EFFICIENCY IN HOUSEKEEPING
SHOWN BY ISFIBEL MACDONALD
Taught All Thrifty Methods
but Doesn't Like Job
Particularly.
As Premier's Hostess She
Needed No Advice on
Entertaining.
BY GRETCHEN SMITH,

Few persons have lived SO long be-
meath the spotlight Of publicity and
disclosed so little to an interested world
regarding personal habits, likes and dis
likes, as Miss Ishbel Macdonald,
daughter of the British prime minister,
who arrives here this afternoon with
her distinguished father on a short
~peace" mission to the United States.
Although Miss Macdonald is barely
26 years old, she has occupied a posi-
ton of responsibility for many years.
Throughout her entire girlhood Ish-
belS father was member of the Brit
ish Parliament and in 1924, when, for
the first time in the history of Great
Britain, the, Labor party came into
Donald as prime minister, Miss Ishbel
became the hostess of her fathers
household at the official home of the
prime minister of Great Britain-No.
10 Downing street. London.
Despite the fact that at that time a
worthy and doubtless well-meaning
doWager of the realm offered to tell
Miss Macdonald how. things should be
done in prime minister's home and
who should be seated and how at the
official functions much must occur fire.
quently during the year. it Is amusing
to know that Miss Macdonald needed
no ones help or advice in matters OF
either personal or official entertaining.
Reared i'm Conservative Manner.
AS the daughter of the niece of Lord
Kelvin, Ishbel Macdonald was brought
up in the careful. conservative manner
customary for all well born daughters
of English people of means. Ramsay
Macdonald was born poor boy, but
poverty ceased upon his marriage, and
the two sons and three daughters born
to Mr.. and Mrs. Macdonald were ac-
customed to all the comforts and cul-
ture which money and good breeding
could give. Ishbel was educated in an
exclusive little private school, where
some of her companions were the near
relatives of the famous Lord Lytton.
Upon the death of her mother, who
died when she was but little over
40 years of age, Ishbel. as the eldest
daughter. naturally assumed the re-
sponsibility of housekeeper in her IA
thers home, receiving an early train
ing from a Dutch housekeeper. who
taught her young mistress all the
thrifty, efficient methods of the world
famous Dutch housewife. In addition
to this training, Ishbel. with her
younger sister, took a course in do
mestic science about the time her
father was first chosen prime minister,
and this course was continued until
it was completed. three or four weeks
after the prime minister and his fam
ily had moved to the house on Down.

the Capitol at ii am. A half hour later
Mr.. Macdonald will call upon Secretary
Stimson at the State Department. He
returns to the embassy for luncheon,
and at 2:30 o'clock he and Miss Mac
Donald are due at the White House,
where they will be the guests of the
President and Mrs. Hoover. They will
remain as guests Of the President un-
til Tuesday. when they return 20 the
British embassy. On Thursday morning
at $50 o'clock Mr.. Macdonald and his
party will leave Washington to go to
Philadelphia, and thence to New York
and to Canada.
In addition to administration officials
he will meet many of the members of
Congress at social functions and during
a visit to the Capitol Monday.
House Reception Arranged.
Mr.. Macdonald will be accorded un-
usual honors at the Capitol. Escorted
first to the House floor, as it adjourns
shortly after noon, he will be given an
informal reception by members.
Accompanied probably by his daugh-
ter Ishbel and by Sir ESme Howard, the
British Ambassador, he will proceed
then down the longest corridor in the
world to the Senate wing and directly
into the Office of Vice President Curtis
There he will be greeted by Senators
Watson CT Indiana and Robinson of
Arkansas. Republican and Democratic
leaders, and they with the Vice Prcsi-
dent will escort him to the Senate floor
If he accepts an invitation to speak
he will be introduced to the Senate by
the Vice President. If not, recess
will be taken and Mr.. Curtis will pre-
sent him to the membership.
Whether President Hoover will take
Premier Ramsay Macdonald to his Blue
Ridge Mountain fishing reserve is di-
rectly dependent upon weather condi-
tions.
Mr. Hoover has received word from
the camp that the hard rains Of the last
few days have had no damaging effect
upon the mountain roads leading into
the preserve so If skies should clear the
trip could be made.

STANFORD, KY. October 4.-Twenty-
one persons were injured, one seriously,
in a train wreck on the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad at Cedar Creek Hill,
eight miles from here, early today.
The wreck was caused by broken
rail, which was shattered by the train.
Five cars left the track and were drag

bridge abutment, and all broke away
from the engine and turned over. The
abutment saved the cars from a plunge
into Cedar Creek. Russell Thompson,

ously injured, being hurt on the back,
side, head and legs. He has chance
to recover, however, physicians re-

informally Note
Marks Invitations
To Embassy Event

The Right Hon. Sir Esme
Howard, Ambassador of Great
Britain, and Lady Isabella How
ard have poured oil on the trou-
bled water of Washington society
relative to the extreme form and
ceremony with which the Right
Hon. James Ramsay Macdonald,
prime minister of Great Britain,
and his daughter, Miss Ishbel
Macdonald. are to be treated on
their present visit to the Capt.
tai by issuing quite informal
looking invitations for the re-
ception to follow the embassy
dinner Tuesday night.
Some of the officials and MEM
bers of society receiving the usual
cards on which Ambassador and
Lady Isabella issued all their in
vitations, thought perhaps the
semi-royal stock especially gotten
up for the occasion, had run out,
and that they had come in for a
left over" Not so.
Each invitation is on the
rather small white card bearing
the British seal at the top, with
the name of the Ambassador and
Lady Isabella Howard engraved,
and the name of the invited
guests written in with a decided
degree of informality.
The invitations carry out the
great informality which obtains
in the diplomatic corps, generally
speaking, and the once imposing
engraved cards bearing the in
sigma of the country, has in
many cases given way to printed
invitations, while not always the
best scribe in the embassy or le-
CATION is called upon to do the
filling In.

