied.
Throughout the celebrations Lord
Rosebery was in a particularly happy
humor. He created another phrase.
which has already become popular, by
referring to himself as 'dowager
peer" now that his son had reached his
majority. The speeches of Lord Rose
bcry's younger son, the Hon Neil Prim-
rose attracted much attention, owing to
his excellent delivery and facility Of die
ton. Lord Rosebery's athletic heir
frankly said he did not care much about
speechmaking, and was altogether
wrapped up In the army, in which he
holds commission as lieutenant in the
Grenadier Guards.
