New York, Oct. 8.-David Lloyd
George, ex-premier Of Great Britain,
and one of the Big Four who held
the destiny of the world in their
hands during the war, isn't so much.
Leastwise, that's what his daughter
and "side-kick" British interpre.a-
tion, "pal'O, Miss Megan Lloyd
George, tells him.
"And l guess he believes 1t too"
she says smilingly. 81 make him be-
lieve it."
Together with her mother, Dane
Margaret, Megan is accompanying
her famous father on his first trip
through America.

81 don't think he's so great as a
statesman"
But as father?
"That's another matter" she said.
"He is simply the grandest dad any
, girl ever had.
"From early morning when l hear
him splashing around in his bach,
till late at night when l go to be.l,
, We just keep joshing each other.

to call it. And l have to pull some,

used to do when l was baby, and
gives me talking to. But am
afraid that his five grandchildren are
beginning to depOse me from favor.
Sometimes l think that he is an even
better grandfather than father"
Perhaps she'll be a grandmother
some day, and then her children will
make up for the lost favor?
"Never," snapped back Megan.
"That's one thing Pm determined
| about, l shan't get married"
| But it's going to be hard to keep
her many admirers from falling in
! love with her. For Miss Megan is a
very pretty girl-blond, with hair
not bobbed, twinkling eye and a
nose lust turned up the least bit.
She seems to use no powder or hp'
stick.
She says she doesn't smoke. But
doesn't mind if others do.

"I'm interested in politics, OF
course" she says. "I've been brought
up in it. But l don't know it III
take it up as career"

chummy with her father, she cracks

But they aren't going to see very

will be kept busy attending banquets
and lectures; and Miss Megan and
Dame Margaret will be busy at
luncheons and receptions.
