now in the late SOS. and he nearly al
ways appears clad in fur-lined vel
Net top coat and a skull cap in lieu of
a hat. In his day he was deemed
England's most gifted orator Even
as late as when Great Britain hest
tated on the brink of the catastrophe
OF l9l4, 1t was his rousing impromptu
speech at an Edinburgh rally that
turned the trick when he told his au-
dience that if the empire failed to
enter and TO conquer, it was its end.
Lord RoSebery lost his son in the war,
blow from which he has not rallied.
Inc only daughter of this son is his
constant companion and she is quite
a popular hostess at the receptions of
her grandfather, though she is ONLY
IN her sixteenth year. Lord Roseberv
IS frequently described as the most
accomplished converse tionalist of his
era, but he has for many years de-
clined TO talk politics. The turf lit
erature and memories OF his great
past are his themes and some Of
London $ literati mourn that so far no
Boswell has appeared to transmit to
poSterity his wonderful flow of Ian
guage. The contemporary and beloved
disciple of Gladstone always alludes TO
himself as having been turned into
the paddock to end his days quietly
picking the grass, but London CON
siders him one of her most renowned
citizens and honOrs him as openly and
frequently as the secluded habits Of
his great life permit.
Another grand old man in the Lon
don world equally known and admired
as Lord RoSebery is Sir George Otto
Trevelyan, the historian. He recently
celebrated his Goth birthday and con
gratulatory messages We're received
in as large numbers from the writer's
and teachers of history in this coun-
try as of England. Sir George is the
nephew Of Lord Nacauley, being the
son of that Hannah More Macauley.
who was almost as gifted as the writer
of the immortal essays, and he had
the privilege of studying under these
eminent teachers from his tenderest
years. Trevelyan's History of the
American Revolution" is eDochal in
the opinion of American writer's on
those memorable years and his esti-
mate of the services rendered by Ben
jamin Franklin caused a revision of
judgment by historical critics and
statesmen. Trevelyan always alludes
to Franklin as 1.-The great Ambassa-
DOR phrase which is becoming more
popularity associated with his name.
This venerable scholar has figured in
history as well as he has written for
it for after the assassination of Lord
Frederick Cavendish in Phoenix
Park, Dublin, in 1882, he was sent by
Gladstone to fill the vacant place of
less trouble than any of his predeces-
sors. The historian has two sons, one,

thirtieth birthday of the Holland
DANES by a beautifully appointed
luncheon at the Plaza, at which a

traditions and for social purposes.
some years ago they took as a def