LABOR TO AWAIT
VISIT BY PREMIER
Friend of Macdonald Expects
Minister Will Attend To-
ronto Meeting.

Leaders of organized labor in Wash
ington expect that Premier Macdonald
will visit with the executive council of
the American Federation of Labor at its
annual meeting in Toronto, Canada, be-
fore returning to London.
One of those sharing this opinion is
Herman E. Wills. an energetic man of
80 years, who knows the British prime
minister personally and regards him
highly. Mr.. Wills for several years was
the national legislative representative of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers and affiliated organizations. He
first met Ramsay Macdonald in London
when the distinguished visitor was
merely a Labor member of Parliament.
Torceful and Honest.
"Ee impressed me then" Mr.. Wills
said today, "aS forceful, liberal and en-
tirely honest He was among group
at tea on the terrace of the House OF
Parliament and to me stood out from
his fellows.
Il do not believe there is any of the
old-world-d diplomacy hypocracy about
him"
In difference to Mr.. MacDonald's
wishes, leaders of organized labor will
not approach him during his visit with
President Hoover, MIR. Wills said. 1t
leader that he prefers to give the greater
part of his time to the chief purpose of
his visit. Mr.. Wills, now chairman of
special committee of the publication
of the Railroad Workers of America,
believes this purpose will be fulfilled.
Sure of Success.
ST am sure that he and President
Hoover will get together in the cause
of world peace" he said. After all.
their discussion is only preliminary to
disarmament conference among the
great powers. And I don't think the
United States will get any the worse
of the bargain" he added positively.
Lacking definite information about
Mr. MacDonald's plans, Mr.. Wills eX-
pressed hope that his information is
correct that he will call on William
Green, president of the A. F. of L., and
other leaders at Toronto after he leaves
Washington. Mr.. ard Mrs. Wills reside
at 1926 Crittenden street.

to be her fathers hostess, she did
not care particularly about being house.
keeper and would leave that work for
some one else to do.
Does Not Like Politics.
Another thing which may seem
strange to say is that Miss Macdonald
does not like politics. and at the time
of her fathers first election to Office,
about the subject.
Physically Miss Macdonald is a
wholesome, healthy girl, who is given
to wearing sport clothes a greal deal
and heartily scorns the idea of re-
sorting to cosmetics as aids to beauty.
In fact. it is said that Ishbel is the
rare type feminine who thinks neither
one way nor the other about her looks,
primping and fussing after the fashion
of our American girls, who could not
exist without their lipsticks and vanity
cases, being unknown frivolities to this
serious minded Scotch lassie. Incl
dentally, Miss Macdonald may we'll be
proud of her Scottish ancestry, being
a member of that proud old clan which
was cut TO pieces in the massacre of
Glencoe.
Although she has many of the seri-
Gus qualities of her Scotch ancestors,
Ishbel, which is the Gaelic for Isabel,
is fond of a good time and likes dane
ing and sports, golf and hockey in par
ticular, good music and good books.
She has sincerely tried to fill the
place of her mother as companion to
her father, knowing that the two had
been inseparable until the day of her
mothers death. While OIL their honey
moon in 1897, Mr.. and Mrs. Macdonald
Travelled practically around the world,
visiting the British foreign possessions,
as well as the United States.

joyed the dancing aboard the ship on
the voyage from England recall an in
terview five years ago. When asked what
she thought of jazz music. she replied,
II cannot see it at ALL" and one Won

First Cattle Importation.

The first cattle brought to this
country was in 1924, when four animals
we're carried on the ship Charity for tne
New England settlers at plymoutn;
Despite the intensely cold Winter and
the attacks of wolves, the herd thrived
and in the course of a few years
assumed considerable proportions. The
animals were owned by the individuals
and it was the custom for them to
unite upon the selection of a shepherd,
who gathered the animals together each
morning and took them out to the graz
ing lands. It was necessary for TINS
person to remain with the herd all day
and in the evening to return the AMI
mails to their owners. The colonies were
soon exporting oxen to some southern
points, where they were used for hauling
timhers in ShtpyardS.

PARIS, October 4.-Advices today

Coste, missing French aviator. was re-
ported to have landed so miles from
Chieta, Siberia, about 400 miles east of
Irkutsk.
If the French ace and his companion
succeeded in flying almost to Chieta
from LIE Bourget without landing, they
will have set new world record for
distance in nonstop flights.
Irkutsk is roughly 5000 miles from
the French aviation field, and Coste, in
his red Breguet. seems to have gone
even farther east.
The record for nonstop distance
flights. held by the Italians, Arturo
Ferrarin and Carlo Del Prete. is 4.475
miles. They made this mark July,
